This toy absouloutly SUCKS! It's so lame.and the paint is ugly.Pardon my french. by samiangel123.he he

My son loves the lights & music and of course making art withthe paints. Wish it came with double the paper & paints but he can play with this for hours!!!

I have two children 4 and eight they both loved it. The whole family was around the island watching as we all created different pictures. My only mistake was not buying the extra paper when I purchased the toy. My husband and the children played for over an hour. We were forced to stopped because we ran out of paper. It is a little difficult to wash, the paint runs down the sides. I would still not hesitate to recommend. We had a blast and it was a great way to spend family time together.

We bought this for our son's 8th birthday. I chose this one because of the height adjustment and the size. It is a joke. It does not want to stay standing with it on the tallest height. My husband is very handy and was able to make it work. Basically though I paid for height adjustment and not able to use it. If I had known this, I would have purchased a cheaper easel. With the easel in the highest height adjustment the legs are basically like hinges and are constantly hinging and falling down. We picked it up numberous times until my husband just put it in the lower position and attached the trays where the legs attach. Also some of the screws were too long the first time we put it together, and I went exactly by the instructions. Now that we have it put together a little different, I have to go and purchase a set of longer screws. With the 79.99 price, this should not have been the case. I was going to send back, and I may still. Again, I reiterate, DO NOT BUY THIS, especially if your child is a taller child and you think you are going to get some years of use out of this. I figure one year will be it for this easel at the lowest height adjustment. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY THE CHEAPER ONE OR EVEN ONE OF THE LITTLE TIKES PLASTIC SOLID SURFACE EASELS.

The person who complained about the height adjustment didn't understand how to put it together. The height of the easel doesn't change, the height of the trays does. It is very stable in either position.

My daughter received this easel for her third birthday two months ago. We keep it in our main living area and she spends half an hour to an hour each day creating masterpieces in chalk, marker or paint. While one side of the easel is set up for dry erase markers, we use the included roll of paper (which fits the easel perfectly) and give our toddler washable markers instead. We also use washable paint. A tray on either side holds all the supplies your little one will need--and removes easily for clean-ups. Replacement paper rolls can be found through art supply stores.

One note: You have to "pre-season" the chalkboard by thoroughly rubbing chalk over the surface. And of course, this type of toy requires a lot of adult supervision, especially during painting sessions.
