I'm not usually a big fan of furniture as I move a lot and don't have a stable home. Since I don't make furniture, I don't usually buy tables. I just buy the simplest folding table and use it as a desk. This product was just what I needed to make my cheap folding desk (I use one of those Coleman portable desks) look and feel like a real desk. The compartments are very well designed: I can use the main top shelf as a laptop stand, place a USB hub and small accessories on the bottom, put a speaker on a raised shelf, and a few miscellaneous items on the lower tier. The quality of the materials is top notch and the effort involved in assembling it was negligible.
