I love the easel. One side is chalkboard and one is dry erase board. There is a tray in between the two boards, and a nice one at the bottom of each to hold chalk or dry erase materials. I am using dry erase crayons and washable markers instead of dry erase markers as our 15 month old likes to draw on the wall and dry erase markers aren't washable off other surfaces. I ordered two easels, one for our granddaughters' home and one for our home. I like the Melissa and David one better. It is a perfect size for our 15 month old and 4 year old. The letters and numbers are not being used right now as the children are both young, but it won't be long. The letters and numbers are small, maybe could be a little bigger."..."Read more
Wow! What a great easel for our four and two year olds! We love the color, durability and craftsmanship, and the kids love that they can paint, draw and chalk! It's great to have the storage shelf on the bottom for our extra art supplies and the espresso color looks great in our family room! It was very easy to put together [...]"..."Read more
This art desk is very strong and sturdy. I bought it for my 3 year old who wanted a desk like her older brother and sister. This was a great compromise and she loves it. Just right for her size. Best age range is probably 2 through a small 5. It arrived very quickly-I ordered late Friday and it was delivered by the following Friday. It took less than 30 minutes to assemble and that included getting everything out of the box."..."Read more
I was pleasantly surprised with this Art center and easel. At first I thought it would be too small for my kids, but its perfect. Infact I can see it being used for years to come! My 3 and 4 year old daughters are in love with it! The construction is wood and sturdy, lots of space in the middle and the holder cups are huge! VERY glad we purchesed this unit!"..."Read more
