DS bedroom - getting a desk

Hi everyone - I'm hoping somebody can help me here. DS is 6 - we are putting a desk in his room. He has a mish mash of storage in there right now, a Target bookcase and storage bins and a PB train table. Nothing matches, but his bed is from Land of Nod and it's a cottage style bed in a honey color. The only desk in this style is going to be outgrown before he gets out of elementary school, and the hutch is backordered until April! I'm also concerned b/c they are changing manufacturers and I'm afraid the finish will be different. I like another desk they have (espresso simple) but I don't know how they would look together. Anyone have any opinions? I'm not of the matchy-matchy school (his nightstand is painted blue as is a toy chest in his room) but I would like them to work together.

I saw a PB desk that would look good but I'm not crazy about PB's quality. Any other suggestions for a decent quality desk?

If anyone can post pics of their DS's rooms (All messes will be ignored!) that would be helpful.

Thanks for any help!

What about this one from Target?

I got a blue one from Costco years ago for about the same price $250 but now it has gone up to around $500 BUT I will tell you the darker blue finish shows dust like crazy!!
For me.....I suggest going more reasonable - boys are hard on furniture - they are not going to look for a coaster for their drinks - they jump off of desk - if they need to reach something - they will stand on it - they will slide something with pointy edges across instead of picking it up..... just wait until you get a handful of boys in his room - I accept the nature of the beast instead of trying to change it:) :) :)I am the only girl in the house!!
Here it is in a color called warm oak..

Your bed

Stanley Furniture's Young America line has several desks that would coordinate well with your bed. Iam not sure how the pricing compares, but I would guess that the quality is similar to Land of Nod.

Quick resolution to this one - thanks for your input. I went to a store and got a better quality desk that he can never get rid of! It was a floor sample and I got it for less than I would have paid for lesser quality PB, etc. I actually got 2, a white one for my daughter who was initially getting it. Made in the USA, dovetailed, a nice piece of furniture. I was all set to buy off the web, but I'm so happy I made the trip and put my hands on several styles. The quality is lacking in so many lines of furniture, especially for kids it seems. Thanks again!
