I purchased this desk to be put in my bedroom so I could have a place to do my homework.  I had a handyman install the desk due to it's weight and it is truly a delight.  I really like the idea that when it folds up, it doesn't look like a desk.  Many have visited and had NO idea it was a desk.  I also like the idea that I can just leave my items in the desk and close it up - great space saver.
