This little writing desk (it is narrow, not a lot of depth, perfect for a laptop with a monitor stand or a paper notepad) is a wonderful addition to our bedroom, where my writing nook is. If you are a shorter person like myself (5') you might find you need a chair pad to give enough lift; I use this as well as a stepstool for my feet for support. The desk is comfortable and we relatively easy to put together. You do need to have a second person's help to flip the desk after it's assembled, so be aware of that.
