My new desk looks beautiful and because I didn't measure the space beforehand (nor pay attention to measurements on the website!) its a lot bigger than I reckoned! I still love it and it feels very prosperous to have all this room to move around in. There is space for my hulking printer-fax-scanner shelves and slide out shelf for my laptop. Feels great to be working on the computer on the left side and just move over to the other side of the "L" to write without moving anything. Rich cherry color and contrasting black metal end details and legs. Speaking of legs - they are oval not straight so there is more visual interest. Makes it easy to get down to work! And the desk was a cinch to put together - very easy to follow directions
