I bought this easel as a gift for a 2 year old. She uses it daily, and is so creative. 
The spill proof paint cups and tray to hold them in place is a really nice feature. You can use solo plastic cups instead of the paint cups to hold markers and crayons. 
It is made if good quality wood and is very sturdy and simple to assemble. It has an adjustable height feature that is great as the child will not outgrow it for a while.
I just would recommend that the boards be magnetic as that introduces another aspect of play with letter and number magnets, Also, it would be quick and easy to hold drawing  paper in place with magnets when not utilizing the roll of paper,
