Intended to use it as a dual-purpose workspace for an elementary school student: (a) a writing desk for homework and small projects (b) PC workstation for a very small footprint desktop hooked up to an LCD monitor. The writing workspace is just adequate; it could've been a tad bit larger to accomodate a small book stand, and I suspect, over time I will likely remove the CD stand for that purpose. We replaced the drawer in the front with a keyboard tray and that's created a perfect PC workstation environment. The cup holder has been repurposed and now conveniently holds a pen/pencil holder. The company should consider adding a second cup holder for the other front leg. Overall an excellent product: sturdy, easy to build, nice looking, inexpensive. Kudos to the manufacturer.
