    Amazon.com Product Description
    Inspire your young Picasso with the Melissa and Doug Deluxe Standing Easel. This easel will fuel your child's imaginative side and gives them the freedom to create with an extra-large chalkboard, dry-erase board, and easy-load paper roller. Your budding artist will be inspired by free-form expression and spend hours drawing, painting, sketching, and doodling. It is also an excellent educational item and children love playing school with the chalkboard side. This work station is ideal for kids ages four through 10 and has an adjustable height to accommodate the little ones as they grow.

    A Great Alternative to Professional Easels
    Just like a professional easel, this work station is generously sized so that children can complete projects both big and small. Its durable wood construction ensures that it won't tip and it folds up easily for convenient storage. The easel also has a sturdy paint tray with cup holders for easy use and clean-up, and another tool tray that holds erasers, chalks, and clips. Four large, colorful clips are included with this easel. Paper rolls can be loaded effortlessly into the holder and a paper cutting edge at the top delivers clean cuts and leaves your artist's work whole. Parents may have to assist removing and loading the paper, as it can be difficult for kids to do on their own. (The paper rolls and paint cups are not included.) A standing easel is essential for any young artist. This large easel has a chalkboard, dry erase board, and paper roller to let the children express themselves with different mediums. It also has an adjustable height that grows with the creator and delivers years of use. The brightly colored tool containers are capacious enough to hold lots of different items and are simple for tiny fingers to utilize. This toy will unleash the little artist inside every child and could spark a lifelong interest in fine art.

    What's in the Box
    Easel, paint tray, chalk tray, 4 colorful clips, and paper roller.



    This large easel has a chalkboard and dry erase board, letting children express themselves with different mediums.

    This is a very nice sturdy easel and is fairly easy to assemble even for an essembly challenged person like myself. My 5 year old grandaughter was thrilled with it.


    5 out of 5 stars great toy for years to come   April 21, 2008

    I bought 2 of these, one for my 2 year old, and one for her friend's birthday. My daughter LOVES it, and the lowest setting is perfect for her. I don't know if they changed the chalkboard, but we didn't have the problems others complained about. I must say I didn't even "season" the board, and it works perfectly ( I had some crayola chalk on hand, and she can draw without problems, and there are no visible scratches). Only thing that is a bit annoying are the colorful screws that hold the whole thing together - they are indeed a bit tempting for her (I have to tighten them every day :) but it's worth the trouble ).
    The boards for one of the easels were damaged, but Melissa&Doug replaced them promptly so I can't complain about that.
    It seems to be very sturdy, and I hope she'll enjoy it for years to come.

    [[ASIN:B0002AUWKG Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel]
    I just put together the easel for my three grandsons ages 4,6, and 8 years. I'm extremely pleased with the quality of this product, so much so that I'm ordering another one today. Some reviews mentioned the poor quality of the chalkboard, yet I believe those customers did not follow directions to first cover the board in chalk, then rub with a dry paper towel, then erase, then use. I did that and the chalk worked beautifully. I'm pleased with the Deluxe Easel Companion Set and 3 pack bundle of paper which I also ordered. A great product for the aspiring artists in your life...grandma will probably use it too!



    5 out of 5 stars Great easel that grows with your child   April 17, 2008

    The easel is great. It was easy enough to put together, and, like another reviewer, I did paint the chalkboard with chalkboard paint before assembly, as the chalkboard as delivered was some plasticy green surface that looked like it would scratch very easily. We are looking forward to many years of use from this easel!


    5 out of 5 stars wonderful easel!   April 15, 2008

    We bought this for our son at Christmas when he was 2.5 yrs. Granted "Santa Claus" spent a good hour in the garage putting it together for Christmas morning but it was worth it. Be sure to season the chalk board as instructed. If you do, then the chalk board works just fine, with no scratches like some of the other reviewers say. This was truly affordable and had so many gizmos, paints, paper, tools, chalk, etc., we are still enjoying it months later. It is one childhood necessity that a child cannot outgrow for years to come.
