I have this floating desk in dark brown and had searched around quite a bit for something that would provide a desk space but take up little room in my small one bedroom apartment shared by two people. I LOVE this desk, it matches my bedroom set. It is very strong (provided you hang it correctly and put it into a stud) and looks awesome against my dark blue wall. The small storage spaces I mainly use decoratively. Not having drawers has meant less clutter! My chair fits perfectly underneath the desk when not in use. Definitely buy this if you are looking to reduce space but still have something stylish and useful.
