This desk works for my home office space, allowing me the ability to set up monitor, keyboard and laptop on one side and still have the other side free to spread work out across my desk. The desk was much bigger that I expected but still fits well within the space. The reviewer who mentioned that this is not a family heirloom piece is accurate and I agree with their review. Box was extremely heavy had to remove each item from inside my garage at a time as opposed to trying to carry the box. There are 3 separate holes to hide cords at the top of the desk and a storage area underneath the desk which can nicely fit a printer or snack basket or binders. I'm very impressed.
