We bought this desk for our 11 yr old daughters room and she loves all the different shelves.  Unfortunately, the box was a disaster when it was delivered and it was incredibly heavy.  There were a few dings/chips on the shelves and of course they ended up on the front of the desk. She doesn't mind and I'm sure eventually it will have more from her but I was a little disappointed. However, it was free shipping and the overall price for the size was great.  As long as it lasts a few years it will be worth it!
