The desk is a perfect size if you don't have a desktop case you want to display as i have a 32" monitor and it has a 6inch gap each size leaving no space to display my case it doesnt matter to me. Easy to build following the manual i also like the big mat that comes with the desk that fits on the surface of the desk so now i dont need a mousemat. I would recommend as a first desk but if you wanted to fit printer and the case itself then go for the bigger version.
