We bought this for our 2 year-old grandson after noticing that he loves doing crafts at daycare. It was not difficult to assembler (once you realize that the legs need to have the holes heading a certain direction), and it is very sturdy. I love that the legs of both the chairs and table are adjustable, so it can grow with our grandson, and the chairs are sturdy enough to hold adults to they can sit with him.The surface really does clean with just a wipe from a wet cloth. Marker, crayon, paint, playdough - nothing has stuck to it! (We haven't used any glue yet, though). The table top is big enough to do workbooks, painting, and puzzles. Our grandson absolutely loves it, and he uses it all the time. He loves having his own, little table.
