It works well in our living room.  Our new place didn't have an office space, so we added a desk to the living room to serve as the computer area. The draw slides easily, it appears to be very sturdy.  The shelf under the table isn't tall enough to put the tower on in, so we have to put it on the floor, but it's good to have the shelf there to put extra computer accessories (cd-roms and things).  It's good for what it is, more expensive that what I wanted to pay, but it doesn't look like cheap furniture at least.
