My 6 yr old daughter just loves her new desk!  She has plenty of room to work at it and enough drawers and nooks to put all her stuff.  I had a hard time looking for a small enough desk to fit in her room yet not be too small that she'll outgrow it quickly.  I think this desk is large enough to last her for a few years.  It's been very sturdy so far, and there's been no problems with chipping paint (which I was a bit worried about).  This was a great buy!
