My granddaughter loves this standing easel. She writes on it all the time and it is fun for her to learn new words. The product is very sturdy. It was a great purchase.

This was a gift for my son's birthday. He loves it, but it does not come with any supplies. His aunt sent easel paper also, but I still had to order the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Easel Companion Set.
Not only has he received other Melissa & Doug gifts, but I've purchased a lot of their toys. For the most part, they are fun & inspire creativity. However, although I was very careful with the pieces, the wood chipped and/or flaked in several places. Luckily my son is old enough to avoid splinters, and my dogs don't chew on things, or it would be a problem.
The assembly took me about 45 minutes by myself. It was kind of hard to attach the two boards - I would recommend having someone else nearby to help with a few steps, and to save time.
Overall, this a fantastic easel. I think the size, and the different holders promote imagination & organization. My son feels like "a real artist" now.
P.S. priming the chalkboard means rubbing chalk all over and then erasing it...it helps to read the instructions

Just look at those beautiful and colorful knobs! The easel is incredibly sturdy (if the child doesn't try to take it apart). But no matter how hard you tighten those colorful knobs, a little boy with mechanical aptitude will be able to take them off. They were too much for my son to resist, so he basically took the thing apart several times. One time it almost came crashing down upon him. You'd think he'd learn! But I think the thrill of taking it apart far exceeded the risk of having it crash down on him. So if you have a child that you think can resist dismantling this "toy", by all means buy it. My son is 3. Maybe the age recommendation should be 4+ or 5+.

I wanted an easel that my 18 month old could grow with. This easel is short enough for him, but can be adjusted as he grows. So far, we love it.

Like all Doug & Melissa toys, this is another high quality item. Well built, sturdy construction and very easy to assemble. Unlike some plastic models, this one is really stable and difficult to tip over. Love the three adjustable height options. Low enough for my 2 year old granddaughter to use now, and it will be years before she outgrows it. We did not experience any problems with the chalk showing up on the chalkboard like a few users did, but we used crayola sidewalk chalk. The trays are nice and deep to hold lots of chalk and crayons, but don't stick out so far as to interfere with the child using the board. Also love that all of the screw ends are covered with plastic covers to prevent injuries.
