This desk takes up little room but it large enough for my laptop (concealed behind the front panel when not in use),  a book or two, a small lamp and a mug of tea.

A bit tricky to put together because a hole did not line up perfectly, but all well in the end and my new desk looks great.  

I purchased the Cascade laptop cart (also in white) to use by the side of this desk to use as a standing desk. This combo is working perfectly!
