I bought this computer desk because I needed a compact size computer desk because I already have one for work and needed another for personal computer and space was an issue.  I absolutely love this desk, having the bookcase shelving in addition is a definite bonus and you can't beat the price!!!  It's not the best quality but for $27 you aren't getting top notich quality and I understand that.  My husband assembled and used wood glue for all areas of wood strip assembly for added stablity and worked like a charm!
