Bought this for a home office. Took the two of us a couple hours to put together, but once you get past that, it looks great. It's as sleek and modern as you're going to get for the size and price. Good price/quality ratio. Can't immediately tell it's laminate unless you look more closely, which is what I was going for. As we've been using it for several months, I can tell that the edges will slightly discolor and show some wear with more use (just like most laminate items), but I'm still happy with the purchase. My hubby is a gamer, and it has plenty of room for two monitors, his speakers, keyboard, etc. plus some extra side room.
