Toys and Games Reviews of Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel W/Accessories
Customer Review: great quality easel
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great easel. I had contemplated purchasing the IKEA model easel for like $14, but it couldn't stand up to the quality offered by Melissa and Doug. The M&D has a blackboard, whiteboard, paints, crayons, chalk and paper! It even includes a plastic clear mat to place on the floor so it catches spills etc. The paint is completely washable - my daughter got some on our wood floors and it came right off, without a trace.
Putting the easel together though, was slightly difficult. My husband said the average homeowner would need a little more time reading the complicated directions to get the jist of how to put the easel together. It could have been illustrated better. And who has time for directions when you have two little kids jumping around you, waiting in anticipation for their easel to be set up :)
All in all, at the end of it all, a great product that will last years and years and years. Thanks for making quality, M&D
Customer Review: Great Standing Easel
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this easel for my almost 2 year old daughter and 4 1/2 year old son as a Christmas present from their grandma. It arrived just a few days after purchasing it here on Amazon.com. I also purchased the Melissa & Doug Accessories Kit and two art smocks to go with it. The only thing missing is a drop cloth that I thought was included in the accessory kit. When my kids opened this gift from their grandma on Christmas they were so excited and couldn't wait for it to be put together. My husband assembled it in no time and the height adjustments on the lowest level is perfect for them right now. They love painting, coloring and using the chalkboard. So far they have been good about taking turns using each side. This is a great standing art easel at a great price!!! We love it!!!Customer Review: My daughter's favorite present
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter received this from Santa this year, and she loves it. She is very artsy/craftsy, and this is perfect for her. She is 6 years old, and with the boards mounted on their highest level the height is perfect for her - with some room for her to grow taller. It was also easy assembly - I did it alone, and it took approximately one hour (with some minor adjustment time included). The paint cups that came with it have built in "funnels" that make for a great place to wipe the brushes so that you don't use too much paint, along with not having paint get all over the outside of the cups (and therefore on everything else). All in all, easy to assemble, and great that it came with all the accessories - it made for very easy setup for her to start painting and drawing.Customer Review: Not what you order
Summary: 4 Stars
Although my granddaughter's loved this product once they received it (it was delivered 5 days after the promised date and after their birthday party), it was missing 2 of the item listed in the "Product Features". That was the Triangular Crayons and the Vinyl Drop Mat. When I contacted the seller to arrange to have these items sent to my granddaughters I was informed that these items are not included and I should have known that if I had read the "Product Description" portion. I didn't know there was a difference but now I do and you should also. They won't be sending the items but did offer to sell then to me and as far as for taking 13 days for shipping from New York to California, no excuse at all. I think I will be passing on this seller in the future.Customer Review: accessories

We've really liked the standing art easle. It was relatively simple to put together. The only thing I haven't been happy with is the accessories that came with the easle. We didn't get everything that it said it came with. The jumbo crayons and the vinyl mat are missing in action and I have had an extremely hard time getting in contact with someone who can help. Anyway, the issue is still not resolved because I haven't been able to talk to a human over the phone. I did email them and have not received a reply (It's been 10 days). It's possible we'll get to the bottom of this but don't expect the crayons or mat if you buy this particular set.
