Melissa & Doug Wooden Lift-Top Desk & Chair - Espresso

We got this desk and chair for our 2.5 year old avid artist and I was surprised at the love this set received from first glance. The lift too is very easy to use for children and both the table and chair are very sturdy. They have definitely been designed after much thought and consideration. The chair is easy to pull and adjust even for a 2.5 year old.Other pros:Ease of assembly ✔️Compact and takes less space ✔️Easy to clean ✔️Cute looking ✔️

Purchased for our 2 year old granddaughter. She took right to it and heads for it as soon as it's meal time. She also learned the top lifted on her own and discovered coloring books and crayons! I keep a "lacey look" placemat on the desk and a small photo of her with her mommy and daddy. I would call the color more of a dark cherry which goes perfectly with our other furniture. It adds a nice touch and makes us think of her when she's not here. Love it!

Easy to assemble, sturdy, and kid friendly. I bought it to use as photography prop and works great. Easy to clean.

I bought this desk for my almost-two-year-old for Christmas and it is so perfect! First of all, as soon as I opened the box, I was hit with a wonderful wood smell. It took some assembly, but I could see that this desk was very high quality, real wood (not particle board) and once assembled, was sturdy and solid. My son loves it. The chair is a little tall for him, his feet don't touch the ground when sitting all the way in the chair, but he doesn't mind. And I like that he can grow into it. His older brother (4 years old) fits fine and I can see this being a homework desk for Kindergarten and even longer. There is lots of storage under the lid, and I took the advice of one reviewer and ordered clear plastic make up containers for the ledge at the top for all his crayons. Opening the lid does not affect the containers and contents on the ledge at the top. My son has already scribbled with his crayons all over the top, but it wiped off easily and no damage to the surface. It seems to be coated with a protective glaze or something that protects it from dings and dents. It seems it will last for a long time. I highly recommend this desk.

The desks are fantastic! They are heavy wood with a nice hinge and plenty of good space inside the desk. The color is beautiful. They are the perfect size for us to start Home Schooling (because of Distance Learning). HOWEVER, while assembling the chairs, the one chair actually split one of the bottom rails apart (a sizeable piece flew off of the rail!). We had to glue it together. The other chair cracked in the same location, but didn't actually break away. We glued this spot also. This is very surprising because we have 4 of the Melissa & Doug play sets and they are fantastic! Overall, the desk is perfect, but the chair needs to be revised for assembly issues.

Very sturdy, wood came in good condition, I personally had difficulty putting it together but all pieces and parts were in working order.

The media could not be loaded. The table design is good but the quality is poor. The table and chair have scratches like they have been used before. Also the legs don’t have the same length and the chair and table are wobbly. The table lid for the storage doesn’t close completely, and you can tell the system for closing was probably faulty, one of the screws is different than the other ones and also stripped. Overall the design idea is good and if it was of a good quality would have made a great product. Too bad I assembled it otherwise I would have returned it.

I bought two of these for our homeschooling endeavor and I’m really happy with the quality. The desks were easy to put together, look beautiful, and are very sturdy. The chairs are very sturdy as I can sit down in them without fear my adult tuchus isn’t going to break it. The instructions are very easy to follow and each desk took less than 25 minutes from opening the box to cleaning it all up.
