This desk/table is perfect for two people to sit for coffeebor to use a laptop. We wanted a certain size (long enough length and shallow depth) to be in front of our great room window where we sit to in the winter to gaze at our mountain view. The table top shows fingerprints easily, so we had a piece of glass cut to put on top. It was not difficult to assemble since two of us worked together on it. I was wary of that because of other peoples' reviews, but we got it done in less than an hour.
