I bought this for my 4 1/2 year old who is learning math skills at his preschool. He is starting to learn basic addition and this gives him a visual cue for those hard to learn numbers (those where you run out of fingers to use!). I also hope that once he starts Kindergarten in the fall it will be just as useful for other math functions as well. The product is made of sturdy construction, as you would expect from a Melissa and Doug product. The beads slide easily and the product is easy to use.
Awesome Product

I purchased this product for my 6 yr old son to help him in math. He really enjoys using the abacus. He is even more excited about math now. We've used it for only a couple of days and he is firmly grasping basic mathematical concepts.

This abacus is a very good quality object, easy to handle for little hands and the right size for them. The wooden beads are comfortable and look high quality. I liked the fact that the front cover gives us multiple ways to use it. A very useful calculator for those starting learning their additions and subtractions as well as multiplications.
Abacus was super!

In spite of its simplicity, it took a while before I could find an abacus. This one is not only great in quality, but it was also the best deal available for this specific article, online or offline.
All I can say is that the item withstood unscathed a day of show-and-tell at kindergarten - not an easy feat.
