This is a much more substantial and sophisticated looked desk than even the photos show.  For a relatively compact desk in terms of footprint, you get a lot of desktop surface area (I have a 27" monitor and 16" MacBook Pro on a stand with still some more space), lot of keyboard tray area (fits a bluetooth Mac keyboard, trackpad, and mouse/mousepad).  The storage shelves are convenient to access from where you are seated, which for a photographer, means after importing photos I have a safe place to put my cameras.  The keyboard tray is also very stable, no shaking while typing.  I only wish I had ordered this desk sooner, it's a major upgrade in terms of both aesthetics and function to my home office.
