I had first purchased (locally) a very style specific, black with wire mesh, printer stand made by the same company as this one. I am sure it would have been fine, BUT, I like simple, clean, uncluttered, minimally detailed lines and cutouts, because I like ease of cleaning. Might sound silly, but we have a dog, we don't live in a hermetically sealed unit, and my hubby and I are "the maid." The fine metal mesh of that stand screamed WORK to me...think cleaning the holes in a very fine sieve...and it went back to the store.This stand, OTOH, with a satin or matte black finish (closer to satin), is a breeze to swipe clean and since it isn't high gloss, doesn't show prints.It is strong, the style is clean and simple, it should be able to fit into just about any scheme if for no other reason than that it is so unobtrusive. Ours sits atop part of two filing cabinets, has a large Canon multipurpose printer on top (with room to spare side to side), and we have over two reams of regular paper, various grades and sizes of photo paper, and several other specialty papers & films all neatly stashed underneath and close to hand. Viva vertical storage!A final note, this stand has been designed to help control cord clutter and to use a (sold separately) USB hub, I can't speak to any of that yet because I will worry about cords and (maybe) more hubs later, but I appreciate the forethought that went into the design.
