We recently gave away our children's art desk due to a lack of space. It just wasn't worth tripping over it anymore. I'm so glad I stumbled across the Step2 Jumbo Art Easel. It retails for less than half of what our previous desk was, has plenty of storage (4 small totes and 2 medium totes, along with an area to store coloring books), is 2 sided and takes up very little space!I can easily push it up against the wall in our office when not in use. Because it is double sided, several children can play with it at once. Right now my 4-year-old and her friend are both using it to paint pictures.Set up took less than 30 minutes and was very straightforward. I envision hours and hours of playtime with our new art easel.As with all of the Step2 products that we've owned over the years, it is a sturdy toy that will last a very long time. They are truly built to last.
