I wanted a office area in my kitchen so the desk had to be compact.  This desk is perfect because it is not too wide and has a file drawer plus two other drawers which makes it very functional.  My printer fits on the desk top and there is still plenty of room to write or use my laptop.  It is very heavy (120 lbs assembled) and a few pieces were heavy when assembling, but it's in place now and looks great.  The assembly was not difficult as long as one takes it step by step.  Some more written instructions along with the pictures would have been helpful.  One piece was missing, a cover for cam in the sitting section.  All in all an excellent value for the money!
