I bought this for putting into the spare room because I needed a desk that could fold away but still be used comfortably for long periods. In that this desk delivers well, it is smart, it folds away neatly although it does need the lid actually popping off to do so, actually it makes it slightly stronger. However, it is at just the right height to be a full size desk and when paired with a suitable chair it is very comfortable to work at all day. Overall, I'm very happy with it.
