My wife wanted a desk, but on the smaller side. She wanted to use it for a place to have her laptop, as well as a place to do bills, etc. We found this and she really liked how it looked, and the dimensions made it perfect for the little spot we picked out for it.Assembly was fairly easy. Pretty much no different than any other piece of furniture you order online anymore.The desk is sturdy and provides exactly what she wanted. It has drawers to hold her stapler, paper clips, pens, etc., and even has a filing drawer in it. The only complaint she has had about it is that the drawers are a little on the thin and small side. They don’t hold a lot, but at least they do hold some stuff. The file drawer won’t hold years worth of records or anything, but if you want to use it for monthly bills and then move last months stuff to a file cabinet, this is the perfect use for that type of system.Overall a great desk that looks really good and is plenty sturdy. Just be warned of the smallish drawers. They still work, i just with they could be a little bigger.
