My daughter recently bought a new house with an office on the main floor. In her other house she was still using her college desk. Because her generation is computer-focused I wanted to  get her something that would work with her lap top. This desk is perfect. A large "executive" desk would never fit her style. It would had have used up a lot of space and not add any value. She has more than enough room with this desk and it is a nice looking piece of furniture in her office. The large opening allowed her to buy a comfortable over-sized chair. Not having to sit in a typical desk chair is reason enough to buy this desk
