My grandsons love their new desks. They make schoolwork so much easier when there is a place for everything. The little desk lights are fun and all of the little places to put their books, schoolwork, the printer and the computers gives everything it’s own spot.￼ The desks took quite￼ a bit of time to put together. (Two hours to assemble the first desk.￼There were many pieces and parts to assemble.) The wood material is slick on the sides but has a little texture on the tops. It looks OK. The desks should get a lot of use but I think they will hold up pretty well.￼￼￼
