I don't usually write reviews--however-- this product was more than expected.  I thought if it turned out to be too childish I could give it to one of the grandkids, but it is very stable and sturdy and meets all my needs as a pencil artist.  The best part was I assembled the whole thing by myself and I am a 78 year old woman.  The directions are not written but the pictures are very clear if you study what they want you to do at each step. Every single piece was numbered and packaged separately so laying these out in advance simplified things. I did need to use a no-mar hammer at one point to get the legs to set right when putting them together(might have been something I did wrong here).  would recommend this to anyone--I ordered the small size but  the 2x3 work surface is large enough for me and the side table holds my tools quite nicely.
