I ordered this for my girl's 9th Birthday.  I was uncertain about it with the reviews saying it was fine until 12'ish years and others saying no, but we didn't have the funds to buy a larger desk right now.  It arrived very quickly.  There were a couple of dings (assuming from shipping, but could be manufacturer as the packaging looked fine) - nothing major.  Looks great for the $$!  We will only get a year or two out of it (and my daughter is on the small side).  She has loved it, though!  Fits perfect right this second!  Best for younger children (4-8'ish).

Pros: Good value for the $
