Desk

I'm in search of a desk for my home office and I'm leaning towards the West Elm 2x2 console desk. The only the thing I'm worried about is that it's only 18" deep. I need LOTS of workspace and I'm not sure if that's going to cut it. I love the openness of it and the shelves on either side are perfect for stacking books, or tucking away baskets filled with fabric samples. The price is perfect too.

This gray and white striped scoop-back chair would pair perfectly with it. I wonder if it's comfortable?

Should I go for it or keep looking? Have you seen any fun, inexpensive desk recently?
