I have a small four season porch that is dedicated to a play/tv room. I wanted something that I could put up out of the way when I wanted to watch TV but then could put down when the grandkids come over. This works perfectly! There is a lot more storage in it than I had envisioned. I am able to put coloring books, markers, crayons, paper, scissors, glue, and colored pencils. Oh - cannot forget the chalk. They have written on it with both regular chalk and the liquid chalk. It was not to hard to put together. Definitely need two people to get it mounted onto the wall. It does sit a little lower on the wall than I had anticipated, but that is not a problem. I would recommend this unit.
