It is exactly what I was hoping for! I spent many hours researching craft tables and had a list of things I was looking for. I wanted stable, usable drawers under the table; A side tray for pencils and pens that wasn’t cheap plastic; a sturdy, stable base, and adjustable height. This has all of those things and more! I had help putting the table together and the two of us got it done with no problems in about an hour. I love the metal side tray for the pencils. The pull out shelf that stays flat, even if desk is titled, is great. I love this desk. It is a great quality. I highly recommend it.
