Read reviews first!
I wish I’d read the reviews before purchasing. I love the idea, but it won’t stand on its own. I bought it for my granddaughter (3) and she can only use it flat. So disap

Useless
Save yourself alot if money and pass this one up. Wonr stand up. Falls flat everytime my granddaughter attempts to draw on it...even when placing a piece of wood behind it. We ended up removing the roll of paper and she had fun just laying that on a table and drawing. So disappointed. I bought at a second hand store. Now I understand why it was donated. I'll save someone else the money and disappointment by tossing instead of re-donating. Very disappointed...we are usually so happy with Melissa and Doug toy.

Good product
My daughter loves this. Wish there were a way to hold the paper in place for 1. Her to draw and 2. She can't just rip it down.

Not stable
My child enjoys this, but the only way it will stay upright, is with the biggest books in our house supporting it. When I reached out to Melissa and Doug, they explained that it would only stay still if the support bar was fully extended, which leaves the easel facing the ceiling.

Table top easel
Bought this as a christmas gift for my son. He just opened it and the marker is dry. The Melissa’s and Doug sign is upside down. Very disappointing for the price.

Not Worth It
My mom got my daughter this for Christmas and I waited until we got her table ( a Melissa and Doug table and chair set) and this easel is terrible. It takes up the entire table and like others have said it is not functional. Very disappointed.

Disappointing
Very disappointed with this table top because it slides down as soon as it is set up. Can’t use it as pictured. You would think that the rubber feet would hold it in place but they don’t. For that reason, I would not recommend this desktop.

My Grandchildren ages 5,4,3 and 2 all love the table top easel. Each one likes a different thing because of their ages but I got one for each and their a real hit.

Sorry I bought this.
As others have said, the easel doesn’t have any way to secure the stand. So it folds shut. Great idea, horrible execution. I bought it for my 4 yo granddaughter, she rarely uses it because it’s frustrating. I can live with the lack of storage, I put all the magnets in a little lidded tub along with a set of bright colored dry erase markers. I typical love M&D toys, but this one is a big miss. Way. Too expensive for what it is. Buy. A dry erase board from a big. Box store it will be super inexpensive and provide frustration free activity fir the kids.

Disappointed in a good company
We own several Melissa and Doug products. I liked that this was tabletop so I wasn't stuck with an easel that I had to keep out all the time. This however, doesn't impress. My mom ordered for my daughter for Christmas, and was so upset and disappointed. My daughter loves to draw, but we haven't been able to find a way to properly secure the paper. Also, it would have been great if there was some kind of storage for all the magnets. The dog already got a hold of one! Finally, if its on the table it slips easily. I would definitely look into another brand.

Perfect for your Picasso
Perfect for a 2 year old who loves to color/paint and play with magnets. Just wish the base angle was adjustable, but small wish. Great price!
