We bought ours years ago for our #2 son...it was an instant hit.  As a result, it never got "put away" rather, it earned it's place in our child's section of the bookcase.
As our #3 grew, so did his interest in the writing desk.  As the toy was still in tip top shape there was no need to purchase a new one.  We were thrilled that a toy that had been the subject of so much use was still in such "new-like" condition.  He constantly plays with it.  I am amazed that two completely different personalities can be so engaged with the same toy.  Our boys are constantly trying to spell words they already know and even make up new ones.
A great toy for reinforcing knowledge and self-esteem.
The many features of this toy, it's educational value, durability, and overall...interest keeping power make the Phonics Writing Desk well worth the money.
