This really is a very nice little desk and fits my 5-year old perfectly, and I anticipate it will fit her for a few more years. The wood is of good quality. I love the little bookshelf on the side of the desk. Assembly was fairly simple, but there were not enough short screws (fewer than were required in the instructions). This is my only complaint--the incorrect number of screws included with the instructions was not a major issue, but it was an unnecessary hassle. Otherwise, I love this desk and highly recommend it!
