How durable are the pages? My daughter is really rough on books and I'd hate for her to destroy this.

Its very durable. The material is very thick and hard plastic, and even the buttons are just responsive enough. My 3 rough boys, all under 5, have 'read' this And fooled around with it many a time, and still it is working like new. We have had it for a few months now and i expect it'l be around for at least a few months longer.

The pages are pretty durable. But I wouldn't buy this, as mine stopped working and unless you buy it from Vtech you have to pay to send it back to them...more money out of your pocket to get a replacement that isn't guaranteed to work for longer than a couple of weeks from my experience. So now it's like a plastic hard book.

The pages are very durable. My Grandson is 2 years old and pretty rough on things too. His Touch and Teach Word Book is in pristine condition after several months of use. This is a great learning tool and my Grandson loves it.

No the pages are all attached but very strong. If you rip one there is nothing you can do. I own 6 of these and have never ripped the pages.

yes! it's just heavy so handle carefuly: not fragile book but don't toss or open-close roughly. mine opens each page all the way to the last.

From our experience I would have to say yes. I mean I think with all tablets you have to be careful because they all have the screen that can crack. We have iPads & I am pleased with the thick case the Nabi comes with. My son is 6 so he's pretty rough lol. His tablet has been dropped many times with no damage. The screen got cracked from something dropping right onto the screen but I had the screen replaced. So yes I believe it's durable from our experience.

There is probably an official weight limit from the manufacturer if you check. From my personal experience, I have used them in two homes over 10 years, I have not seen any damage to any of the books. Currently using them in a wall display around large flat screen, with 5-6 books and a statue/vase on top. I get loads of complements and questions. "How are those books hanging on the wall?"

Absolutely !! We have it all over our house, living room, bedroom, it's so great... My daughter loves to read in it. They drop it on the floor, put a blanket in it if they don't want to sit on hardwood floors.

I want to use these benches at a school reading garden are they durable enough to withstand children and being outside all the time

Yes, this would be great! I got it to go as low as 25 inches from the floor to the bottom of the top piece where she would put her book. And as she gets bigger, I got it to go as high as 45 inches so she would be able to use it forever!I just read the other comment and I agree, it's very well made. Very sturdy. And when you adjust it to a certain height, it stays there! No moving! I even think it would go low enough for 4 and 5 year olds. It goes down pretty low!

I honestly haven't put a ton of weight on them. I have all kids books loaded in one of the small baskets on the upper shelf, but the second small basket just has toys in it, as well as the big basket on the bottom. They can probably hold a good bit of weight. I don't think I would have trouble if it were all books.

It's possible to rip the pages out, but there are no perforated edges, and so it's not going to be a clean tear. So I'd recommend looking for another notebook if you want to rip out pages.This is a solid notebook that I use in my lab all the time, and they don't fall apart easily, which then leads to hard to tear out pages.

Yes, it will withstand rough play. My daughter has had hers for over a year now and still no issues with the kitchen. Melissa and Doug products are a good use of money. I do not think you will be disappointed.

Hi, I would say fairly durable. We've had two for about a year now and we use them as goals, and have had no problems. However, my kids are young 9 ,7, 7. So they do pretty limited damage. But for us they have been perfect.

It seems pretty sturdy. We haven't had any problems with it at all. The longer we have had it, the better I like it. We have had stacks of books ad a laptop on it and have not had any problems.

Very durable.My granddaughter is 9, using it constantly. Loves it and in my opinion durability is not an issue.

Yes it is durable enough, however i wouldn't recommend it because the fabric will start to tear away from the middle, from the children pulling at all angles.

I don't think these are sturdy enough for books. I have handbags stored on mine and they get very wobbly with too much weight. If your 4 and 5 year olds are like my nephews, they'll have lots of books. Better to go for something sturdier. I think you'll have more flexibililty.

If your child is not destructive it will last them. I got this for my 7yr old she loved it at first. Better for younger children. She lost interest fast.
