I purchased this desk for my seven year old daughter who wants to be a famous artist. Were waiting until Christmas to open it, but I already know that this is a great quality item. I researched tons of art desks, and while this one is quite pricy, Wayfair has it for the least expensive because there are no taxes or shipping costs for this item. I only wish it didnt cost so much, but I know it will last a long time, and my daughter will be able to use it for several years.
