We ordered this in chocolate for our 8th grader and so far are very pleased with it.  It is compact so as not to take up too much space and looks modern, but fits him nicely even though he's 5'7" or 5'8".  I paid extra to have an assembly person come put it together and it was the best money I've spent.  A part was missing and he took care of ordering the correct part, which promptly arrived a few days later.  I called to have him return to finish the assembly and he came back that same day, with no extra charge to me.  Very pleased with this desk and the assembly service.  The desk did have a few small scratches on it but I assume more will appear with use by my son, so not a big deal considering the low price.  It would be nice if instead of the keyboard pull out, the desk had an option for a narrow drawer there for pencils.
