The Flip and Doodle Easel Desk was very easy to assemble but there were a few flaws in it. The Step 2 symbol on the red marker tray was upside down and the white dry erase board was scratched. But, my daughter loves playing with it.

My 4 1/2 yr old has this and it is the best ever! We debated over the larger step 2 art desk, but this is perfect (and cheaper to boot). It is not too big, very durable plastic. There are no hinges to break..the easel has plastic knobs that rotate in a groove. Only a few screws for assembly. The dry erase board only requires a tissue for erasing, and is MAGNETIC! Lots of storage space and a place for books in back. The easel tilts downward when flat, but there are grooves for the pens/markers to sit in so they don't roll (i think it tilts for ease of the child to see their work). I definitely recommend for anyone! And my 4 yr old will be able to use for quite some time. The stool is sturdy as well.
