This desk is very simple. I love the shelves on the side of the desk it was really useful. I mainly needed this desk for studying and typing up papers which is my thinking desk lol. It was really easy to assemble. The only down side was that it had like chips all around the edges but it's okay, it still looked brand new and decent. I use the top shelf for my laser printer, middle shelf I left empty for when I drank wine I would place it there. The last shelf  I used for all my textbooks for class, so I won't lose them because college textbooks are expensive. But all in all it is a pretty good desk, especially if you need it.
