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

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel W/Accessories (Toy)

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.

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.
