We surprised our grandson with this desk on the first day of Kindergarten. He loved it! The adjustable desk and chair make this really workable for a five year old now and should be equally as workable as he gets older. It is sturdy, solid and fits nicely in a small space. Though it looks great in a room that still features a "McQueen" bed, it would look equally as nice in a teen's room. Being a former first grade teacher in a school with lift-top student desks, I like that this has a slide in cubby for books and folders so we could add a desk lamp and pencil holder on the desk top. My grandson loves sitting at his new desk and hanging his back pack on the handy desk-side hook. This was a good investment.
