    Disappointed in quality
    This desk and chair will serve their purpose. It’s for a kid, so it’s not like it’ll stay perfect. But I was disappointed to find multiple little cracks in the paint/surface materials on both the desk and chair, as well as yellow wood glue spots. You buy something new and you expect it to arrive in pristine condition. This wasn’t that experience. But it wasn’t expensive enough to make a fuss about returning when I know my daughter is about to get paint and glue all over it herself.

    Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2018
    This desk was easy to put together and seems to be good quality. I love that the top lifts up so that we can store away the many papers that my daughter hasn't finished yet. I first looked at some desks that had drawers, but they were all much larger. This fits better in the space we have, but it still has decent storage.

    I also like that there is a section at the back of the desk that does not lift up so that you can store items there. It took some measuring and searching, but I found some containers that fit along the back to hold her markers and crayons. For reference the back non-lifting section is around 21.5 inches wide and 3.5 inches deep (3.25 inches to the hinge in two places). I bought three organizers to put along the back to hold her markers and crayons.

    Two of these organizers for her pip squeak markers and crayons: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00932UTGQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Experience
    Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2022
    I bought this product for my kid and went to assemble it to ight on Christmas Eve so he can come out to see it next to the tree Christmas Day. Btw, I used to build / install machines for automation so I have a high skill level when it comes to building anything.

    1st: I noticed the quality was average to below average at first glance after seeing chips in the wood that were just painted over instead of fixing.

    2nd: I began building the chair to notice I didn't have enough of the nut inserts to fully put it together. It called for 6, the packaging said 6 we're there but I only received 4. So no chair for him Christmas morning.

    3rd: I started putting together the desk and immediately noticed that the nut inserts were just painted over without any plugs so now there is paint in the threads which makes it very difficult to start the bolts and has a higher chance of cross-threading if you aren't careful. I had to re-tap the nuts to remove the paint before installing the legs.

    4th: The arm that holds the desk gets locked when rises the desk up fully and causes it to lock in the wrong direction, making it impossible to close the lid without pulling the arm at the same time. My kid will not know how to do that at this age (18 months).

    I have included a picture of some of the poor craftsmanship put into these desks.

    I purchased this desk for virtual learning for my 5 year old. It's good quality and was very easy to assemble (less than 20 minutes). My son loves it and it's a perfect size for him at this age. I really love the mechanism to hold open the desk. It's very sturdy.

    I bought this for my daughter for Christmas and wanted to assemble it quickly so I didn't have to worry about doing it on x-mas eve. I was honestly expecting it to be a headache but it was actually VERY easy to assemble, which is great as I am 6 months pregnant so I'm glad I was able to do it on my own without any struggle!
    The desk itself is very very good quality, came with no scratches and the part that opens up has a system that would prevent it from slamming on her little fingers.
    I got this on sale for $95 which I think is well worth the price! I cannot wait to see her face when she sees it on Christmas morning!

    100% this is not what it was ever thought to be used for... but the perfect height to match my window sill, and sturdy enough for my dog to have a perch to watch the world go by from 😂
    Slight chipping on one of the legs and a screw that wouldn't screw in, but otherwise spot on.
