When I purchased the desk I was going to use it for my home office. However, when I finished assembling the desk I realized that it would look best if it were against a wall and not sitting in the middle of the room. This was a little disappointin. However, with that said, I really like the desk. It is very functional and does what it's supposed to do and it actually does look pretty in the room. I just had to reconfigure how I decorate the room.
