This desk is a perfect little writing desk. It is sleek, the wood looks nice (not like cheap IKEA furniture), and it fits well in the little space I was able to devote to my writing in my new apartment. The desk certainly is not large enough to be a fully functional computer desk or full-blown office desk, but it is not designed to be. It is exactly how it was described, it was very easy to put together, and it is sturdy. Can't ask for much more . . .
