I love this desk! The sale price made it worth it. It’s perfect for how much work you have to do in grad school. And I’ll definitely still use it way after I’m out of school. I didn’t buy it for the LEDs, but they actually are a nice perk. I will say, the bottom part of the desk isn’t wide enough to set my laptop on and type on it. I didn’t think about that when I bought it, but I just put it in the corner and work that way. I still have plenty of room to have multiple things out  while I work, like my tablet and notebook, agenda, etc. There’s also so much space to keep all my decor or other things up top, and my school supplies in my drawers. Also the fact that you can switch the way the desk is oriented is awesome. Easy assembly as well. 1010 would recommend for any student or professional just starting out in their career.
