Love this purchase so far! It was pretty easy to put together. It's very sturdy and big with lots of room to create. I knew it would be out in a main area of our home and wanted something that was aesthetically pleasing for both kids and parents. The chalkboard material is great! It's not the typical texture of chalkboard that gets super dirty. This wipes off very cleanly. I love all the storage! There is bonus storage in between the two boards that fits all our art supplies. I would deduct 1/2 a star because one of the boards came slightly chipped.
