What is your opinion of the quality of this item? I can answer that after a few months of use. I looked at kid's pens because I wanted a light pen with a fat barrel -- thin and/or heavy pens are painful to grip with an arthritic thumb joint. It was designed for kids and I think people with my joint pain would like it too! It is what I hoped for, that is, a light grip that can still lay down the ink. Yes, but time will tell. I can answer that after a few months of use.
