I have had one for years and love it - it keeps things organized so that when you want to stop you're ready. I know you can store a laptop in the space below the desktop, but the downside of this is it looks very attractive to thieves who may assume there is something good in there!
I got it for about 1/2 the price at Canadian Tire, check the automotive accessories section of a hardware store/Walmart near you and then you can try it out.
