I selected this model by taking into account the comments I had read. I confirm that my 8 year old daughter is thrilled to play the mistress on a "table like in school" is fun, playful. She uses it to play, to review homework and we wrote sweet messages before falling asleep. Quality OK, if the chalk holder could be a little wider would be better, same for the brush you never know where to put it because there is no support provided with the table. Despite this last remark I recommend this purchase.
