I’d say you get more than what you paid for this desk, but it is what it is. It’s about the width of my standard MacBook Pro, with a water glass or a coffee cup on either side. It is deep enough to push back the laptop and have a small notebook in front of it. It’s not super sturdy, so I wouldn’t buy it if there were going to be rambunctious toddlers or dogs around. However, it has really served its purpose for me during quarantine, Altho I bought it before. I’m 8 weeks into using it and trying to figure out how to make the space bigger and more useful with other pieces of furniture. Knowing what I know now, th at it is not suitable for me to work at 9 hours a day, I’d recommend something else. For a workspace to use here and there, or even a couple days a week, it might be fine for you. It does look nice and was easy to put together and was delivered with no issues.
