I got this desk to use for drawing and painting. The desk top is perfect for that! The deep depth allows me to have my computer on the desk with a piece of paper or paper pad in front of it. The cubes near the top are nice and the shelves are easily adjustable so I can change them as needed. I do wish it had a couple more shelves though. The shelves below the desk top are great and fit so much! I keep my printer on the lower shelf. If I could change one thing besides having extra shelves, it'd be nice if the desk top was a bit longer. With the cubes on the desk top they use up space that would be great to have.
