This desk and chair combo is the best value out there. It was easy to put together and looks great. We bought two, one for each of our girls. It is a great size, for our 3 and 5 year old and I believe will fit them well for many more years. My wife just started homeschooling our 5 year old and the desk works great. Very stable, you'll love it. We have no complaints at all. Some of the information as far as heights go is a little confusing in the description. The top of the desk is just shy of 24" and the top of the hutch is just shy of 30". As far as the chair goes, the seat itself is about 14", so it is all sized quite well for your little ones. They don't have to sit on thier knees to work at their desk. You can't go wrong with this one. And you will not find a better bargian. We did find the desk online with some cheaper shipping options, but they were all sold out.

I love this desk. We bought it for our 7 year old daughter and it fits her perfectly. I did think it was going to be a bit taller but it will fit her for a few years. Assembly was easy. The desk does come with chair in the same box so don't order the "better together" combo because you will then have two chairs and they will charge you to return it. I searched high and low and this is the best deal.

This desk is definitely worth the money. My daughter wanted a white desk with a hutch and had picked out many over [...] not including the chair. I ordered this one without her knowing and at first she was upset because the hutch is not that big. But once it was assembled she loves it. She is 8 and loves the little cubbies in the hutch. Everything is packaged nicely and there was not one scratch or ding or funny smells. The hardware had everything you needed (no extras) in separate baggies for the chair and desk. I put it together myself in about 1 hour. We did replace the knob with a blue glass knob from the hardware store just to make it a little more unique I guess and it looks great. With free supersaver shipping and no sales tax, there is no better buy out there. Trust me, I have looked!

this is a great looking desk. very strong, and my husband put it together all by himself. Now that takes great instructions too.

Bought one for each daughter, ages 5 & 7. Perfect for them and will be for several years. Easy to put together, good instructions for assembly. Good value for the money, decent furniture for the price and the purpose. Had an issue with one hutch, damaged in transit. Company replaced 100%, no hassles. High marks for entire process. Would recommend - and have done so already!

I was like you, going through as many reviews as I could, before I decided to buy the Kidcraft Large Avalon Desk. And believe me, you won't be disappointed! I bought this desk and chair for my six year old son and he has been happy with it ever since. It is sturdy,well built and has safely rounded corners. The hutch comes with little cubby holes that holds notepads,diaries and other curios. I like this smaller hutch compared to the bigger one in another desk,as we have this desk against a window and the hutch is perfect in not blocking off the light. The desk has a smooth and polished finish, making it easy to wipe away the stray crayon/paint effects.

The reasons for the 4 star rating instead of 5 :-

1. One of the joints at the underside of the desk(where it meets the leg)was a little loose. Not really wobbly but not as tight as the other ones. Maybe a better quality check could have fixed this.

2. The product is advertised as Kidkraft Large Avalon Desk,although it comes with the chair too. I was confused at first whether the chair shown was just for matching effects or whether it actually had the chair included. I also came to know that some people ordered a second chair without knowing that the pack already had one! It would be great if they explicitly advertised as Kidkraft Large Avalon Desk with Chair!

Overall, a great product, well worth the money.

After searching high and low for good desks for my children, I am pleased to report a great finding.......the Kidcraft Large Avalon Desk - Honey. Not only is the price perfect, but the quality is perfect as well, (two were purchased). Easy to assemble, (tools included); desk and chair are sturdy enough for an adult to use, (if your children let you). May even consider sending the this furniture to college with my children to save a few bucks......). Happy studying!!!!

I was very pleased with this desk and chair- Was able to assemble it fairly easy and now my daughter is enjoying it very much- The desk is quite sturdy and the chair is strong- The delivery of my product was expedited quickly- Thank you very much

Recently purchased these desks for my 10 yr. old son and 8 yr. old daughter. When assembled they were exactly as pictured in the ads. They are great quality pieces of furniture; very attractive looking; fit great in my kids' bedrooms; and they love them. I think they will be great as my kids get older too, whether they want to just use it as a writing desk, or to put a laptop or computer screen and keyboard on them. Highly recommend these desks, and at a great price. We shopped for desks at a furniture store, but they were outrageously priced, so we searched online and found these, and basically purchased two desks for what we would've paid for one at a furniture store.

I have been looking for a desk for my 6 year old grandson (Christmas gift). After checking retail stores and finding nothing but THIN particle board covered with imitation wood shelving paper I stumbled onto this desk. The desk & chair (they come as a package) arrived in a slightly beat up box. However, good packaging by the manufacturer resulted in no nicks or breaks ... THANK YOU!

Assembly was straight forward with very good pictures. The only problem was a stripped dowel cam to secure the top storage bin. After a little DIY all turned out well. Note: KidKraft includes a very helpful form letter listing an 800# if you have any problems with assembly or missing parts, etc. NICE TOUCH!

The top storage bin is made of furniture grade plywood with veneer. I rate that as 5 stars!

The legs are very sturdy and appear to be solid wood or MDF. Either way, 5 stars!

Desk appears to be furniture grade plywood with veneer. Again, 5 stars!

Chair is SOLID. Believe an adult could stand on this chair without causing damage. Another 5 stars!

Measurements:

* Desk top: 24 3/9" high (32 1/2" with top storage bin) X 41 3/4" wide (X) 23 3/4" deep.

* Top storage bin: 39 1/4" wide (outside) X 7 1/2" deep inside

Without question, the desk should hold up for many years UNLESS it is abused.

For the price this desk is a solid buy and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking for a youth desk. Amazon may categorize this as a toy but I would classify it as furniture for children.

NOTE: I DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY and rarely give a 4 or 5 star rating to any product.
