I ordered this for my Grandson (8) and after it came I realized it was almost identical in looks to one his sister got about 6 months ago. The difference is we did not have to add any reinforcements to this model to feel safe about it. The instructions are clear and anyone that has a lick of ability putting a Lego set together can do this, simple-simple...screw driver and rubber mallet and all went well in about 30 minutes; mainly due to the fact that the material is heavy and I put it together on the living room floor(carpet). Good desk for the money, would recommend to anyone for kids room or for smaller spaces as a computer desk.
