This desk is perfect. It is the ideal height and length. Backside is finished. Pencil drawer, 2 drawers on right and storage on the left. Even though it's not made a solid wood, it's as close as you could be. Made by Sauder, you know it's quality! The only downside is the time it took to put together. The instructions are clear and have humorous comments throughout. But if you take your time it is definitely worth it. I love it
