I wanted a good sized desk that would fit my laptop, separate monitor, separate keyboard + mouse, with room left o write on it. The texture of the desk is a bit lumpy, so if you want to write on it I would recommend some kind of writing pad. I like the textured surface because it prevents my electronics from sliding around.

Pros: Good value, 1 person could assemble (even the drawers work!), looks very nice
Cons: Much heavier than expected, assembly was do-able but complicated, the metal sides / legs do not fit perfectly to the frame once assembled
