This is a desk for Adults, not little ones who sit on 2 textbooks and try to use a desk that was bought for mommy. But for the sake of letting her get it out of her system, avoid a meltdown, and make use of bribing her to go to bed, my daughter in law snapped a pic for me to show the overall lovely desk and easy to read and follow directions for assembly. She is by no means one who puts together furniture on a regular basis, my son usually builds what they need but she was short on time and needed a desk immediately when accepted into a prestigious program that she was not expecting and therefore needed a desk immediately. We both thought this one would fit her needs and the area in their home that she could be able to have space in front of her for all her study aids and computer but also have her printer, place for text books she isn’t using at the moment and storage for paper for the printer. Besides the ease of constructing this desk, the fact that is is 48” and is in the “L” shape all played a big part in the purchase. For me I felt the price was not only in my budget but allowed me enough left over to purchase other things that were needed for her office. This desk is by far the cornerstone, with it being a beautiful medium color wood and black metal beams to adhere the wooden boards to. It has a clean industrial vibe to it which matches their homes furnishings. Along with the pictured chair, we also got a industrial desk lamp and the wood matches the farmhouse door that separates the office from the rest of the house. This desk was a very fair price and actually for the size, quality, ease of construction, look, and usage I think I made a very wise choice in purchasing this as a gift to a wonderful daughter in law.
