This little desk was a great find...slides neatly into a small 36" by 36" tight corner  and the real added bonus is the shelving unit which uses every bit of wall space for book storage and collectibles. I searched every well known store and website and this was the smallest  in terms of space,  and the low price and free delivery helped make this our choice. When it came "quickly", my husband put it together easily in a few hours and my daughter's room had an instant study corner !  The shelving unit can go on the  right or left which is a great option. Even the pull out keyboard tray  works well. The white color and quality are acceptable for the product as is, and once covered with the laptop, books, and desk supplies, it doesn't really matter.  I would definitely buy this again and recommend it to anyone living in a small "city" apartment where space is limited ! It would be nice if it was also available in black or brown.
