    I have no negatives on this product – like most I found it to be sturdy, useful, convenient.

    My point in writing this: please note in the slightly negative reviews nelow, the only negative is the small parts that children like to take apart, even though their children were below the stated recommended age for the product (their children were ages of 1 1/2. etc.)

    Please allow me to clarify my only point for this review: READ RECOMMENDED AGES FOR EVERYTHING YOU BUY FOR YOUR KIDS, UNLESS YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT THEM. For this, it is even repeated at least twice for you in case you missed it.

    Manufacturer’s age: 4 years and up

    Our recommended age: 4 – 10 years

    Thank you for paying more attention to these recommendations in the future. Your kids will appreciate not having to go to the hospital as often as they otherwise will due to your lack of attention.

    The main problem is when you use the paper roll. It is difficult to feed the curled paper through the top. Then, they gave, or it came with, clips to hold the bottom. I will modify this and have both top and bottom spring loaded…springs between the top wood strip and bottom wood strip, so you can pull it out, feed the paper and let it spring back to hold the paper. It is awkwardly designed and would take very little to improve this item. I paid twenty five at Amazon a few months ago. That is the most it is worth. My daughter loves it. She paints and we do letters/numbers…abc’s on the chalkboard.

    I’m a bit disappointed in this easel for one particular reason, which is that the whiteboard is not magnetic. (Edited to add: it does not claim to be magnetic though) IMHO, whiteboards are not especially practical for kids since most of the markers for them are not washable if they get on clothing etc, and if you use different (washable) markers on the whiteboard it can stain the board. Mainly my issue is that I just think that having a magnetic whiteboard would exponentially increase the usefulness of the board, allow magnetic puzzles and letters, or hold the artwork up on the board with magnets, etc. The plain whiteboard is not useful at all in my opinion. That said, my child won’t know the difference and is likely to enjoy this easel anyway. I just think it is very silly if magnetic board is available, and it is, not to use that instead!

    Also ETA, to be fair, this easel, esp on Amazon, is an exceptional value, my relative bought it at a retail store for 3 or 4 times the cost here! I would upgrade some of the “stars” here to reflect that, but you can only change the written review and not the stars, sorry!

    Ordered this for my 4 year old’s birthday and when I pulled out the pieces to assemble it I found out that I did not get what I paid for. The kit is missing 4 pieces, if you are looking for very expensive firewood then go ahead and buy this product, if you are looking for an easel look somewhere else!

    I ordered the Deluxe Standing Easel for my 8 year old last Christmas. Out of all the MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE gifts that she received, she LOVED this one best!!! Honestly, she has played with it almost every day since then! It was easy to assemble and is very sturdy. She got an extra package of dry erase markers in her stocking and she has done art, played school, etc for endless hours. It’s great!! I highly recommend it!!!
