My 4 year old daughter loves her "big girl" desk!  The drawers are a great color, bright and cheery, and they are huge!  We use one for art supplies and the others for toys.  She does a lot of "work" at her desk and the top does get marks on it from crayons etc but it is nothing a Magic Eraser can't fix.  I might end up covering the top with a clear adhesive or something along those lines.  It is a fairly large desk so takes up a portion of her room, but because of the size, it will grow with her.  She also keeps a lamp, small tea set, vanity mirror, and play make-up on the desk and still has room for art work.  I would highly recommend this to anyone and plan to buy another in blue for my son.
