Great gift
"Got this as a replacement to an older model. But from the start we could see the difference from how this one was made. Definitely stronger more durable. What I also like is that it's smaller, and has a modern look to it. The only thing I wish it was magnetic!!! But I still would recommend this product to friends."

Looks Like Furniture
"This was a gift for my daughter 5 years ago and we still have it in our house. It is extremely sturdy and coordinates with regular/adult furniture. Constant compliments on it because it doesn't stand out like most other easels do."

Wonderful Easel
"This easel is fantastic, it is attractive enough to have it out all the time and my two children just adore it. The only reason I gave it 4 starts was because the bolts on mine tend to loosen so my husband fashioned a way to prevent that from happening. Overall this is wonderful and I highly recommend it."

Love this Easel!
"If you are looking for a great sturdy easel, look no further. I bought this for my son 3 years ago, and he and my daughter, now ages 5, 2 use it all the time! It is VERY well made and very sturdy."

Best purchase ever
"I bought the easel for my 5 year old daughter and she loves it!! She loves the chalkboard which allows her to practice and write her sight words and spelling words. Also we love to play school with it!! We also love to paint with it!! Also it's very beautifully made. We hope to have it for years to come!!"

Great Easel
"This is a beautiful, high quality easel. It looks really nice in my kitchen, so I don't mind having it out! My son loves it and draws on it all the time. I looked at a few before deciding on this one, and this easel was by far the nicest I could find. I anticipate having it for many years to come!"

"We bought the easel as a Christmas gift 2 years ago. Our children have not outgrown it, and they are now 12 & 8 years old. The 12 yr old practices writing her vocabulary words on the whiteboard side for school. This was a gift originally for our 8 yr old, plays with it daily. They both love to draw and paint on it. It is the only "toy" left in the room we used as a playroom and will be for a long time!"

Nice but not what I expected
"I bought this for my 5 and 3 year old and they love it. I was al little disappointed with the overall quality. I have bought wood made toys from kidkraft which were much better quality. Side hook was cracked not needed to actually use it but annoyed. Have to make time to call customer service to see if they can send me a replacement."

Looks great - very fun
"My 2 year old received this for christmas from the grandparents and it is a hit. Just a reminder to also order some chalk, an eraser, and any other accessories (dry erase markers, eraser). I picked this out because it fits in with our decor - we can leave it out in the family room and it doesn't look cheap at all. It took us about 45 min to put together with two adults."

Drawing Here and There
"With two kids, sharing is always a struggle.... But with this two sided easel, there's plenty of room for them to create on their own with no need to take turns.
The greatest gift EVER!

Arrived broken
"I purchased this for my son for Christmas. I had ordered it a few months before putting it together and didn't call customer service, though I probably should have... when I put it together, one of the screws was stripped and the side hook was broken off. :( I am really bummed though these pieces are not required for the easel to be used. That said, my son loves to draw on it and play with the paper. Just wish it had arrived in one piece."

Wow, love it!
"The best Christmas gift we have ever purchased! Our 8 and 6 year olds love this art easel! It's absolutely gorgeous. We purchased a slightly cheaper product two years ago and it broke completely and was not sturdy. This is a gorgeous piece of furniture that works in our family room as well as the basement playroom. LOVE IT! It's worth every dime. Just remember to purchase the rolled paper & chalk (listed in the accessory section), it doesn't come with it. Amazing product!"

"I've been wanting an easel for my 2-year-old for a while but so many of the kids easels were either flimsy or unattractive. Not so with the Easel Does It. The easel is very well built and looks beautiful in our family room. It's sturdy enough for a child to put a bit of weight on it while painting (the easel doesn't move) and is easy for kids to use. The art paper, paint cups and chalkboard provide many different ways for kids to express themselves."

Perfect for kids - nice to look at for grown ups!
"Our small house and open floor plan necessitates that kid furniture works with our living room decor and this hit the spot. I really wanted my daughter to have an easel and agonized over the childlike look of other versions and bought this one on the spot."

Beatiful!
"Love this. The price seemed a bit steep at first but after looking around online this is a very reasonable price for such a beautiful easel. It blends with our family room so well that we just leave it out in there for the kids to play with all the time. And the paper up top is great. I wish they made a dry erase board or other attachments so we could add to it, but we love it nonetheless."
