Its the perfect size for the space I wanted it for. All I needed was room for my laptop, printer, and lamp. I did have to turn the printer sideways because its so big but I don't use it everyday so that's fine. And I still have room to have a notebook open for doing math homework. If you have a lot of things for on top, this desk might not be for you. But for my needs it is perfect. The color is a bit darker than my current furniture but was a better choice than some of the newer, modern, metal desks out there.
