Customer Rating:      Summary: Deluxe should mean complete and ready to go Comment: The overall concept of product is very good,but how do you teach a child which side is only for chalk and not dry erase and vise versa? I can see these getting mixed up and potential ruined if not completely supervised at all times. I thought upon ordering this product that it came with a small amount of product for children to play with e.g. chalk,paint, marker,etc. since it said "DELUXE" Standing Easel. It never was clear at any point that had to purchase paper,chalk, paint, etc. seperately !! I was lucky I had the forsight to order just 1 kit of chalk, etc. that I thought would be EXTRA items for the grandchildren to share with the other grandchildren out of state who were visiting for Christmas. Otherwise we would have had the 5 grandchildren who were so excited about their standing easels and all they could do and NOTHING to do on it. We ordered 2 of these one for each family and neither time was it apparent that nothing came with the easels. I hope you will correct this and include a small amount of product with the "DELUXE Easel so it is ALL INCLUSIVE and ready for eager little hands and excited parents and grandparents to play together right away!!! Now I have to reorder or go to the stores and buy the products seperately and cost more.. It is not easy to find rolls of paper and yet sure would have been nice to have had so we could thoroughly enjoy the product.
On a brighter note since I bought a small amount of product to share anyway with all the grandchildren they ALL had a GREAT time and parents alike helping their kids. It will be a product that continues to be helpful and grow with the grandchildren imaginations.
I hope you will take this review VERY seriously and reconsider how it is packaged and presented so others will not be disappointed. Also please include instructions how to put together,my husband is very handy with putting things together so not much of hiccup for him,but I'm not so sure others would be able to put together before giving up because of so many pieces.
Thanks for the opportunity for me to let you know about the products misinformation and less than ideal packaged as it is!! I would like to order other items but I'm leery now as to what I would get and really hate to be disappointed again.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Very Pleased So Far Comment: I was surprised at how easy this item was to assemble. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. The storage trays are great and I love the paint containers. Keeps the paint from getting everywhere and keeps it from drying out too quickly. We have only had this for a couple of weeks, so I can't say as to how long this product will "hold up." But, so far, so good !
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great educational tool. Comment: I got this easel for for my 5 yr. old son for Christmas. It was fairly easy to put together on Christmas eve and is holding up nicely. My son loves it. He practices writing his letters on the dry erase board, and loves to paint on paper the clips hold. The price i paid here was lower than anywhere else. Overall, a great, sturdy easel that we will get lots of use out of.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent easel, good value! Comment: We bought this easel for our 5-year old. It has been frequently used by both the 5-year old and our 2-year old daughters. At first we were afraid that the little one was going to destroy the easel but it has withstood her attentions and is continuing to provide both girls with hours of fun! We have even attached extra-large writing paper to allow the oldest to practice her handwriting. She loves playing "school" with the easel as much as she loves drawing and painting!
Customer Rating:      Summary: My granddaughter loves this easel! Comment: This easel is great, especially when used with the rolls of paper. I'm not crazy about the chalk board portion, but my granddaughter doesn't use that so much. I wish the spaces provided for markers had been made deeper, but overall this was the best easel I could find.
