This is a great desk and makes excellent use of the space it takes up! It fits perfectly in our bedroom corner, to create an extra "study". There is plenty of workspace, for a laptop as well as writing area. The shelves are perfectly sized, and the holes for the cable are a bonus. It looks pretty well made too, and a good indication of this is that the parts fit well together without any trouble, especially the shelves. Assembly is pretty straightforward, took me two hours. But pay close attention to *all* the steps, and especially the curved arrows that show you which direction the holes point.
