It is a very nice writing desk that I will use for my make up.  Visually  it will take getting use to only because it is so different than what I had been using there.   I bought the ivory and the other desk was a darker finish and quite different.  This ivory desk has a nice drawer and was one of the reasons I chose this desk.  It is a nice size so can easily be moved to another area when you want to change things around.   It is in my bedroom now but at sometime I may move it into the living room for a writing desk.
