Santa bought this toy for my 2 girls age 3&5 and three weeks after Christmas this is still the one toy they come back to play and play again. My oldest practices her letters and numbers and the youngest draws me beautiful pictures. There are no fights as one uses the chalkboard while one uses the dry erase. It works out well as a perfect sharing toy. It also folds nicely to be moved from room to room. The only drawbacks are there should be two holders,(one for the dry erase side and one for the chalkboard side) and I wish the dry erase side was magnetic Otherwise its GREAT!

I bought this for my sister about 4 years ago and it still looks good. She still plays with it at age 10.I think the quality of the blackboard is better than the other easels made by known companies. I would definitely buy this again and recommend it to others.

Don't waste your money on those other easels that can be much more! This one is nearly perfect and at a great price. If it had a dowel to support a paper roll, or clips to hold paper, it would be perfect. Easy to fix with a visit to home depot for a dowel or clips and a roll or pad of paper. Great chalk board surface, too.

My daughter received this easel for her 3rd birthday from her aunt and uncle. I knew she would like it, but I was really suprised by how much her 8 and 11 year old brothers liked it too. It has been played with every day since she got it by all three kids. The birthday girl immediately showed us that she can draw stick people now (with noses and hair!), something I've never seen her do on paper. I think it is easier for her since she's drawing on a larger scale than on 8 x 11 paper on the table. Her brothers have used it to play school, draw goofy cartoons, and practice multiplication tables. Her baby sister likes to pull up and bang on it too! We are glad that the tray detaches easily so that we can put all the markers and chalk up out of Baby's reach. I also think it would have been nice to have two trays, one for each side. The easel is a nice quality product and is very classy looking and it folds to less than 2" thick with the tray removed. Dry erase markers and erasers were easy to find, but I had to search to find a nice felt chalkboard eraser - try a school supply store. Altogether an excellent gift for our whole family - we should have had one years ago! Thank you Chi Chi and Doyle!

I bought this for my two year old son and have been very pleased. It is the one toy that gets used on a daily basis. It is well built and easily stands up to the rigors of a two year old. The chalk board is of high quality and cleans easily. It is better than most black boards on the market. The dry erase side also cleans easily and does not stain as some boards do.
I give this item a very high rating.

My kids use this toy more than any other. This is all you need in an easel. The tray for chalk or paints switches from side to side, depending on what you need. It is foldable and classic looking. Timeless.

A nice medium-sized easel, but with one bad flaw. There is only one tray, which can be moved from one side to the other. The tray is held on by two screws on either side- you pop the tray over the screws, then push down, and it locks into place. To remove it, you pop it up, then pull it off. Nice and easy, but leaves two screws sticking out about 1/3 -1/2 inch from the bottom of the easel, perfect toddler-eye height or just right for kids to trip and cut their face or clothes with- Not a good buy for young households!!! if you can manage to get a second tray, this oops could probably be remedied, but I guess you have to write the manufacturer. It's too bad, because it's a nice little easel and looks like it could last a while otherwise.

I just love this Easel. My twins love it also. This was very easy to put together and is very sturdy. My biggest complaint is that I had to add clips to hold paper and it only has one tray for supplies. Otherwise, this was a great buy. Thank-you!!!

This is my daughter's absolute favorite thing to play with! I highly recommend it for inspiring creativity!

I bought this easel about 5 years ago for my girls, they are now 12 and 8 and they Still play school with this! It folds up for easy storage, my girls have dragged this everywhere in the house and outside to play. Out of many years of buying toys for my kids, this is the only thing that they still have in one piece and still play with. I know I definitely got my money's worth!! And I am going to buy my niece and nephew one also!!!!
