The under shelf, even though seen in orginal picture, was quite nice after assembling everything. A bit roomier as a result and was thinking it was orginally going to simply be a narrow bit of shelf good for a loose book or knick knack. Poor thing ha so much crammed in it!
As for the actual shelp itself...if the thought of IKEA makes you swet...do not get this one. The manual is straight forward, though with two people putting it together it was...lengthy, to say the least. That said...the desk itself is excellent and the time to put together is not something I hold against the desk itself. Looks excellent with everything on it and has a, at first glance, wood look to it. With out knowing otherwise I would have assumed it was wood! ( with the actul cost of oak, for example ) and have already got a few jelous comments from others about it as it simply looks that good.
What else can I say on it? Nothing has broken, more then enough spce for what is needed, and nothing has warped or buckled under any weight I have put on it ( like a computer tower, moniter, far too many misc things on the top shelf, bottem shelf, main desk area... ) so I am pleased over all with it!
It works, and more space then expected
