I shopped for a desk for a long time; you don't even want to know how many I looked at online. Then I found this one, and it was a great price. I wanted something sturdy to eventually hold a 27in iMac, and I think it'll handle it just fine. I love the two drawers; they seem to work well with that satisfying desk scraping sound. The desk looks great, but I kind of also wonder why I bought a white desk. It's going to be very hard to keep the top clean, and I'll probably need to invest in a plastic desk protector eventually before I am driven insane.
