The chair is not that comfortable for my 5 year old son, but we added a pad and he likes it now.
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.

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.

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!

Slight chipping on one of the legs and a screw that wouldn't screw in, but otherwise spot on.
