I have a weird nook in my living room and didn't know what to do with it. I figured it would be a good place to put my desktop computer, but then I started to realize how much of a hassle it was finding a nice sized desk. Even though this is a 'writing' desk, it is absolutely perfect in its new place. You definitely need 2 people to assemble this desk, and the directions can be a little difficult to read. Overall, I can fit my desktop and printer with a little extra space, so I'm very happy about it. The extra storage is fantastic also!
