The desk is what you'd expect for the price, slightly less quality than IKEA (press wood holes and screws) but it assembled in about 20 minutes. There is enough room for a notebook or laptop for homework or light work, plus pens, sharpener, stamps etc. I do like that it has a fairly low profile and doesn't project into the room very far. We could also adjust it to my child's height, which was great.
The mounting to the wall is the hard part. It's more complicated than a shelf, and you really need to think about the support behind the wallboard and if it can support not only the shelf but the pressure on it when being used. Luckily, my husband is adept at this, but even he had to think about it for a while.
