5.0 out of 5 stars Look Out Art Enthusiasts!, August 10, 2006

By	History_of_Art_Geek (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Natural Wood Easel with Plastic Bins (Toy)

The Art Easel with Bins was an impulse purchase, which is atypical for me. As one who adores art, I try to encourage my son to take an interest in drawing, and painting. When I saw this awesome easel I couldn't pass it up. That was over two years ago, and this piece of "furniture" still looks new!

There isn't enough space in my son's bedroom to place this easel at an angle so that he can choose a side to work. Thus, the chalkboard faced out. This became awkward when William wanted to use the marker board side, or when a friend came to play. The easel is quite bulky, and too heavy to move. A young child cannot lift this easel, nor should they try. Consequently, I bought casters with the intent of screwing them into the legs. Unfortunately, the legs are not thick enough for casters. I'd have to build out the legs in order to make it work, and I haven't found the time for that. Thus, the Art Easel with Bins easel currently lives in the backyard under a covered patio. I found a large, insulated tablecloth to cover it when not in use, and this arrangement works much better for us. William can use his easel whenever he wants, and I don't have to worry about turning it around, and scratching up the bedroom walls. In addition, I'm not concerned about paint splattering all over his bedroom, or chalk dust flying every which way.

If you choose to purchase the Art Easel with Bins, make sure you have the room for it. It's superior quality from what I've seen, and the bins are an extra bonus! They slide out easily, and store lots of supplies. The easel cleans up effortlessly. All I do is wipe it down with water and a rag after a painting session. The paint comes right off. The finish looks new, and that's saying a lot considering it lives outside with our extreme temperatures in Phoenix.

If you have a budding artist, consider the Art Easel with Bins by Battat. It'll live longer than it's owner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Easel, October 25, 2007

This review is from: Natural Wood Easel with Plastic Bins (Toy)

My son received this easel for his second birthday and we all love it. It's very durable, and the size is just right (although my son sometimes stands on a stool to draw or paint). It's heavy enough that it won't move around while he's using it, but light and small enough for us to move it to a different space when needed. The bins are great for storing all of his art supplies--we haven't even filled them all yet. Paint cleans off of the wood very easily with a wet cloth. It does also hold a roll of paper (I think this point is missing from the product description). The only thing missing from this easel is that neither the dry erase nor chalk board is magnetic. But that is a minor complaint. Overall this is fabulous easel and worth every penny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome product and service!, January 16, 2007

By	Claudia D. Ledesma (Maui,HI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Natural Wood Easel with Plastic Bins (Toy)

Easel is sturdy, made out of solid wood. Bins that sit underneath are holding all of our daughter's art supplies, including coloring books!
She is only three and a half and very little, so we just use a stool. The easel is outside on our deck, covered with a nice blanket.
When it arrived, one of the trays was damaged and since it was sent by Target and not Amazon, we would have had to send the entire easel back (80lbs!) to Amazon.(from Hawaii)
So we decided to keep it. Amazon gave us a credit for half the return shipping cost and we contacted Battat to see, if we could purchase the damaged tray. They are going to send us a new tray!
So, excellent product with excellent service throughout from Amazon and Battat!
