Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Art Easel - Dry-Erase Board, Chalkboard, Paper Roller - FSC Certified

Wonderful always good ! Made well too

I bought this at the request and idea from my daughter for my granddaughter. I didn't want to walk in with a toy in a box, therefore, I partially put together just to fit in the car and once at my granddaughter's house was able to quickly finish assembly for her to play and see it immediately. Thank you for creating something that makes this possible.

This is the cutest little easel you can find. It's the ideal size for a 4 to 9 year old (our daughter is a tall 6.5 year old and she's got some room to grow on the highest setting). It's sturdy without being too hefty or unwieldy, and it folds up flat enough to make sliding under a bed or slipping into a nook pretty easy. Assembly was also a relative cinch. Everything you need comes in the package -- and it took my daughter and I less than 20 minutes to put together. The brightly colored "bolts" are such a nice touch. The chalk- and white boards are pretty high quality and don't seem like the type that will gather grit and sludge from repeated use. Thorough cleanings are also pretty straightforward. The trays are pretty large and should be able to hold any arty items your kids might need. One note, they don't have covers so you'll need to unpack them after each use as items might fall out while folding and storing. Opening and closing will require some adult assistance as it is a bigger easel and securing the latch (to make sure it's tight and in the right position) will need dexterity that young children might not yet have. As mentioned, it's sturdy and the wood seems decent, but it's not so tough as to be able to take a pounding or withstand being knocked over so making sure it's stored away makes sense. In terms of use, our daughter absolutely loves using it -- and it's already come in handy for drawing, playing games, handwriting ... and it's miraculous how much more fun it is for her to paint larger pieces. It's almost a must have for early learns and those into painting.

Love it. Had an older one as a hand me down from a friend, but with twin 5 yr old boys who both loved using it we needed another to avoid fighting. Easy to put together and easier still for the kids to use independently if they want to.
