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

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel W/Accessories Reviews
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.

Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel W/Accessories Opinions
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.

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.
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.
Not what you order . 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.
Granddaughter becomes junior Picasso . I purchased Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel with the goodies to set out and create immediately. My 4 year old grandbaby, Emma-Kate, donned her smock and and created lady bugs, palm trees and all sorts of critters! She is developing so many amazing skills with this one gift that was the highlight of her Christmas!
Love this Easle! . This easel was easy to put together. That alone gets high marks. It is colorful and great quality. My five year old son loves it. He right away wanted to play "school" and write his letters on the dry erase board. The paints don't require mixing or adding water. They wash up with water alone. The chalks come in ten different colors. My son is 44'' tall and I put the dry erase board and the chalk board on the second position. That height works great for him now and gives the easel "room to grow". I am very happy with this purchase and enjoy telling others about the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Art Easel.
Great Standing Easel . I purchased this easel for my almost 2 year old daughter and 4 1/2 year old son as a Christmas present from their grandma. It arrived just a few days after purchasing it here on Amazon.com. I also purchased the Melissa & Doug Accessories Kit and two art smocks to go with it. The only thing missing is a drop cloth that I thought was included in the accessory kit. When my kids opened this gift from their grandma on Christmas they were so excited and couldn't wait for it to be put together. My husband assembled it in no time and the height adjustments on the lowest level is perfect for them right now. They love painting, coloring and using the chalkboard. So far they have been good about taking turns using each side. This is a great standing art easel at a great price!!! We love it!!!
