KidKraft Avalon Wooden Children's Desk with Hutch, Chair and Storage - Natural, Gift for Ages 5-10

This is a great kid's desk. After 3 years of heavy use, the desk continues to work great and has retained it's durability. It's the the perfect size for kids ages 4-9 years old to do their homework or other projects. The built in hutch is fantastic for organizing papers, homework, workbooks, etc. It is easy to assemble and the honey color looks great. It is neutral enough to work with any color scheme. Although it may seem on the pricey side for a kids desk, if you do any comparison shopping, you will find that is well worth the money. The quality and durability is well worth it.

Ordered this desk for our 7 year old granddaughter on 112123 for her Christmas present. It arrived on 112423. I assembled it on 122223. The instructions were straight foreward, however there is no narrative, just the photos. Save the assembly manual as it has the Batch Code Number which is needed for any future issues you may have. After completing the assembly, I noted there was a crack in the top of one of the desk leg. I removed it, photographed the damage to the leg, glued the crack and reassembled the desk. The desk was delivered on 122523, she LOVED it. I emailed KidKraft Customer Service on 122623, was answered by KidKraft Rep "Kayla" before the end of the day. I provided the information she requested (Batch Code, photo of damage, photo of receipt). On the morning of 122723, "Kayla" emailed advising a new desk leg was on the way, who the carrier is and expected arrival time. How do you beat Customer Service like that? OUTSTANDING.The desk itself is well made, very solid after assembly and you may need another set of hands to keep parts aligned while you tighten bolts and screws, but is pretty straight forward. I recommend this desk for 5-10 year olds. I will also be looking at other KidKraft products for future gifts.

I was like you, going through as many reviews as I could, before I decided to buy the Kidcraft Large Avalon Desk. And believe me, you won't be disappointed! I bought this desk and chair for my six year old son and he has been happy with it ever since. It is sturdy,well built and has safely rounded corners. The hutch comes with little cubby holes that holds notepads,diaries and other curios. I like this smaller hutch compared to the bigger one in another desk,as we have this desk against a window and the hutch is perfect in not blocking off the light. The desk has a smooth and polished finish, making it easy to wipe away the stray crayon/paint effects.The reasons for the 4 star rating instead of 5 :-1. One of the joints at the underside of the desk(where it meets the leg)was a little loose. Not really wobbly but not as tight as the other ones. Maybe a better quality check could have fixed this.2. The product is advertised as Kidkraft Large Avalon Desk,although it comes with the chair too. I was confused at first whether the chair shown was just for matching effects or whether it actually had the chair included. I also came to know that some people ordered a second chair without knowing that the pack already had one! It would be great if they explicitly advertised as Kidkraft Large Avalon Desk with Chair!Overall, a great product, well worth the money.

I have been looking for a desk for my 6 year old grandson (Christmas gift). After checking retail stores and finding nothing but THIN particle board covered with imitation wood shelving paper I stumbled onto this desk. The desk & chair (they come as a package) arrived in a slightly beat up box. However, good packaging by the manufacturer resulted in no nicks or breaks ... THANK YOU!Assembly was straight forward with very good pictures. The only problem was a stripped dowel cam to secure the top storage bin. After a little DIY all turned out well. Note: KidKraft includes a very helpful form letter listing an 800# if you have any problems with assembly or missing parts, etc. NICE TOUCH!The top storage bin is made of furniture grade plywood with veneer. I rate that as 5 stars!The legs are very sturdy and appear to be solid wood or MDF. Either way, 5 stars!Desk appears to be furniture grade plywood with veneer. Again, 5 stars!Chair is SOLID. Believe an adult could stand on this chair without causing damage. Another 5 stars!Measurements:* Desk top: 24 3/9" high (32 1/2" with top storage bin) X 41 3/4" wide (X) 23 3/4" deep.* Top storage bin: 39 1/4" wide (outside) X 7 1/2" deep insideWithout question, the desk should hold up for many years UNLESS it is abused.For the price this desk is a solid buy and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking for a youth desk. Amazon may categorize this as a toy but I would classify it as furniture for children.NOTE: I DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY and rarely give a 4 or 5 star rating to any product.

The desk was easy to assemble. This desk is sturdy. This desk is for smaller kids. My son is 7 and we might get a couple of years out of it before he out grows it.

Recently purchased these desks for my 10 yr. old son and 8 yr. old daughter. When assembled they were exactly as pictured in the ads. They are great quality pieces of furniture; very attractive looking; fit great in my kids' bedrooms; and they love them. I think they will be great as my kids get older too, whether they want to just use it as a writing desk, or to put a laptop or computer screen and keyboard on them. Highly recommend these desks, and at a great price. We shopped for desks at a furniture store, but they were outrageously priced, so we searched online and found these, and basically purchased two desks for what we would've paid for one at a furniture store.
