My neighbor put one together for her granddaughter who wanted to learn to hand quilt. They have adjusted it through the years. She's twelve and does very well. She's been doing it since 8 years old and has made 3 crib size. She's gotten to where she sets the frame up herself. She can make it lap if she wants. She often goes to guild with her grandma and a couple other young girls are there. they have their own little section where they work on their projects. I think it's the best thing for these youngsters.
