I bought this desk specifically for a small office area right off my living room.  It fit perfectly and is an excellent complement to the living room area.  The drawer is can serve as good storage for computer/phone cords, pens, and other basic office supplies.  The drawer seems to be made a little shoddy but it's not problematic as I don't plan on using it for any significant items.  The desk itself is beautifully made and is sturdy so far (I've only been using it for 3 days now).  I live on a 4th floor walk up and was able to get it upstairs with the help of a 15 year old.  It basically has 5 parts - the desk top and the legs.  Took me less than 30 minutes to assemble.  I'm very pleased with it.  Recommended for a more traditional type look.
