This went to my five year old daughter who likes to draw. The material is vinyl wrapped around cardboard, similar to what most school folders or "trapper keeper" style folders are made from. It does fold up nicely and set up and take down is something she can handle. If she takes care of it, it should last quite a while, but it isn't a bullet proof build by any means and I would say is just average for build quaility. It is a nice set up though and not much bigger then a standard binder type folder.
It includes a small dry board, several sheets of paper, dry board crayons, dry board erase mit, and fine tip (NON dry board markers). The easel has pockets to store the crayons, eraser, and markers. The idea is you use the crayons with the dry board (white side and black sided) and the markers with the paper. You cannot use the markers with the dry board. She is five, we talked about it several times, and she understands for now. That being said I am fully prepared for the day she forgets the talk we had and becomes distraught after ruining the dry erase board. Such is life with a kindergartner, but maybe making them dry erase markers might have been a better way to go. The only other thing is the erase mit works OK, but like most dry erase boards you can never seems to get it all off, and despite the fact that 99% of it came off very easily, that last 1% resists all efforts to scrub, scrape, and remove it.
She does like it, uses it, and it is a good fit for our needs and her age. She was very excited when she received it and I know it will be something she uses going forward.
