Why I Should Test/Review Products Before Production #1:This product, despite the cover is NOT made for children BECAUSE, quite plainly, it is too smart for most people under the age of 12. As a school teacher, I would know.
Specifically, this product is NOT a wise purchase for a child BECAUSE:
1) It puts dry-erase markers right next to regular markers, so they are easily confused.
2) The dry-erase board doubles as a normal easel, so a ruined board ruins the entire stand, it's entire appeal.
3) It IS portable, but in order to be so portable, the clever design is too complicated for children to get used to or use properly; it takes an elaborate unfolding & refolding process to even set it up or take it down.
4) The markers/pencils are SMALL and will not fit unless placed precisely, so a child will not place them back neatly, thus destroying its portability.
5) The markers/pencils are an NON-STANDARD SIZE, so even if said "child" is smart enough not to ruin it in the first 30 minutes, the markers/pencils will run out and be irreplaceable.
All that to say, I understand why it was marked down to $11 at my local Office Max and is awesome for a thrifty gal like me. ;D
