I ordered the 40" desk and the size is perfect for a small desk lamp, laptop, and space to write on a standard school notebook beside the laptop. The legs, framework, and 2 drawers are made of wood and the top is covered in a wood-grain laminate. The drawers are small - 8.5" x 12" x 1.5" each - and are fine for small stationery items. The desk was easy to assemble and is sturdy and stable for what it is.
