The desk is heavier than expected, but it still perfectly suits my needs. It tucks nicely into a small window nook that was the only available space in my apartment to possibly put a desk (no more couch sitting for work from home! my back, shoulders and wrists are all extremely grateful.) And I didnn't even realize how very helpful the built in hutch/raised area would be. I'm able to set my laptop on that back ledge without fearing it will be knocked over and it's then at the perfect height and distance for all my non-stop zoom meetings. Yes, the drawer is small and pulls all the way out, but that was a plus for me as it allowed me to tuck all the extraneous cord from my mouse under/behind it and out of site. Just wish all the exposed screw heads matched th color of the drawer pull.
