I used it for a month and I then let my students use it for a month. Here are our collective thoughts. The structure is not up to par. The mini metal bar used to clamp it to a table top does not work.

I constantly fell off and did not hold the sharpener in place at all. The students struggled with this. I also think instructions should be included in the packaging so we don't have to go to the website to make sure we've attached everything correctly.
The design of the pencils sharpener is nice and small which is good for a classroom setting as it does not take up much space. We didn't mind having to pinch the black knobs at the top and pull out the metal piece attached and then slide the pencil in, however once you put the pencil in, the pencil had a difficult time staying in place. When it did stay in place, the students loved watching the metal piece and the pencil slide back towards the base of the sharpener allowing the kids to know when the pencil was fully sharpened. That was a great concept and we all liked the idea.
The pencils were pretty sharp when it did sharpen correctly and I think that if they work out a few kinks this will be a great classroom product.
