OP here. What’d you find? I found some amazing vintage school desks on eBay, but nothing that doesn’t cost an additional $300 in shipping. [/quote]

We did something like this (not pink) for $225 including shipping.  It's actually very nice.  My kid is 6, so she's easy to please.

This desk is a knock off of the Vivo desk we bought for about $150 - there are dozens of versions of this desk on Amazon and Wayfair for anywhere between $100-$200.  It's a great desk - really sturdy, and super adjustable.  It's not pretty, but personally I prefer form (and ergonomics) over function. [/quote]
OP here. Funny, seeing this desk over and over in my search is what’s leaving me so frustrated. I want something that is simple and well made, not a plastic Disney version of something. Different strokes and all that, but this isn’t for me. 
I might go with that play table C&B has, but that’s also not ideal.

I think my taste is too high for my means, lol. These are my picks that I either can’t get or can’t afford:

This thing ships in 6-8 weeks:

Can’t get this in America:

Might get something like this and try to find a comfy chair:

Truly, America is devoid of any good and simple design. Good, quality items shouldn’t be out of reach for common people. Ugh.

:roll: Just move to Scandinavia then.  Why don't you ask your child what he/she wants and then look to buy something that is going to be comfortable? The first two don't look comfortable at all, your poor child will be sitting there all day, they need something that works for THEM, not what looks pretty in your house.  People like you are insufferable.[/quote]
