I ordered this in the bright green color (maybe called lime?) for my son's homework desk. It was easy to assemble - my son did a lot of it and he is eight. He loves it, though he doesn't weigh enough to push the seat down, so he needs help if he raises it too much. It worked out perfectly for him, he loves everything about it. It feels sturdy enough to last him for a long time, or for an adult to use.
