Sure, it's designed to protect your desk, just make sure there are no small children around

It's supah nice and the pink brightens up my desk

stapler look bulk but stands upright and has padding so not to damage your desk or anything.

Otherwise, this is one of the nicest desk staplers I've seen

Color is awesome brightens up my desk and perhaps the best part about this model is that one can stand it up using the front side as a base if desired, however, unlike some standing stapler models it offers a flat bottom allowing one to stand it either way
