Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel

The product is well made. I sent it to my granddaughter in Bracknell—unfortunately the blackboard side of the easel is full of marks—look like watermarks. They are quite obvious.

Le encantó a mi hijo! Le compramos aparte del caballete de M&D, el paquete de M&D de pinturas, pinceles, rollo de papel para pintar, etc y encantado! Le sirve mucho para expresarse y para este nuevo Home School ! Ya conocíamos la calidad de esta marca, y de este producto les puedo decir que está excelentemente hecho, es de madera y con detalles muy lindos, los armables de plástico son de muy buena calidad también.

Excellent quality and easy to assemble. The paper roller feature is the shizzle.

This was really easy to assemble and it’s clever how we can attach the paper roll into middle support bar. Haven’t tried the chalkboard side yet, but we are generally ok with cleanups for the whiteboard end (using Crayola washables). It is easy to stain the wood, as what other reviewers state, which is a shame. But otherwise all good and the kids love it

There is not a day that gos by that my niece Aniya doesn't use this easel. Whether its drawing on the whiteboard with markers, practicing her alphabet and numbers on her chalk board, drawing pictures of the family or creating the next Picasso, Aniya uses her easel to the fullest. I have to say that this is one of the absolute best things you could get for a child. They are able to express themselves artistically in a number of different ways, plus as a bonus you can also use the easel for education purposes. This makes it even easier to teach, as the child has already associated the easel with fun and games. I purchased this easel for my niece last Christmas and she is still using it! How many toys do you buy your child, only to have them stop playing with it? I guarantee that won't happen with this purchase and that you will get your moneys worth; I know I did. Aniya's mom was able to put together the easel with no problem what so ever, this says a lot as the women in my family eventually come to me so I can put together the items they purchased. The brushes the easel comes with are easy for a child to grip and the paint is of high quality. Although the selection of paint is limited you can teach your child how to mix colors to produce another. There are also separate paint sets that can be purchased as well. A mess is something to expect with an easel. As you teach your child how to paint properly and mess free you will have less and less to clean up. Make sure you purchase an apron and a floor mat for your child, as they will certainly make some sort of mess on themselves and on the floor. I only wish I had gotten one of these when I was a kid, I would have had so much fun with my mom. Here is a recap of what the easel comes with * Dry erase board - For dry erase markers * Fold nice and neat to store in the corner or under a bed, easy-clean storage -It gets used so much that it never gets folded unless we are cleaning up, but it is easy to do so anyway. * Comes with the accessories needed to help turn your child into the next Van Gogh * Includes chalkboard, a locking paper roll holder, a child-safe paper cutter, 4 clips and a plastic tray -This should last for about a month or two, depending on use. Remember to purchase refills ahead of time so you won't disrupt your child's fun. * Amazon Frustration-Free packaging - so simple that anyone can unpack it. * Exceptional quality and value -So true, this easel has the ability to withstand a beating. Even with daily use its still in mint-condition. * Features double sided chalk and dry erase-boards - Great for versatility, kids get bored sometimes when doing the same thing over and over. This adds versatility to their routine and allows them access to different mediums of workspace. * Height adjustable - Translation: Can be used by any child, making the easel itself easy to use for any age or size. * Includes a locking paper roll holder, a child-safe paper cutter, four clips and a plastic tray. Easy-clean storage - I have yet to see the rolls of paper fall. The trays themselves are indeed easy to clean.

My kids love this easel! Got it for them for Christmas and it’s great. Easy to put together and very durable. Now if only there was a solution to paint spills on my floor LOL
