this is a cool piece...and yet, i would hesitate to call anything a desk that you can't scooch your chair up to/under. you can sit near it, but not *at* it. nice as a standing craft station though, depending on the height.

A work center for the patio or greenhouse area, but not for the house.

How many favela dwellers would want this?
