My 8 year old asked for this for Christmas and santa saw fit to bring it to her. I thought it would go into a pile of plastic broken toys by December 30th but to my surprise she really loved it. It was pretty well made and has held up to this day which is 8 months after christmas. She took a long time coloring in the gems and was very proud when it was done. It's a great buy for that age group. I ordered one for my niece and she loved it too.
