It's perfect! Not super simple to put together as there are lots of pieces but with 2 people it wasn't to bad. The desk is exactly what we wanted and is perfect for our 8yo daughter.  Tons of storage and plenty of space for her to do her school work and art projects. Although we've only had it a couple of weeks, we feel it is well worth the price and then some. We highly recommend this desk to anyone looking for a spacious work space for their child.
