Stylish desk - I went for the darker 'wood'. Ideal for my home office where I use a laptop rather than a desk top. Also suitable for using our sewing machine. Can be built with shelves to either side. Slightly uneven join with the shelving part but it doesn't interfere with our use of the desk. Ideal shelves for router etc but not big enough for my printer which to be fair is on the large size. It was easy to assemble by one person.
