This is a beautiful desk.  Unfortunately, despite the Q & A answer otherwise, it doesn't accommodate a laptop.  With the rolltop open the laptop screen won't open all the way without the keyboard several inches off the lip of the desktop, and an average 10 inch laptop won't fit inside with the laptop closed.  I bought it based upon the bad Q & A answer.  I have found, thru several purchases, you can't trust these answers.  The off-gassing from the finish is also unpleasant, but starting to abate.  Will probably keep this, but wish site info was more accurate.
