I really like that you could compress the desk down and then pull it out when you needed more room but when the desks are together there's only a small space between the two so the desk underneath isn't functional. I also found the top smaller desk to be too high for writing on a monitor. All work had to be done on the lower, wider desk which i think is the initial design plan but it kind of makes the top desk useless and just there for cute ornaments, maybe pencils. I had to keep moving things from one desk to the other to work if i didn't keep the desk in an L shape and is only best used with a laptop.
