| Although my granddaughter's loved this product once they received it (it was delivered 5 days after the promised date and after their birthday party), it was missing 2 of the item listed in the "Product Features". That was the Triangular Crayons and the Vinyl Drop Mat. When I contacted the seller to arrange to have these items sent to my granddaughters I was informed that these items are not included and I should have known that if I had read the "Product Description" portion. I didn't know there was a difference but now I do and you should also. They won't be sending the items but did offer to sell then to me and as far as for taking 13 days for shipping from New York to California, no excuse at all. I think I will be passing on this seller in the future. |

We love our easel! Easy to assemble, easy to clean, great on the eyes. My daughter is a bit young for it still so we have to watch that she doesn't climb onto the chalk shelf (which actually held her up, although I don't recommend letting that happen :)).
Great paint, great that it can "grow" with her (adjustable). No problems and lots of fun so far! |
Great item to purchase!

| I purchased this easel for my sons 4th birthday last month and we both love it!! It took two adults to put this thing together but it was worth it.. The only thing I was disappointed about was that it only comes with just one marker for the white board. Other, than that it's a great product and worth every penny! I would definitely recommend this product. |

| We've really liked the standing art easle. It was relatively simple to put together. The only thing I haven't been happy with is the accessories that came with the easle. We didn't get everything that it said it came with. The jumbo crayons and the vinyl mat are missing in action and I have had an extremely hard time getting in contact with someone who can help. Anyway, the issue is still not resolved because I haven't been able to talk to a human over the phone. I did email them and have not received a reply (It's been 10 days). It's possible we'll get to the bottom of this but don't expect the crayons or mat if you buy this particular set. |

Bought as a Christmas present for grand dahling.
Her father put together easily. Has everything a child could want for painting, coloring or doing homework, such as spelling words, etc.
I was disappointed as I didn't get the vinyl drop cloth and email the company. They didn't have any drop cloths in, but would send when they did. This is now September, so I safely say I will never get the drop cloth. I picked up a cheap plastic table cloth to go under easel.

Kids like it but it constantly needs to be cleaned

| My 3 and 4 year old like to scribble on it, but it gets dirty right away and then poor old dad has to spend time cleaning it off. The wooden bar that is for paper roll that runs in between writing surfaces snapped off. My kids must have been rough housing with it. |
INCOMPLETE PRODUCT!

Excellent delivery as item arrived 2 days after order despite "Standard shipping". Was surprised item arrived so quickly.
However, I ordered the "Deluxe" Standing Easel with Accessories, yet the item was shipped WITHOUT most of the Accessories:
* No vinyl Dropcloth (A MUST when easel is used by a 2-year-old and a 6-year-old)
* No Triangular Crayons
* No Jumbo Chalk
* No Dry Erase Marker
All these items, plus others, are listed as INCLUDED in the Deluxe set on Amazon.com.
But these items are NOT listed on the Melissa & Doug packaging!
So is Amazon.com providing FALSE information about the products being offered?
At the time I ordered the "Deluxe" easel, it cost roughly $50 more than the same easel WITHOUT the accessory package. I WOULD NOT have ordered this "Deluxe" package if I had known Amazon.com provided FALSE information about what is included. I would have saved money by ordering the easel itself and buying the supplies at a local craft store.
Very disappointed in the FALSE INFORMATION STILL LISTED ON Amazon.com regarding what is included in the "Deluxe" easel.
At least my children love the item - AFTER I went to the local craft store to buy the missing accessories. |
My daughter's favorite present

| My daughter received this from Santa this year, and she loves it. She is very artsy/craftsy, and this is perfect for her. She is 6 years old, and with the boards mounted on their highest level the height is perfect for her - with some room for her to grow taller. It was also easy assembly - I did it alone, and it took approximately one hour (with some minor adjustment time included). The paint cups that came with it have built in "funnels" that make for a great place to wipe the brushes so that you don't use too much paint, along with not having paint get all over the outside of the cups (and therefore on everything else). All in all, easy to assemble, and great that it came with all the accessories - it made for very easy setup for her to start painting and drawing. |
Great choice

| Santa brought this for my 5-year-old last Christmas and it has been a huge hit. She uses the chalkboard to play school, she uses the write-off board to create signs for her "shows," and we've gone through three rolls of paper. Very sturdy. |
A great addition for a 2 and a 4 year old

| This was a gift from grandma for our 2 and 4 year olds. It was easy for my husband to put together (no colorful language) and pretty quick. It sits sturdily and evenly on the floor and gets almost daily use. I think that it encourages creativity and self-directed play. I would definitely recommend it. |
Great value

| This is a really nice easel. We bought it for our 5 year old daughter for Christmas. It was easy to assemble and is nice quality. It reminds me of toys from when I was a kid... you know, quality joints, held together with screws, durable, etc. My only issue is the erasable marker that comes with it. It's really cheap, somehow doesn't fit with the rest of the product. Like maybe it was an afterthought. But a replacement is inexpensive and it certainly isn't something that should discourage you from purchasing this item. |
Best Purchase Ever Made On Amazon!!!

| I have to say that this product has probably made me the most satisfied I've ever been about a purchase I've made here on Amazon. The easel was very simple to put together. My husband and I were expecting to spend an hour or so putting this together and had it together within about 20 minutes. The instructions were easy to understand. The easel is of high quality. Very sturdy. Lot's of little details and very colorful. It stores easily too. |
great quality easel

What a great easel. I had contemplated purchasing the IKEA model easel for like $14, but it couldn't stand up to the quality offered by Melissa and Doug. The M&D has a blackboard, whiteboard, paints, crayons, chalk and paper! It even includes a plastic clear mat to place on the floor so it catches spills etc. The paint is completely washable - my daughter got some on our wood floors and it came right off, without a trace.
Putting the easel together though, was slightly difficult. My husband said the average homeowner would need a little more time reading the complicated directions to get the jist of how to put the easel together. It could have been illustrated better. And who has time for directions when you have two little kids jumping around you, waiting in anticipation for their easel to be set up :)
All in all, at the end of it all, a great product that will last years and years and years. Thanks for making quality, M&D |
