Our children's desk is a great place for young scholars to start developing good study habits. As recommended by teachers, children should have their own place to study other than the kitchen table.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too small for my 5-year-old and shoddy craftsmanship, September 16, 2009

This isn't necessarily a bad value at $35; it's cute but the craftsmanship is poor and the age description is misleading.

The "desk," which is really a table with a drawer, wobbles. One of the screws that came with it (not one related to the wobbly leg issue) had a stripped head so I had to use my own. On the plus side, the pre-drilled holes all lined up.

My biggest gripe is that the manufacturer describes this desk as suitable for ages 36 months to 10 years. We'll be lucky if my average-sized five-year-old can use it for a year before either growing out of it or breaking it through normal use. I'd say it's sized for two- and three-year-olds.

I'd return it if it weren't a hassle to take it apart again and repack and ship it.

Despite the poor review(s) on this product, I have to claim that this product is well made. The colorful pieces looks great. The table was easy to install. The screws fit well. Installs in a snap. What I did additionally to make sure the table was sturdy when installed, is that I used some carpenter's glue and applied a tiny amount between the joining wood pieces before I screw them together. Yes, this would make the parts join permanently, but I have no intention of returning it or disassembling it in the meantime.

My toddler daughter likes it and the height of this table is just right for her.

I would recommend this product for anyone who is looking around for a cute and stylish wooden table for their young toddlers.

Great little set for toddlers! I bought this set to use as a photography prop (daycare portraits) and it's perfect for little toddlers. However, the chair is pretty small, so any child over the age of 4 may be too big for the chair. But overall, the kids LOVED taking turns sitting in the "pencil" chair, which made my job so much easier! :)
