I love the desk.  It was easy for my 24 year old daughter and I to put together in about 2 hours.  It takes up so much less room than the previous desk.  It is in my diningroom and my husband uses this desk/computer.  He hasn't complained about me getting rid of the old one and he doesn't like change.  I put his papers in a decorative box on the shelf below.  That works fine.
