I was specifically looking for a shorter than average desk with a minimalist style and footprint. At 27 inches in height (exactly as described in the listed dimensions), note that this is a good 3 inches shorter than your average table or desk. I'm 5'4", and this is the perfect ergonomic height for me to place my laptop keyboard (I pair it with an external monitor & riser). I am also able to use this for sewing, as it puts the working surface of my sewing machine at just the right height.
The work surface is constructed of MDF/laminate (again, exactly as described), but the printed surface is attractive and the legs are sturdy and stylish. I can totally see myself replacing the top with nicer wood down the road, but it's exactly as described, took about 5 minutes to assemble, and perfectly suits my current needs.
Be sure to read the fine print on the dimensions and materials on this, and if they meet your approval you will not be disappointed.
UPDATE: I just ordered my second desk so I can have a dedicated computer desk and separate sewing desk. I'm so happy with these desks!
