I wanted a simple art desk for my 9 year old daughter. This desk is pretty good. Here's a list of the pros and cons:
PROS:
1. This desk was well-packed. Nothing arrived broken or damaged.
2. The desk top is able to lay flat or angled.
3. The plastic drawers on the right side provide additional storage.
4. The desk comes with wheels and casters, so you can decide if you want the desk to move. The front wheels can be locked.
5. The instructions are fairly easy to understand. It took my husband and I about an hour to assemble.
CONS:
1. The desk comes with an allen wrench and a hex wrench, but in addition you'll need a Phillips screwdriver. Actually, you'll need an electric screwdriver. When screwing on the brackets, just using a non-drilling screwdriver won't work. My husband is very strong and even he couldn't get the screws all the way in. Once we brought out the electric one, they screws went in with no problem.
2. The plastic trays on each side are flimsy plastic. They pretty much just hang off the brackets. The cups aren't deep enough to hold pens or pencils (they are supposed to be for paint). If the trays were actually built into the frame it would be much better.
3. The 3 drawers arrive unassembled and we had a heck of a time snapping them together. I was worried that we would break them. Luckily we didn't.
All in all, it's a decent desk, especially for a child. My daughter loves it, and it's a good height for her.
