I got this to use in my home for when my grandkids come to visit. They are three, four, and five. All have enjoyed it. It is sturdy.  I would have liked the magnetic letters to also have lowercase. Not a problem however, I will go get some. I love having a chalkboard and whiteboard. I love that the whiteboard is magnetic. And I love the clip to hold papers on the chalkboard side. Great toy.
