Just buy this!  I got two of these desks, one for each of my kids.  The quality is unbeatable.  I cannot believe these do not cost more.  They were easy to put together (although the instructions had typos), and they are beautiful and sturdy.  My kids love the compartments and the cork board.  My kids are both very tall for their ages (5 and 7), however it will be many years before they will outgrow these desks.  I can sit at this desk and fit my legs under it.
