The desk looks nice and the the 'cupboard' is handy for Files. The drawers are purely stationery drawers as they cannot store an A4 sheet of paper or even a 30cm ruler so no chance of storing writing pads or envelopes unless they are smaller than A4. Despite the available space in the pedestal the length of the drawers are unnecessarily reduced to +-27.5cm which is pretty much useless; They run less than half the depth of the pedestal which is a real pity and total waste of usable space.  Check your requirements out carefully as I was very disappointed with the limited drawer space. 3 of the panels were split and needed to be glued back together by my husband. There is also a small hole in the surface veneer but my keyboard covers it and  I will therefore just look for a repair kit to fill it in so as to stop further damage.
