Melissa & Doug Deluxe Wooden Art Easel for Kids with Dry-Erase Board, Chalkboard & Drawing Paper Roller, Folding Double-Sided Toddler Easel, Preschool Learning Toys for Girls & Boys Ages 3+

Assembly is okay, it comes with all sorts you need (thank god) and the instructions are easy enough to understand. Set up took about 45ish minutes? And the height of the white/chalk board is adjustable for smaller kids (our son is 3 but was a preemie so he’s always been on the smaller side) pics showing him using the chalk board. Rona of accessories for each side. Material isn’t like old chalk boards, moreso like if you got “chalkboard paint” for the wall and used it. Erases clean, when it gets dusty just take a paper towel with water to it and let it dry and it’s good as new. Can switch between sides with ease for creative flow. UNFORTUNATELY, the paper does NOT cover the entire width of the chalkboard so if you have ASD kids (like mine) or kids that struggle with keeping their supplies in the appropriate area, put something underneath on either side or find some way to block those areas off or they will get paint on them. Paint comes in 4 colors, 4 corresponding brushes and “spill proof) containers. Both sides have a “storage rack” for when using which is nice, but not a “storage for when not using” so kids like mine don’t go grabbing it and losing it so we’re just hiding the pieces when he’s not using it and he has to ask for them. Overall, I’d give this a 9.5/10. We got the art kit bundle with this (chalk, paper, paints etc that don’t come WITH the easel) so it’s a pretty penny, but it’s made well and for the price you do get a large amount to use from. I just wish the paper covered the whiteboard side and it had a storage option to keep the pieces from being lost long term. Son loves it, he asked me to include all the colorful suns we drew in chalk :) **it says it can be folded for easy storage but ours doesn’t seem to wanna do that 😅 it looks like it CAN but idk that’s probably user error.

Good quality. My family is highly sentivie to v.o.c but we don't feel sick to melisa and doug product!

This easel is wonderful! We got this for our son's birthday, and it is everything we want in an easel. I like how one side is a dry erase board and the other side is a chalk board. The trays are a nice touch, and the side with the dry erase board has a tray where you can put paint containers. The only down side is that the spaces for the containers are made specifically for the four Melissa & Doug paint containers, and you can't really fit much more. In the middle of the easel is a rod where you can add a roll of paper to drape over the top of the easel and clip it to the side so that your child can paint. The easel comes with four removable clips, which is another down-side because my son constantly takes these clips and loses them. At the moment, I have absolutely no idea where they are. When I find them, I put them back on the easel, but then the second I turn my back, he takes them off again. I think it would be better if there were clips attached to the board, like the way a clipboard works. The chalkboard is neat... it's made out of a different material than a classroom chalkboard, so if you're like me and don't like the way a chalkboard feels or sounds, then you'll like this one! It's more of like a plastic... hard to explain, but it erases nicely, and if there is chalk residue on it, you can easily wipe it clean. This easel is well-made and sturdy. I like how your child has a choice between markers, chalk, or paint, and that you can have two kids working on it at once. This has not let me down yet!! Worth every penny.

Loved this art easel for my almost 3 year old. It was pretty easy to assemble as well. Loved that it had the tray shelves. Great item and price.

This is a well designed, sturdy, attractive easel, and will give my granddaughter years of creative fun. It’s easy to assemble, especially if you read the instructions first, and then pay close attention to the pictures. I would have given it 5 stars, but there are some issues on the production end. The hinges are a little flimsy, and bend very easily, so be careful not to let them twist during assembly. The countersunk holes for the long screws weren’t deep enough for the long screws so I had to use a wood chisel to carve them deeper (also, 2 of the long screws were missing). Some of the bolt caps were stripped and wouldn’t tighten, and two of them were cracked and broke apart when I put them on. The good news is that I called Melissa & Doug’s 800 number and they’re sending replacement parts for free (I did have to provide photos of the parts, and the labels on the delivery box). Kind of a pain in the neck, but I’ve learned, over the years, that sometimes diy assembly goes perfectly and sometimes issues occur on the production and packaging end. Once assembled it’s great. Just be prepared for those countersink holes. I’ve read on other reviews that I’m not the only one who had a problem with them.

Viene tal cual se anuncia y creo que incluso mejor en persona que como se aprecia en las fotos, de verdad es muy bello, de muy buena calidad y super completo , en mi caso fue un regalo para mis sobrinos y están encantados !!!

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

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.

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

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
