I never received the easel. I ordered it on 11/27/05. You finally just cancelled the order so close to Christmas that it was impossilble for me to find one anywhere. Before you cancelled it you kept promising that it would be shipped. I am not sure I will order things through your sight in the future, especially if they are intended as a gift,

We debated for a long time as to which easel to go with, I'm so glad we went with this one - it's perfect. Chalkboard works great, erases beautifully and very easy to draw on. The other side is a magnetic whiteboard that my son has drawn on with crayons, wipes off no problem. It comes with 1 pack of magnetic letters and one pack of magnetic numbers - throw them out - they are a choking hazard - you can easily buy a larger set at your local Longs, walgreens or whatever for about $1.00 each. I love how this easel folds up for easy storage and one of my favorite things about this easel over the others (besides the quality) is the storage tray - it goes from one side to the other, very easy to clean and holds a ton of stuff. It has a clib on both sides to hold paper or pads of paper (I've put up one sheet and it holds it just as perfectly as a whole pad). My son has been playing with this easel non-stop since we got it. We bought it directly from step2's website because their shipping charge was MUCH cheaper than here. I highly recommend this as a wonderful easel for any child!

I get a kick out of making things and thought that this would be a fun little toy I could stick on my desk and fool around with.

It is, it's fun and for the price decently made. I got it today and messed around with it for about three hours before I realized how much time had passed.

This product got four stars for two reasons or it would have gotten 5.

One, the design booklet... there was no point for it, the instructions weren't clear nor did I have enough pieces to make the 'two' designs in the booklet that my set was capable of, other than being a little disappointed I didn't mind, my mind it good enough to have fun with them.

The second is the more important one. When trying to build things like a ball or what they show on the cover pictures you see here, the sticks aren't long enough to fully 'stick' it all together which was annoying, RoseArt needs to redesign the lengths or they need to put some sizes in to let them come together to make the shape.

Over all a four, it's fun to play with. If it had come together in the shapes they show completely, it would have gotten a 5.

Despite all the recent happenings with recalling magnetix because a little boy died after ingesting them...I would still buy this set again anyday for my kids!!

It says ages 3 AND UP FOR A REASON! The plastic pieces may fall apart but we've had ours for 4 months and my kids play with them non-stop and we've NEVER had a problem with the magnents falling out. But these are not plastic they are metal and they do not fall apart like the plastic ones.

If you do not think your kids are old enough to not put something in their mouths then do not buy this product. But I have a 3 and 5 year old that love their set more than anything else in the house!!
