Room Magic Desk/Chair Set, Boys Like Trucks Natural

It's such a shame, this desk. It is marketed as a "quality product...made with sustainable hard wood with a natural finish and stained...and varnished...". It is hard wood and it is a natural finish stained and varnished, but the problem is the quality. I decided the other reviewers with problems were just unlucky. After receiving this item twice, I think you'd be lucky to get a good one.The first desk had shipping issues. UPS obviously overlooked the fragile and this end up notices. There was a large hole in the top of the box that had been patched. I later figured out not only had it been patched, but the box top and been removed, the top layer of styrofoam had been swapped end to end and replaced, and quite possibly whoever did this left their box cutter in the box, because there was one loose in it when I opened it. The major damage from shipping was that the corner of the top was hit and basically smashed.On top of that, one drawer front was detached completely. One cleat between the desk top and side was broken in half with one half attached and one half loose. One bag of hardware was missing. Another drawer front was split but still attached. Getting the picture? The shipping was poor, but that doesn't explain it all. So, I sent that one back and asked for a replacement.The second one arrived in better shape. Naturally, UPS left it standing on an end leaning against my window. But, there were far fewer holes in the box. I was optimistic. Here's what was wrong with this one. Same drawer front(in the row) was detached from the drawer. Drawer back of same drawer was also detached. Desk top corner damaged (same exact corner because there is only cardboard protecting it and just about zero chance the shipper isn't going to stand it on an end at some point). A chair rail was broken all the way through. The desk back, the piece that stands as a backstop at the rear of the desk top, was split on the bottom where the dowel hole was. That dowel was broken in half. Also, the finial/decorative pieces were just plain missing. The cardboard container the first box had them in was there, but the pieces weren't in it.On the plus side, no outgassing. Which makes it all the more shameful that they couldn't get it right. The desk I'm typing this at is very similar to the "Magic" one in that it's a put it together yourself thing that weighs a lot and is shipped in a box. It came in the crappiest cardboard an styrofoam that practically disintegrated on contact. And yet, because of HOW it was packaged, there was not a scratch anywhere. The "Magic" desk could be a good product. It is let down in manufacturing and packaging. Now our supposedly eco-friendly desk is two piles of trash and a lot of wasted fuel, time, and energy from here to Thailand.If you have a suggestion for a girl's desk that is made of hard wood and doesn't outgas, feel free to add that to the comments since we still don't have a desk.

The pink and purple pictured in the Tropical Seas are not accurate. The set is more like stained or lightly painted wood. The purple makes the legs look dark purple. The pink stain makes the drawers look sort of pink, but you call still see the wood underneath. The picture shows even bright color throughout and it's not like that in person. I am disappointed with the appearance of this desk as compared with the picture. There were no directions for the chair in my box and you have to drill your own holes and get creative to put both the desk and chair together. Not a novice project.

This desk arrived in a very beat up box. Sure enough, when I opened it, the desk had a serious ding in the hardwood top and two of the drawers were busted. The ad states that this is a hardwood product, but that is misleading. All of the drawers are made with press wood, and the two that were broken split where the press wood was stapled together. Cheap! Also, the instructions are terribly simplistic and I had parts that were mislabeled. It took me twice as long as it should to put it together because the instructions were so bad. There is also a butterfly accessory that is supposed to be mounted on the back stop, but there was no hole pre-drilled for mounting it, nor was it even mentioned in the instructions. Finally, the pink color is not really pink as the picture shows. All in all, this desk is a poor value and should be priced about half what it is for what you get.

I ordered this because I liked the colors and design in the pictures. However, it came with a missing back-support for the chair and the decoration fish. I ordered a replacement and that too was missing the chair piece. Moreover, the replacement set had colors that were distinctly faded/washed as compared to the first one. The first one also had a repaired joist (for want of a better word) underneath the table top. I have pictures that I will upload once I figure out how.The packaging had styrofoam that was aching to crumble. Made a mess at my house entrance. I was sorely disappointed since I had great expectations, having liked the design and colors so much. I wish they would put in just a little more effort. This can be a big seller.I must say though that Amazon customer service is amazingly good. I am a Prime member and the only inconvenience I faced was the effort I put in to repack everything.

Poor attention to detail made assembly difficult.Expect to spend 3 - 5 hours of skilled labor on this project.Holes needed to be drilled into the desk drawers and the desk didn't include the right washers.Fortunately, my brother in-law, who is a competent engineer, wanted to build this desk for my daughter. Otherwise, we would have been very frustrated.

The desk and chair are sturdy. The assembly was not too hard but we could use a few pre-drilled holes on the boards. My husband kind of complained about that. The colors are less vivid/bright than I had imagined. But it's still a nice-looking set of furniture for a kid's room. Love the shapes of the fish/star fish.This set is actually quite high for my 5 years old and I have to put a cushion on the chair for her. I believe she can continue to use it till she's much older, say 15.

I bought 'Boys Like Trucks Chocolate', actual color looks even nicer than the image online. Chocolate is more like a dark Cherry color. My 5 years old absolutely loves it. Sturdy, Spacious, Excellent quality, worth every penny. Highly recommend. Made in Thailand.

We love`t, We wish if we can have the same deal agian for the orther daughter.Let us know if you could make her happy.Thanks,Ash& Annie
