For my classroom purposes, it's fine. My warnings, however, are that the board may be too high up for a three year old. Also, the surface of the board is a bit delicate. Get water, juice, even the oils from your fingers on it, and you will have problems getting it completely clean. I guess my answer is "Look elsewhere".

Absolutely. I've had mine for almost that long and it's stood up through me carrying it around and banging it up a ton. I like it a lot.

This is a good board! My sister is 15 but the kids in the nieghborhood(ages ranging from 7-11) ride it also. Riding a board requires balance so i would recommend getting a helmet and pads if he can't get the hang of being on a board at first.

Its actually really durable..id recommend a Black & White Acrylic Display Board if u need to but will be fine without... just keep surface dust free ..and if anything you can use photoshop to fix any blemishes.. or aperture--zoom settings to blur out... background too.. hope this helps

With practice I would recommend it to anyone age 10 and up. Once you get the basics down it is easily rideable. The board is in fully operable condition with few scratch marked due to normal use.

I bought one for my 10 year old. I am about your size, and don't think I would trust it. With the length of the board, it has a lot of flex to the board when I start to step on it. Note that my tendancy is to fall off the things, so I don't know how long it would actually hold up.

I bought it for my 12 year old, she said the wheels were not very good. For a smaller child I think it would be fine because the wheels don't turn super fast. For an older, or heavier child, I would go with something with better wheels. The board itself is nice though.

It is like contact paper. It would work with children any age. I do not know how safe dry erase markers are.

i was played with it 5 days per week during the last 6 months, only minor flaws on the rubber (comes from hits with the table). If you clean it after each play and with a good storage bag, it may last for years.

The dry erase board is just like any office whiteboard + magnetic. The chalkboard works well with the included chalk and eraser. I have not noticed any wobbling but you need to make sure the legs are adjusted to equal height at all 4 adjustments points. There are guides on the whiteboard side that help with that.

Mine have lasted a year so far. It is because it is only used a few seconds at a time with a pressure switch as opposed to a slide switch. It works really well for color pencil art. It allows for a very light touch.

Yes.I think it is way too big for a five-year-old. It is a big hit with my son whose average size and nine years old. But I suspect he'll be able to use the board for at least three years.

The string isn't exceptionally long, but there is definitely enough string to maneuver the pen around the entire board. It hasn't been an issue for my three year old. We have had more of an issue with the picture not fully erasing.

My granddaughter has had hers for a year and 4 months. It is in good condition. My daughter had to save it from abuse by a one year old for several months. My grandson wanted to climb on it. Lol

It is similar; however, I believe you will experience "ghosting" on this board. I would do a little research and buy the board designed for dry markers. It will probably save you a headache in the long run.

It works well. It works really well as long as the chalkboard is clean. When you shake it and press down the tip the ink comes out fluidly and makes writing on a chalkboard really easy. This pen writes really clearly too, straight and crisp, no smears. HOWEVER, when you wipe it off with a rag, it MUST BE DRY. If the liquid is not dry then it will smear horribly. So if you plan on teaching or something with it, where you erase often without time between, I'd reconsider. Instead get one of those pen holder things that hold chalk and make it like writing with a pen.

It doesn't flip back and forth once constructed. You might be able to put the piece on "backwards" when building it. I actually bought another dry erase board and pasted it on the back.
