It nice and big. True to pic. The only thing is, for me I don't have a bed on risers for it to go under. I have it off the wheels to write easier and I sit on a pillow. I was going to DIy a pull down or attach a lower typing area. The middle shelf is the smallest one and farther in the back than you might think. Yu can store things there, you'll have a problem reaching it from the front though and bend to get it from the back. The structural material is steady, a bit chipped or chuffed but good. The black wood has the grains visible but still dark and glossed. Its good, just awkward and functional- the customize and pulling part for the front needs needs. Only the very top with both of the boards, adjust in height not, the front back or forward.
