Our 2-1/2 year-old daughter loves it. The easel assembled easily, with all the right parts, all the right alignments, and clear instructions. It seems sturdy. The dry erase board comes clean with a soft, dry rag after using the enclosed markers. The dustless chalk comes off the chalkboard with a damp towel. We're very happy with this easel and recommend it. 

Note: 
1) This is not an easel meant to be folded up and put away every evening, which is fine by me. Loosening the cross-braces to fold it up can be done without tools, but it does require removing a few screw and brackets. I say this just so no one has a false expectation
2) The height can be set at any point along slots on the extendable legs, so do not expect fix height increments. This can be a benefit on uneven floors but it also requires a little effort to get all four legs set for the same height. I like the continuous slots but some people may be expecting fixed height increments.
