I bought this for my 10 year old who uses it as a study desk.  It is very practical.  I love the fact that it does not rest on the ground.  It does not make a small room seem smaller.  He also loves it and that motivates him to work there.  It is a bit of a challenge to assemble and hang up.  I am fairly handy and I needed someone to help me hang it on the wall.  I recommend the product.
