Finally, a kids' desk with a file drawer!
"Love this desk! It was the only one I was able to find that had a file drawer (with option to file legal or letter size). Other manufacturers don't seem to think kids have anything to file, but I'm here to say that my daughter has more than I do!. We also purchased the hutch which has two nice cut-outs for cords, a full width cork board and a generous, undivided bookshelf. The construction is solid. My daughter loves it and she has kept her formally disheveled room tidy and the desk organized for nearly 3 weeks! A record!"

Solid desk, but finish doesn't match chair
"This is a good solid wooden desk, with the right amenities, but the color is not the same as the chair, even though I bought the same finish for both."

Wonderful piece of furniture!
"I am lucky enough to live near the outlet. This was the BEST back to school purchase ever. Solid. Heavy. Ready for my boys to really use it. Also got the chair to match. Amazing value. Really really nice!"

Could be better...
"Received desk Saturday, so 3 days ago. 8 yr old already managed to mark desk top while playing with his toys so I will have to get a vinyl blotter on the way home to try to protect it. It is a nice looking piece although I wish the drawers felt a little more solid. The size is great though and will last him through his teens but I just don't think the wood and finish will hold up very well. I wish I had gone with the light wood because the damages would be less noticeable but too late! Also, this dark wood is a dust magnet. The chair is solid and we got the cushion too which is great. Love that but I have my reservations about the desk. I have to add though that my son loves it. He has been sitting at it for 3 days playing and drawing. He put all his "friends" (stuffed animals which he was outgrowing) up top which is great because he can "store" them without giving them away and they are not all over the floor."

White Simple Desk and Hutch and chair
"Love it! It's large, roomy, sturdy, heavy; the cork board on the hutch works wonderfully and is perfectly intact; the shelf is roomy although taller books have to stored long ways instead of upright yet it's deep enough to allow for that. Once we buy some sturdy bookends we may move the taller books to the top shelf which is also roomy enough to place storage bins as shown in the picture, the drawers slide nicely, they're also roomy and very well made. The whole unit is very well made.
The white is a true white finish. Now we need to buy her a matching dresser.
Our 6.5 year old daughter loves it; she's been sitting there writing, drawing, and playing - She wakes up early to sit at her desk. She reads and does her homework there. It's perfect. She'll will have this desk through graduation and college. Delivery within two weeks. The delivery guys brought in and assembled it in my daughters room exactly where I told them to.
The chair has not been delivered yet still waiting"

Beautiful Desk Set
"Very well made, solid, sturdy. We bought it with the hutch and chair, and our 6-year old son loves it, fits him fine, also fits adults, so he can use this throughout school. Fits a large flat panel, computer tower and keyboard, with still plenty of desk space for doing homework, etc. Shelf space is very nice, deep, plenty of room for books. Drawer space very nice, drawers work smoothly. Very happy with purchase. Delivery fully assembled was very nice as well!"

great piece!
"We purchased 2 desks, one for each of our 8 and 6 1/2 year old daughters. The design is simple and matches our decor. The natural finish is perfect for a girl's room."

low shelf, no light, scratches easily
"Desk top scratches very easily and it is readily apparent b/c it is contructed with a light wood, covered by a dark stain. I've had it less than a year, hardly used and it looks very beat up.
Shelf is not adjustable and it is rather low in height.
Hutch really needs a light underneath the shelf. Very dark without light.
Chair is sturdy and well made."

Awesome Desk!
"This desk is very well made. It is very sturdy and the fact that it was delivered already assembled makes it a much better purchase than from some other companies. The delivery team was professional and it was delivered in perfect condition, and we've moved since - so it's taken a lot of abuse already. It is the perfect size for my 2nd grader, yet it will definately last into the teen years. I am going to be purchasing the hutch today."

Very Practical Desk
"I saw this desk and liked it right away. It was exactly what I was looking for. The color was right and there is a good amount of storage space. My son liked the corkboard to hold his papers. I would strongly recommend this desk to anyone. Your kids will get good use out of it!"
