Perfect for home school!
This is exactly what I needed for our home school room for 3 kids. I don't have a big school room, so I needed something that didn't take up a lot of space. Plus I can move them around the room if I need to separate the kids for individual work or put them all together for group work.I just finished putting all 3 together and here are a few comments on assembly. Two of the biggest complaints in the other reviews I read are that the legs aren't level and the pre-drilled holes for the top don't line up with the holes in drawer part of the desk.How to level the legs. Don't tighten the screws all the way down during assembly. After assembly of all parts, use a rubber mallet on the legs to do some fine tuning to make them level and then tightened the screws all the way down. All three desk are sitting level without needing to use the adjustable leveling pads on the legs.How to line up the holes for top. I found that I was able to line up most of the holes for the top, except for the holes on the front for the opening for the drawer part. Line up the rear holes for the top with the rear holes in the drawer part and drill at least two screws in each rear corner to hold it in place. Then, line up one of the front holes & drill that screw in. The other front hole will not line up until you pull the opening of the drawer outwards, while pulling this side outwards drill that screw in. Once this is done on all the corners, all the other holes will line up.I also recommend using a drill with an extension, so that you don't drilling the screws in at an angle. The screws are very difficult to screw in if you are doing them by hand because the "holes" on the top aren't actually pre-drilled, they're just a dimple in the top for the tip of the screw to line up with. They're really for visual alignment of the top piece and the drawer piece.This desk is very sturdy once it is leveled, no wobble at all. I really like the adjustable height, this is one of the main reasons I purchased this desk. I can set the height to fit each child and change it as they grow.Not sure about durability yet. But it seems like it should hold up for many years of home schooling. I have three boys (ages 10, 6, 6), so I'm pretty sure the top is going to get scratched up some. That is to be expected with any desk I get for my three tornadoes!

This school desk is perfect
This school desk is perfect for my child’s study area at home. It’s sturdy, stylish, and just the right size. The surface is smooth and easy to clean, and the built-in storage underneath is super convenient for keeping books and school supplies organized.It looks just like a classroom desk but blends nicely into a home setting. My child loves it and actually enjoys sitting down to do homework now. Highly recommend!

It gets the job done.
This is a nice sturdy desk. Don't focus so much on all the screws they are not needed. I put the two side pieces in by pounding with the leg part. It's so snug. No need to try and waste time trying to match the holes. I also only used 5 screws for the top. It's not like he's going to be using it as a jungle gym. It's a desk for school. Also the screw wholes don't match on the top. I matched one side which made it even and then just used an electric screw driver on the other spots and created my own wholes. Don't over think it. Just put it together. It's perfect for the time being whiles my child is in district learning and I love the storage compartment. Hides all the school supplies and gets them off the floor.

Sturdy and Excellent Desk
I bought four of these desks because I am a mother that home-school four children. It is very sturdy and it is very easy to set up. Some parts along the holes are a little uneven but it is a quick fix other than that I would have rated it 5 stars. One side might have two holes showing and the other side three holes showing but it isn't a problem as long as the desk is even and the screws are tightened in. It will hold and stay. Just a quick fix that should be doable. Other than that excellent desk.

Perfect!
So glad I got this for my kids! It was so easy to assemble I did it myself without my husband's help! Took me 5 mins all you need is a star screwdriver. You can adjust the height, desk is lightweight. Kids love the storage space just like at school and it does not take io alot of room so you can fit it anywhere..living room, bedroom no problem. Highly reccomend..cant beat the price

Great desk and sturdy
I have several of these and love them. Can be tricky putting together the first time because the legs are hard to get it to the desk frame. No other complaints!

Great Desk!
Bought this for my 2nd grade son to do homework on. It was pretty easy to put together, I was able to do t myself and I'm usually not very savvy with these things. It's adjustable so we made it fit just right for him. I like that it doesn't take up too much space as his room is rather small, but at the same time, there is a lot of room for him to do the homework. The bottom open drawer is very roomy, we store finished work, textbooks and books that we are reading in there. Very satisfied with this purchase.(Bought it with matching chair, which is a great fit)
