I bought this for my 8 year old when it went on sale for $[...] just before Christmas. I figured I didn't have much to lose, he mentioned he would like a skateboard but had never really used one and if it only held up for a short time, at least he would be able to try it out. Was I wrong. This skateboard is very durable, my 12 year old and his friends have been using it more than my 8 year old. It has had no problem supporting their weight and it glides smoothly all over my house as well as outdoors. We have had no problems whatsoever with it and I wouldn't hesitate to tell people to save your $ and buy this instead if your kid thinks he/she wants a skateboard. 5 stars

I bought this for my 8-yr old as a chore reward. (his older brother is into skating and he wanted one too) He was thrilled when he saw it...the picture is really cool! He hasn't put it to much use, but it seems to be comparable to the more expensive board I bought my oldest son. Overall great value!! 4 stars

Great for the price paid. Kid loves this Sqarepants products. 5 stars

This is a great starter board for the price. My son has really enjoyed using it and the price was unbeatable. Seems to be holding up well and it serves the purpose for a beginner. 4 stars

This was a really cute item. I purchased it for an 11 year old boy and he loved it. Said it was his favorite present so far. The price was 1/3 of retail. It has been in the sand dunes, wet pavement, you name it and it is holding up well. Great fun for someone who wants a beginner board. 4 stars
