My daughter wanted a desk for Christmas and I looked at a lot of desks! When I came across this desk I thought it would be perfect! I love the cork board on the back and the lighting under the hutch. The size of the desk is perfect for my daughter. I did read the reviews and one of them said it was better for a younger child and I was a little hesitant to purchase. But once I measured out by the specifications it seemed like it should be big enough. So I purchased it. It's sturdy, put together well and I think it fits the needs of a teenager well. My daughter loves it too! It was also packaged very well. The only negative is a screw that's visibly out of place but we can live with that minimal thing. Other than that it was a very good purchase and plenty big enough. And compared to other desks I looked at I thought the price was reasonable.
