I really like this micro-desk for my laptop. Needing to scale down due to smaller living spaces, I had sold my large corner group desk. I'd been using my dining table to work on my computer, but wanted to have the dining table free for its real purpose. The tall open compartment is great for bills or pressing paperwork that you may need to have constantly staring you in the face to remind you to get done. ;-)  The pull-down door is great for pens, pencils, office supplies like stapler, Scotch tape, ruler, white out, etc.--great for hiding those things, since I keep this in the living room! I did need some help in putting the mid section together. That is probably due to my lack of talent in that area. Other than that, it is just as the Web site said it was, and I would recommend the little desk to a friend! And, you can't go wrong with the Customer Service at Wayfair.com! You're fabulous! Thank you!
