I got this on sale for half-price--it was certainly worth it! It is classy, well-made, solid wood, convenient keyboard drawer...I was looking for something unobtrusive and relatively stylish (not a computer desk with ugly shelving, etc.) for a nook that I have in my small 1-bedroom apartment. Using my laptop at the kitchen table was not too good for ergonomics and now I also don't have to clear my laptop from the kitchen table every time it's time to eat :)
