It's not clear from the pictures, but this desk is tiny. My daughter is 6, and she's almost too big for it already - if it lasts a year I'll be amazed. Especially since it's poorly designed - the pieces don't fit together easily or well, and are secured with cam bolts that don't fit well. It's a real balancing act to try and get it all together at one time, and I found it difficult. 

It also came short of some hardware, about a half dozen screws short of its inventory list. I had my own, but i I hadn't, it would have been impossible to complete. Over all, I don't recommend this - it's too small, shoddy, rickety and poorly designed.
