I use this desk for working on genealogy research.  There is something so clean about this design that I find it easier to push through all my cluttered notes to get the info they hold into a coherent tree.  I start with a stack of scribbled notes on the backs of envelopes or whatever and end up with a sense of accomplishment.  It arrived early and was very well packaged.  It's a great work surface for the price.  I would not recommend it for use in an area where small children are present.   

Pros: Great price and easy to care for surface.
Cons: Could be hazardoous for children who would be tempted to play around with a transparent piece of furniture.
