I don't really like the traditional "make up vanity" desk so I looked for something more my style and found this with no regrets! It's perfect for doing make up, my sewing, my art work (all stored on the different shelves) as well as for just working on my laptop in general, with lots of space to put everything. It's larger than I anticipated so make sure you look at the measurements before ordering. Very simple to put together, I managed it by myself however the box it was delivered in and the main desk piece is quite weighty so some people may require a second person. If you are looking for a simple, stylish looking workspace I would highly recommend this, I'm really looking forward to getting stuck into my hobbies now.
