This easel is easy to put together and it is sturdy. I purchased this easel for my 4 year old as a gift, knowing that her 8 year old sister would also want to use it. The variable height feature is a big plus. I love that it is able to be used with 3 different types of materials (to start with), chalk, dry erase, and paint. I would recommend this easel to others.
I love the fact that it has 3 height settings and can be adjusted as my daughter gets older. I looked at a lot of websites for the best easels, and this easel from Melissa & Doug always came up #1, so I decided to get it for my 4 year old daughter. I also highly recommend the easel companion set that comes with paint, spill-proof paint jars (which is a big plus), paint brushes, chalk, dry erase marker, and eraser. She has used it every day since we bought it. I think they must have fixed the chalkboard problem since most of the other reviewers comments, because chalk writes fine on this one. My only complaint is about the eraser, it doesn't really erase the marker completely and I have to use a wet paper towel to completely clean the dry erase board (not a big deal). I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for an easel for their child.
I gave this as a gift to my twin three year old nephews last Christmas. The product is sturdy and attractive and they enjoy playing with it.
My grandson loves the easel and paints on it daily. The difficult part of this product was putting it together. It is a fantastic size, we have it in our garage so he will not have any accidents with the paint. Thankfully my husband was available to put it together for our grandson. There were so many parts I did not have the time or patience. I recommend the easel as long as someone who has the time to put it together is available. Well worth the money.
We have many Melissa & Doug's wooden products: puzzles, castles, stoves etc. and yet this one does not seem to be made with the same quality of wood. We found it to be a bit flimsy compared to our previous art easel. I am a big fan of the Melissa and Doug productsbut this is the first one I found disappointing.
