THE DESK IS JUST PERFECT.  IT OFFERS  A LARGE WORK SPACE AND LARGE ENOUGH TO PLACE A LAMP AND PHOTOS. THE DESK HAS AMPLE STORAGE BETWEEN THE DRAWERS AND THE SHELVES.  ITS A GREAT LOOKING DESK FOR THE PRICE.  ONE MUST HAVE PATIENCE IN PUTTING THE DESK TOGETHER.  IT TOOK MY HUSBAND WHO HAS PUT MANY THINGS INCLUDING GYM EQUIPMENT TOGETHER 4 HOURS.  HELPFUL HINTS,   READ AND RE-READ  THE INSTRUCTIONS,  AND SPEPERATE THE PARTS.  OH,   AND PUT A RELAXING CD ON.
