There's no better way to inspire your artist! Generously sized chalk board and dry erase boards are perfect for projects large and small. Easel folds ups easily for convenient storage and features a colorful paint tray with cup holders. Has an easy loading paper roll holder and an extra large tray for holding erasers, chalk and clips. Paper cutting edge at top of easel means clean paper cuts for your artist's work! 4 large clips included. Easy load paper and paint cups not included.

Summary: Deluxe standing easel
Comment: The easel arrived quickly and was a Christmas present for 3 yr. olds. They love it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Fun for the little ones..
Comment: My boys ages 2 and 5 love this easel. They have played with it for hours every day since Christmas! I don't like the mess but I suppose it comes with the territory and it's worth the free time I get while they're being creative. Very durable. One thing I didn't like is that the chalk board is not smooth and needs to be washed often because the chalk tends to coat it even after you erase, they just don't make chalk boards like they used to.

Summary: Fantastic - Built well, grows with child - can't go wrong!
Comment: This is a fantastic piece of furniture. It is so easy to put together - I did it myself and I'm notoriously terrible at putting things together like this. But it was very easy. I was a tad concerned at the beginning of putting it together because it looked like the chalkboard and white boards were a little warped - but it fit together just fine and looks fabulous and perfectly straight. I love the fact that the surfaces and the trays are height adjustable as my child grows. That was a major factor in the decision to buy this one. It doesn't take up too much space and is a fantastic buy.
We were looking at a more expensive one also - but it didn't have the adjustable height and since our child is only 2 1/2 I wanted one that he will be able to use for years to come. The other one was also much bulkier looking and would have taken up more space. This fits the bill. I do recommend getting the accessories for this so you can have the paint cups, paper roll, etc... The paint cups have covers which is nice to keep paint for a bit between paint sessions.
But this - it is worth it and your child will love it!

Summary: Melissa & Doug toys rock!
Comment: This easel is awesome. Study, well thought out,and will grow with the child. It was purchased for a 2 1/2 year old and was a big hit. Paper roll is at the ready, chalkboard was easy to use (I had read older reviews that said it was hard to write on so I was ready with chalkboard paint...but that problem has been solved!) The big clips are great for hanging up wet paintings, the trays are perfect for the accessories. Melissa and Doug Deluxe Standing Easel

Summary: Deluxe should mean complete and ready to go
Comment: The overall concept of product is very good,but how do you teach a child which side is only for chalk and not dry erase and vise versa? I can see these getting mixed up and potential ruined if not completely supervised at all times. I thought upon ordering this product that it came with a small amount of product for children to play with e.g. chalk,paint, marker,etc. since it said "DELUXE" Standing Easel. It never was clear at any point that had to purchase paper,chalk, paint, etc. seperately !! I was lucky I had the forsight to order just 1 kit of chalk, etc. that I thought would be EXTRA items for the grandchildren to share with the other grandchildren out of state who were visiting for Christmas. Otherwise we would have had the 5 grandchildren who were so excited about their standing easels and all they could do and NOTHING to do on it. We ordered 2 of these one for each family and neither time was it apparent that nothing came with the easels. I hope you will correct this and include a small amount of product with the "DELUXE Easel so it is ALL INCLUSIVE and ready for eager little hands and excited parents and grandparents to play together right away!!! Now I have to reorder or go to the stores and buy the products seperately and cost more.. It is not easy to find rolls of paper and yet sure would have been nice to have had so we could thoroughly enjoy the product.
On a brighter note since I bought a small amount of product to share anyway with all the grandchildren they ALL had a GREAT time and parents alike helping their kids. It will be a product that continues to be helpful and grow with the grandchildren imaginations.
I hope you will take this review VERY seriously and reconsider how it is packaged and presented so others will not be disappointed. Also please include instructions how to put together,my husband is very handy with putting things together so not much of hiccup for him,but I'm not so sure others would be able to put together before giving up because of so many pieces.
Thanks for the opportunity for me to let you know about the products misinformation and less than ideal packaged as it is!! I would like to order other items but I'm leery now as to what I would get and really hate to be disappointed again.
