We use the magnetic chalkboard side for homeschooling. The white board keeps the 2 year old happy. The boards are just the right size being longer in length than our previous board (which is over 50 years old!). I can sit down next to it while writing on it and it is at just the right level for my grandson. He loves it, too! Your advertising with an adult standing next to it while a child used it helped me to see that it would work for schooling. It wouldn't be too low for me or too small. The easel is not at all wobbly but very sturdy and well built. I highly recommend this easel to parents and grandparents, like me! Thank you!!
