Media Center/Extra Desk
We bought this last week and are so happy we did. We have a tiny 750 sq ft. apartment that can't handle traditional sizes of anything. This fits wonderfully in our living room and multitasks the following: entry way console for lamp; temporary living space for stuff heading out the door, storage for board games, cd's, dvd's, extra cords, mail; charging station for electronics; an extra desk for when laptop use would be better done not on a lap; media center (for TV, amp, dvd player, digital converter, mac mini). The best is that with the doors closed, no one needs to see this piece of furniture hard at work. Negatives: it has been off-gassing slightly and the doors are hung crookedly (soon to be correct by C&B with minimal effort on my part). Otherwise appears to be well-made and very well-designed.

Very Satisfied
This piece of furniture is very stunning! My delivery experience was one of the best ever; the gentleman arrived earlier than expected and were so professional and pleasant!
I only wish it had been a little cheaper but it is definitely worth it; the quality is excellent and solid. The color fit perfect with all the other pieces in my living room. Highly recommend the investment!

Love this desk
This is so much more than a desk, it's a piece of furniture. It's incredibly well made and I was amazed to find EVERYTHING fits! Printer, tower, files, LOTS of space!! I have a 19 inch monitor and I keep my laptop on the desk's surface as well. The keyboard tray pulls out to allow plenty of room for my legs to fit comfortably underneath.
I've had many desks...but I've never had one quite like this. Extremely pleased!! Highly recommend.

Almost Perfect!
A sturdy, sleek, innovative piece of furniture and oh so close to perfection! Highlights: the sliding printer shelf; the two drawers for supplies and the fact that it closes to hide all of the home office clutter. The minor issues I've identified:
- My CPU barely fits. I had to flip the removable shelf upside down to eek out enough space and even with that adjsutment, I still have to lift the shelf to get to the on switch. (I'll get accustomed to it)
- It would have been better to have designed the file drawer so you can load and view files facing forward. It's awkward trying to find files while looking at them sideways. (I'll get used to it)
Overall, I'm very happy with this desk.

Not much to improve on
This piece is in my family room and does a great job of concealing my computer, keyboard, mouse, and printer. I was surprised at how generous the interior space was, considering how compact the package is. My monitor, camera, and speakers are sitting on top. The piece is also beautiful with the doors closed. I am VERY pleased,
Two issues: it would have been nice to have the sides extend beyond the back in order to more fully conceal the cords. In addition, the doors swing out, so you need a couple of feet on either side to fully fold the doors against the sides.

OK, but what about ...
Where to put your legs? You can't put them under the desk as you would normally. I love the looks of it, and you can't argue with 20+ 5-star reviews, but doesn't the lack of leg room drive you crazy?
Gave it a 4 as I freely admit I don't own this piece and didn't want to drag its rating down ...

Elegance and Functionality
I could not be more thrilled with this purchase. I live in a condo and have no place for a desk other than near the front entrance. Everything I need is in it: room for a printer, keyboard, hanging folders, copy paper and plenty of room for office supplies. There are several cutouts in the rear of desk, so that all wires are hidden. The best part is that it is so elegant and beautiful, and no one would guess that it houses all I need to work comfortably.

Perfect for a livng room family computer setup
I love this desk. It lives up to it's Incognito name. It houses the family computer in the living room. The quality is great. Very sturdy & heavy, yet still easy to move.

Compact and Elegent
I replaced a huge seven drawer desk with this and a Spotlight Ebony Credenza. I now have more storage than I ever needed and the corner of my living room where my desk is located looks sleek and elegant. I love it! The drawers and doors move smoothly and the overall construction feels solid.

Love It!
I needed a compact desk for a small space. And I needed a piece of fruniture that did not look like a desk. I found both of my requirements in this piece. I love it! It looks great, hides all the ugly office equipment and is so sylish. I highly reccomend it.

Great Purchase
I am very happy with this desk. It has a nice clean sophisticated look. It was definitely worth the money.
I have it in my living room with a large woven bowl on top - and I get raves from my friends. They can't believe it when I show them how it has eliminated my personal office clutter.

Solid piece
This is an attractive desk, solid, heavy. Hinges allow the doors to fold back completely against the side of the piece - nice feature. Was missing some minor hardware inside, but a call to customer service resolved this. Very pleased with this very solid piece. Many compliments.

Love this Desk!
I love the Incognito desk. I have it in a corner of my living room and it is perfect at concealing my laptop, printer, and other office stuff when not in use. It is a very solid piece of furniture and I could not be happier with it.

Perfect desk
I love this piece, it fit perfectly in a small space where I did not want a true office/desk look. Everything can be easily hidden in there and it takes a ton of stuff. The one drawback that I have had is the hanging file holders in the drawer tend to fall off frequently.

Beautiful and functional!
The piece is beautiful and functional. All the cord clutter is totally hidden. Perfect! It didn't come with the metal pieces to hang files in the filing cabinet, however, so I will have to go to an office store to purchase them. The delivery guy says they never come with office furniture, maybe this is true.
Delivery took longer than I wanted, but I think that is the contracted company that delivered the product in my city and not Crate & Barrel themselves.

I love this desk - perfect for small spaces
I bought this desk for my living room so I could use the room to work from home occasionally. I also tend to always be trying to organize all my bills and mail so this is the perfect solution. I can file all my bills and shut the doors. This is a very stylish piece of furniture and it doesn't look like a traditional desk which makes it so unique. It is a little expensive but I think it is worth it. I could not find any other desks that compared to this one.

Great all-in-one office!
This desk is a great solution for small spaces. It's like an office desk,filing cabinet, and bookcase all rolled into one. It has enough room to hold a printer, files, stationary, books and keyboard, which can all be hidden away at the end of the day. I searched for a while to find the perfect desk for our small condo and the Incognito was the best purchase I could have made. Excellent quality and craftsmanship!

Solid, sturdy all-in-one piece!
This is a great piece of furniture. I bought it to serve as a desk/file cabinet in my space-limited one-bedroom condo and it served double duty as a TV stand, too! It keeps me organized and the pull-out drawers and laptop/desk surface are wonderful. It’s extremely heavy, though, so don’t try to move it yourself! It also fits so perfectly with my black and gray color scheme, so it’s not only functional, but very stylish, too. A little pricey, but it’s a quality piece that I know will last a really long time, so I think the price is worth it.
