I needed a sturdy desk for my computer. Not one too big, but big enough to put my bookshelf speakers, monitor, and just general desk stuff. I like the bottom shelf because I put my computer tower there. I love having a keyboard pull-out, to help minimize clutter on the desk. I believe someone else mentioned this, but when I put the filing cabinet drawer together the top and bottom ones aren't aligned perfectly. Since they're separate drawers, they don't affect each other, but it bugs me if I look at it.

It's definitely a great desk for the price. It took me about 3-4 hours to put it together, so be prepared to spend some quality time on the floor reading the directions.
