I wanted a computer desk that looked good and had plenty of storage space. After many days of searching, I kept coming back to this one because it had a ton of compartments to play with. Now my desktop case is out of view, the keyboard/mouse are off the main desk, and there is plenty of room for everything. The raised part of the main desk area is great for a printer, and you can store extra printer paper on the shelves above the drawers.

It did take a while to construct the desk because of the many compartments, but although it said to use two people I was able to do it by myself. The trickiest part is lifting the hutch up onto the desk. That would definitely be easier with another person's help. My only real complaint with the construction phase is that the surface, particularly near the edges, seem to get scratched easily. But once it was finished they are hardly noticeable unless you know where to look.

The main cons of this desk are that it is big and heavy to move around. It is definitely not for those who have limited space to put a desk. But, given its size, it is probably unrealistic to expect anything lighter.

Overall this desk is perfect for someone who wants a lot of utility with a design that is pleasing on the eye and easy on the wallet.
