I bought this desk for my 6 year old granddaughter, from the time I started researching desks, this desk went on sale.  I ordered the desk and it arrived in 3 days.  My husband and I layed all the parts and pieces out and took our time putting it together, it looks just like the picture and I think it is a perfect size for an elementary school student.  I know my granddaughter will love this desk for many years to come.  I was quite pleased with the directions which were easy to follow and we took our time and it came out great.  Now I only have to store it until Christmas!!!
