Desk arrived quickly and in decent condition. Desk top is thin but adequate. Top of desk, when shelf/light bar is in place, barely accommodates my average sized laptop (laptop screen when open hits front of shelf, laptop hangs over front slightly). Good enough for my purposes but wouldn't want to spend all day at this desk. I bought the desk because of the price and the ability to get the drawer space. Will likely remove the desktop shelf and light unit to make enough room to work. Because it is a narrow desk, it is a bit "tippy" on medium pile carpeting so I will be attaching it to the wall for stability.
