This desk is exactly what we were looking for. We were trying to increase space in our very small office in our home. This desk was quite a bit more difficult than usual for my husband to put together. But, in the end it looks wonderful mixed with our other cherry furniture. I would not advise this desk for a tall person. I am 5'5 and it is fine for me, but had I been any taller, my knees would not fit under the desk.
