Solid construction. I like that it's reversable, especially since both felt colors look good with the color of the wood frame. The easel seems sturdy, and holds the frame well. Lots of letters! A blessing and a curse, haha. I'm sure it'll be great to have such a large selection (comes with both large and small letters, LOTS of vowels), but my back didn't enjoy the sorting process. Worth it though! Using it in my cubicle at work, hoping people get joy out of writing silly messages.Another thing, See full review
