I bought this for my two year old and she loves it. From a child POV, she would probably give it 5 stars. From a parents POV, I gave it 4 stars. Assembly was a lot easier with a drill, because by hand would require a lot more strength. The backside of the easel does not fit 8x10 sheets of paper, or average coloring books. If you have wood floors your child will fall trying to sit down on the stool. I would suggest a play rug/carpet. Overall though, I feel satisfied with my purchase, it’s sturdy and serves its purpose.
