I am very pleased with the craftsmanship of this item. The only thing that would make it absolutely perfect is if the height was adjustable and/or it included an appropriate chair to accommodate the height of this specific table. Even though the item showed free 2 day shipping; it was not. I did receive prompt responses to my inquiries about it and was told only some items qualify for this even though this was labeled with a counting down clock showing how long I had to snag this offer. The shipping was my only negative, but I appreciated the curtesy of the customer service rep and know it isn't their fault. 

I would highly recommend this for the artist in your family...there isn't a better bargain for the quality of this piece.
