I bought and just received  2 of these desks for my granddaughters, ages 7 and 10. I am very pleased and so happy with them.They arrived in 8 days and in perfect condition. I was worried because some of the earlier reviews said the paint was cracked and looked antiqued,  The curvature of the desks adds a special look. They are very sturdy. Just a hint, I changed the brass looking knobs with pink and purple knobs purchased at Hobby Lobby to make them girlish looking and to match their bedrooms!
