This desk fits perfectly in the corner space I have.  The top is real wood, not pressboard, with a nice finish that highlights the wood grain.  Note - it is not a completely smooth surface if that is what you are looking for.  The width of the larger desk area on the right is 19 inches.  The width of the shorter desk area on the left side is not quite 14 inches.  It was more difficult to put together than a piece of Ikea furniture.
