I had been looking for an affordable desk & chair set with the roll of paper included. This product was VERY affordable, but it has already been returned. The desk legs were already broken, but I believe not from shipping, but from the cheap material it is made from. I will take part of the blame, because I hadn't read the reviews. After reading all of the reviews, I should have known. But, I think if there are SO many poor reviews on this item, it should not be out there for purchase. Also, I tried not the give this product any stars but this site does not allow that. So, for the record, I give this product NO stars.

Beck Children's Wooden Art Desk and Chair with 100 ft. Roll of Paper

First off, the recommened age (36mo. to 6yr.)is a joke. You couldn't sit a 5-6 year old at this desk unless it was resting on there knees. The drawer was broken, the legs looked like they been kicked around in the warehouse and only one of the legs had the hole for the paper roll. On the bright side, I only wasted $30.

You need to be careful when putting this desk together. It can break the wood at delicate points. My 3 year old LOVES this desk and spends hours drawing. It is worth the money, but be careful how fast you screw it together.

As other reviewers have stated, many pieces did come with chipped paint. Because it will probably end up that way with normal use anyways, it was not too big of a deal. It comes basically with 2 sizes of screws and an allen wrench to tighten them. The smaller screws were to attach the backrest. The rod to hold the roll of paper can be unscrewed at both ends to load and unload paper. The paper edge cutter on top of the table is just attached to the top with dowels so can be easily removed if not used (with 2 holes exposed if you do so). I have had to unscrew and reposition one of the pieces because it did not line up with the legs. The drawer when closed was not flushed with the front but it could easily be fixed by just repositioning the small piece acting as a drawer stop. It fits my 5 1/2 year daughter (I have posted a photo) but perhaps other kids at that age are much larger. Possible remedy at that time could be to just put something under the legs to raise it up slightly.

draw a little flimsy, but ovrall great desk. My toddler loves it, she sits at her desk and draws pictures,and does crafts projects...glad I bought it, also a space saver- its small and slim

Here is how I put it to Amazon Returns, in 200 characters or less: "Shipping box was dented, ripped, and open at the top. Desk/chair parts inside had scrapes, chips, cracks, and a piece once glued/affixed had fallen apart."

I had been warned from the previous reviews, so it wasn't a shock. I highly recommend you not waste your time buying this product.

the table is shoddy.the paint started to chip the day it arrived, and it was broken. it would probably cost more to ship it back. at least i got alot of paper for it.

This table is soooo cute....my daughter loves it, I love it. However, after 6-9 months of usage the table started to come apart. the table top comes off the pegs, legs are wobbly, drawer is coming apart, the piece which hold the paper down on the table top was the first thing to come off after 2 wks of usage. You will need to use some sort of wood glue to get everything to stay together and not come apart. Wish I'd put out more money for the more expensive and possible durable table. Alas, this will get the job done with Gorilla Glue's help

I bought it for an older child. And he was a little too big for the chair. He's 9 years old. And the paper fell off the roll at least twice during use every time.

It's a little smaller than I had hoped, but it's constructed well and I think it'll work out just fine for what i need.
The only thing I would say bad about it, is that the tool they sent to assemble it stripped out pretty quick and I had to use my only hex whench. So if you don't have one, you need to pick one up. Otherwise it'll be really hard to get the screws as secure as they should be.
