Overall, this dusk is pretty slim, which I like it fits easily into a lot of spaces. I don’t have a room dedicated to being an office, so this is great for us. I would say that one should use caution, if placing many very heavy books on top, or in the drawers I don’t think it would be able to really handle that. This would be a great task for someone who is doing light work, drawing writing or works from home. The quality is good, I feel it’s similar to most products in the Martha Stewart collections. The design is trendy and goes with lots of different decor.
