I have a desk my parents purchased when I was about 10. I also have the diesk that my sister used-so I put the 2 together to make an "L"-it is great. I have drawers to put "stuff". Then, my other sister gave me her cutting table that is behind or butts up to the desk so now I room to spread out!. Whew-lots of space-I like the desk with the drawers the best!
