The easel was fine and the board was fine but together we found that wooden pieces slid off (too light?) the board when using anything steeper than the first slot, which is useless because the board is essentially flat! We adapted the easel so that we could use it at slot 1.5!!!! We also found that as the wooden jigsaw was nearing completion the whole piece slid down the board almost slipping over the lip if we weren't paying attention. (Bit heavy?). Also, it didn't work well when we turned the board by 90 degrees into portrait format. It had a tendency to tip as it was top heavy! However, using table cloth clips sorted that out. So all in all, not perfect, and quite expensive for an imperfect setup. Hence the rating.
