Sturdiness I was wondering if anyone knows how sturdy the flap that folds down is. Is it sturdy enough for kids to actually draw on when opened down?

I think that some kids might be able to draw on it, but it didn't work for my son, who wanted to be able to lean on the surface.

My granddaughter writes & colors on hers. It doesn't tear her paper when she does write on it. The padding is not thin though. If you set a glass on it it will fall over.

YES! It's held up really well. We are going to be able to use it again. My daughter had it in for two months. Still very pleased :)

It's pretty sturdy, we loaded it up with lots of stuffed animals, big and small. I don't think it will rip easily. The main thing is we tell the kids not to hang on it or it might pull out of the wall.

Yes, it folds neatly and easily for quick storage. It is quite sturdy when in use. The kiddos will enjoy it!

I am not positive we have since thrown this away. My son is pretty rough on his folders and the plastic tore. It is a heavey plastic so i was worried he would get cut on it. Sorry we couldn't help. It was a little taller than standard papers. His papers all fit inside without being seen over the top though.

Hello, sorry for the delay of the answer.The backpack is sturdy and the bottom too, it doesn't collapse when it's loaded. It's a very good bag for books and my daughter is very happy.

2 boys of mine r using the easel, it survived quite a lot of banging & drawing. It's still very firm after 5 months of usage.

It's sturdy... But here in AZ the only rain we get is monsoons and it wouldn't last thru that. Light rain/wind would be okay. But it folds really easily so when you're done using it you could just fold it and lean it against a wall.... Would be fine like that.

I wouldn't call it thick, but I would not call if flimsy either. We've had ours since the beginning of May and it's held up quite nicely. And my kids can be a bit rough and tumble when they are playing with it! They love it and I'm pleased.

It's fairly sturdy, but my kids like to climb in and out the windows which will pull it down. The material isn't heavy so no one has gotten hurt

Not really sure of your question... if you mean are they heavy duty enough to draw around the letter, then yes, they are pretty sturdy. My daughter was going to use them to draw/trace letters onto material.... Good luck

I just fold the flaps back and when I'm done, they fold right on back to it's original place and the magnet snaps them closed. I've been doing this since I've had it and there's really no "wear or tear" to the outside from folding back and forth either.

the draws are not durable.. they are just cloth. this is a very unstable desk. i only kept it because its so small and fit perfect in the place i wanted. if your taller than 5 feet.. don't get this desk. its for a toddler.

It is a flexible plastic (think like a floppy plastic 3 ring binder), not likely to tear but if pulled hard, it might weaken in some areas.I think it could withstand use by a child of that age.

It is sturdy enough, but the sides don't stand straight up. The way my daughter's carseat is built/positioned...or maybe how I connected it, the crayons would slide down into her seat easily. I think it was a good purchase.

My kids love ours. It is kinda of difficult for anyone under ten, so parent may need to assist. It's not cheap plastic. I was happy with the purchase. You can buy string from a craft store, too, just fyi :)
