I was nervous when I got the desk because the main "desk" piece, the green tabletop had a crack in the bottom side. I'm too lazy to return things so I said, "let's try it!" I put it together myself while my husband was out of town and after about a month it has held up really well. My one-year-old daughter loves to sit it in and eat her snacks. I'm really happy with the purchase, I just hope that crack doesn't catch up with us as she gets bigger and climby-er. :)
