This product was shown (picture) and stated as "Easel Paper (3 pack bundle)" with a price. I ordered it with expectations of 3 rolls. I received one. I called the company and was told it was only one roll that I paid for. I protested saying what was stated "Easel Paper (3 pack bundle)" and price I paid. They mailed me the other two rolls. I Question, why is it being advertised as a 3 pack bundle with the price I paid if that is not true. The man I talked with said is was not 3 rolls, that it was only for 1 roll. I was very uncomfortable with this whole transaction even with the other two rolls being sent to me, with a reluctant attitude, without cost.

This paper can withstand quite a bit. I just wish I could find it in stores instead of ordering it, but oh well. I would recommend this paper and have recommended Amazon since this is the only place that sells it the cheapest.

This is the second order of these rolls, and the price was terrific. I wanted to make sure my granddaughter would not run out. The combination of the easel and paper was a great success for a Christmas gift. She and her friend spent hours painting. The paper is sturdy and has a nice finish for water-based paints. Her paintings hang all about the house and roll up well when dry.

I bought this for my kids easel so they can scribble and draw. They have a lot of fun with it. I bought the easel at Ikea and this paper roll is about an inch smaller than what they sell. But it works just the same and it's nice thick paper and doesn't tear easily.

Pluses:

- I really did receive three rolls.

- The paper is bright white.

- For three rolls the price isn't bad.

Minuses:

- It is very thin. Much thinner than, for example, cheap copy paper. (Each 75' roll is less than 2 1/2" in diameter.)

- It wrinkles easily.

- It seems to come apart more easily when wet (for example from painting with water colors or drooling) than other craft papers.

- It's not as smooth, even right off the roll, as similar roll paper I've worked with.

Bottom line: Depends on what you want it for. If you are getting paper for kids to doodle on this will be OK. If it's for water colors then it might pose some challenges. If you are using it as a photographic backdrop then it might be OK if handled carefully.

Let me first say my son loves to paint using the M&D easel. However, the M&D paper does not hold up and tears easily with paint. I would not recommend this paper. I ordered some 3rd party 50lb weight paper instead. The heavy weight paper never tore and can hold lots of paint.

DO NOT BUY THIS PAPER! My daughter put water and paint to it and after 3 brush strokes it tore! Cheap and thin paper I cannot believe they say that it can be used with paint!

This easel paper is nearly impossible to find in stores. Thank you for making it available on line

My daughter loves her Easel and this replacement paper is just the thing as she used her first roll over a period of about 3 months. She spends hours on this easel teaching her imaginary students and simply indulging her creative side with a variety of artistic creations. My wife and I are very pleased with this purchase. It certainly beats the mind-numbing effect of sitting and watching TV!

I purchased this paper not realizing that the accessory set for the Melissa & Doug Easel came with paper. After reading reviews on people having problems getting more paper, I was glad I purchased this. It will sure come in handy when the paper we have runs out.
