We love this. We needed a compact desk or table where our son could use his laptop in a tricky section of our family room, along a small stretch of wall between the kitchen cabinets and a sliding glass door.  This little secretary is just right. It's more petite than a lot of desks, but provides enough surface area when opened to hold a large laptop and mousepad. 

It wasn't immediately obvious to us from the photo, but the secretary is built with extending wooden pulls to support the writing surface when it's opened, so the weight of the desktop (and whatever is on it) doesn't rest on the hinges alone.  I was worried that the surface wouldn't be sturdy enough to set the laptop on, but the supports solve that problems. Good design.  The drawers are a nice bonus, convenient for storing office supplies like paper clips, pens etc. 

 We got the black one and it complements our decor nicely as well as serving its intended purpose as a laptop station. Very happy with the purchase.
