This easel is great! First of all, it was easy to assemble. It required only an Allen wrench and from the moment we opened the box until it was ready to use was less than an hour. It's the perfect size for both my 6-year-old and 3-year-old to use and it's the rare toy they can use together without arguing. One of them draws on the white board side while the other uses the chalk board and then they trade. It's really easy to roll down the paper for painting, too. My 6-year-old can use this completely independently. It's bigger than I expected it to be so it has a good amount of storage space in the middle for smocks, etc. and room on the sides to hold a lot of markers, chalk, paint, and so on. One thing to note is that it comes with paper and an eraser but doesn't come with any art supplies, so if you are purchasing this as a gift be sure to include paint, chalk, etc. Overall I'm very happy with this product and I think we'll be getting a ton of use out of it!
