I love this desk, its solid and its great for putting stuff on which is the second reason I bought it. The main reason I bought it is for something to hide under and cry. I also needed space to eat, sleep and ponder over the meaning of the many reoccurring dreams I have. The one that concerns me the most is this one where Im trapped under a desk whilst I beat Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow at a game of snakes and ladders. This leads to a personality clash with me and Robbie whilst Gary recites Shakespearean poetry in the form of urban rap to calm us down and it works, we become friends again. The space underneath will give you plenty of room to do this and more.  Assembling it was fun. It says you need 2 people to assemble it but with common sense and a bit of strength it can be done solo. Unfortunately I have neither but I assembled it in the end. Man did I cry a lot though. In short this desk is great and I would recommend.
