Alvin Heritage™ Deluxe French Easel
This is a very good easel. However, when my daughter and I opened up the box on Christmas there were no instructions on how to set it up. I was VERY angry about this and sent an email to the company. After carefully studding the photo on the box we managed to put it together. Very frustrating without instructions.Save 35% Off
Inovart Picture-It Single Wing Chipboard Easels 10"
Bought these to use in an elementary art show. Kids were able to use simple mat frames and glue these on the back so they could put projects on display. Really makes a huge difference making their art work so much more official. I'm ordering more of these for next year.
Tabletop Easel by ALEX Little Hands
We bought this for our granddaughter for Christmas. Way too expensive for what you get. The box wording does not say paint, chalk, and erasure are in the box but the design leads one to believe there is. Now we have to spend additional money to buy this stuff so the child can actually do something with it. Would not buy it again.
A+ Childsupply Economic Adjustable Easel
We purchased this easel for our 7 year old daughter. It's a HUGE disappointment. Extended to its full height, my daughter still has to kneel to use it. The claim that it grows with your child is bogus. Not sure how a 14-year-old will use it without having to put it on a raised surface. The chalkboard doesn't really take to chalk very well, you really have to push down. The dry erase board, well, doesn't erase very well at all. We used good dry erase markers on it, and when we erased, it left a lot of ghosting. We've had it for less than a month, and we're already in the market for a new easel one that stands taller, and has better a quality chalkboard and dry erase surface. This one's going in the trash.
The assembly was quite a problem for us. The main issue is that the assembly instructions show the entire upper portion of the easel (the chalkboard-whiteboard-hinge assembly) as though it were already put together, but it was not -it came in pieces. It's not that hard to assemble it, but without any instructions to do so it took us 30 minutes or so extra. Also, one of the screws was incorrect. I called the company today and they promised to send a new one. Another reviewer commented on sharp and splintered wood. We didn't encounter that.

The holes where the screws go into were sharp and the wood on several was splintered. Screws were to short or stripped, wooden knobs can't be tightened or loosened because the screws aren't secured, dry esase dosen't erase, (no instructions as to whether this is even a dry erase) although it looks exactly like all the dry erase boards in my house. Will erase if you do it immediately, if you wait 2 seconds forget it. The wooden tray falls off if bumped at all, easel then collapses and falls over, very dangerous for small children. My 8 year old Granddaughter tipped it over twice in 30 minutes.This product was the worst item I have purchased in years. Not worth a third of the money even without the above defects. Junk!!!!
