Kathy Paulsen: Missing 3 pieces. The colored plastic nuts for keeping thee pieces together. Had to find others. Not so bad if it was for personal use, but it was a gift.......

nathalie: Beau produit, tableau blanc de qualité, chevalet stable…une seule petite déception le tableau blanc n’est pas magnétique mais c’est de ma faute j’ai déduit qu’il était magnétique sans avoir lu la description. Ma petite fille l’adore. Ma petite fille dessine sur le tableau blanc avec des feutres crayola et cela se nettoie merveilleusement bien!11

Amazon Customer: This would be the best gift for a creative little person.
Very sturdy, Good quality, super cute, has great spaces to store art supplies and adjustable in height for smaller people (my son is 3’ tall) to older artists (3-9 years old)
Get the Melissa and Doug easel kit, it has everything you need with reusable bits. The extra kit you can buy has all the coloured containers to hold the paint, coloured coded paint brushes so they don’t mix up the colours, paint, a large roll of paper, chalk and eraser and dry erase marker.
It was ok to put together on my own, a had to back up a step to get it right and would be easier with two adults working on it.
Make sure the screws are tight and the kids won’t be able to loosen them.
My ONLY complaint is my chalk board is not chalk board paint but a matte black plastic coating, it doesn’t show the chalk well at all but I don’t see any of these types of comments in the reviews so I’m wondering if I have a manufacturers defect.
Overall, very happy with this purchase, would highly recommend

Amazon Customer: I bought this easel for my 2 yr old. It was very easy to assemble, all the pieces were there. It's also easy to collapse and hides away well. I do agree with the other reviews that the knobs that keep the easel together are kid friendly, they're colourful and easy to turn so I could see an older child being able to take the easel apart. But this hasn't been an issue for me. But it's a great set up and we've had lots of fun painting.

Lilley Stone: Perfect - exactly what we were looking for our 5 year old. Very good quality and I think it will last years. The accessory set also brilliant which we received as a Christmas present from a relative to go with the easel. Very pleased with the purchase and a big fan of M&D products in general as always great quality and value for money.

M. Joy: Originally, I just wanted a bare easel to hold an old oak "black" chalkboard passed down in my family for over 50 years. One of my granddaughters has taken to freestyle chalk art. SIDE NOTE: - I FINALLY located a very nice 144 pc. box of pastel colors chalk, here on Amazon. It is nearly impossible to find a large assortment of rich colored chalk, (NOT THE SIDEWALK type) anywhere!

However, (after finding the perfect chalk) I was then searching the web for a stand-alone easel that looked "worthy" for this classic but somewhat large chalkboard.

In my search I kept returning to view this one from Melissa & Doug. Finding no easel-only solution, I ditched my attempts and decided to buy this as a chalkboard/easel combination. After receiving and assembling it, I am not disappointed.

The assembly is easy and its instructions are fairly straight-forward. The materials are pre-cut/drilled wood, bolts (including the correct tightening tool) and multicolored plastic turn-knobs used for fasteners - making the assembly, break-down for storage, (and its adjustment for the user's height/fitment) ALL fast and easy.

The unit provides (2) complete "stations" for use -...

Idle Wild: after returning an easel that my daughter received for her 4th birthday to our arts and craft chain store michael's, i was more than impressed with this. the other one was 20 bucks cheaper, but that extra money we spent on this was more than worth it. the other one was not as height adjustable and was poorly designed in that easel paper by the roll will just barely NOT fit and it did not fold up for storage as the package clearly stated. it was also rougher wood that didn't look like it would last.
also this one just looks a little nicer. the trays are nicer and deeper. it folds up easily. it is held together by fun looking plastic wing nuts on the bolts that are easy to manipulate so adjusting the height or folding it up or taking off the easel paper roll, etc, is VERY easy.
i do wish the chalk board or dry erase was magnetized, but i think we will just paint of the chalkboard side with magnetic chalkboard paint.

one suggestion i do have for parents is that overall the roll of easel paper isn't the highest quality and it is expensive compared to sketch pads. you often can't use both sides, especially if your kid uses watercolors or just colors heavy with markers, and...
