My husband got me one for a gift. While it seems like a good idea in theory, it's really pretty rickety and yu can barely touch it as you put your designs on or you'll knock it over. Also, you have to put it somewhere where you knot only have room for the front, but also the legs that hold it up out the back. I have mine actually mounted on a wall, which unfortunately is a lot more expense for a design wall than if I'd just started out making one for the wall.
