This desk is more decorative than functional (as a work/writing desk) due to it's small size and slim profile. It doesn't take up much space, and is super cute for displaying framed photos and nicknacks. If you want to display decorative items, or need a resting spot for your laptop and a few supplies, it's perfect - and the drawer is handy for extra storage. This desk would also work well as a homework desk for a child's room.
