I bought this for my son who has an incredibly small bedroom. Moving into middle school, he will be doing most of his homework after school at our dining room table, but if he to he can go to his room for longer term projects. He needs something to write on that won't take up so much room day to day. I think secretary's desks are a smart choice for small homes because of their small footprint. I have one for myself from World Market, good quality and I got it half off on a mega sale they were having at the time.Well, I needed one for him now, so I came here to read the reviews. I was so impressed by the real wood and looks nice comments that I decided to give it a try. It didn't hurt that it was $100 off. So it came fast, we inspected each piece and none were scratched, so we went to putting it together. Well, my husband did. He said it took him about 30 minutes, but he is pretty familiar with furniture like this. Instructions were poor, but it managed to get together and it looks absolutely wonderful. Even has scalloped edges on the top and drawer piece, so it looks more finished. We bought a junior chair from IKEA to go with it, and we are all set.Definitely recommend this for a small space.
