I purchased the easel and it was so difficult. The holes did not line up. We had to drill them! There was a screw missing. The whiteboard marker wouldn’t wipe off, it remains there to this day.

I paid $80 for this easel and the measurements are off. This is not okay!!! I am highly disappointed. I get to the end of putting this easel together and now the bottom half of the white board has to hang off.

Ashlin - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
This is impossible to assemble because the screws are not the correct size for several holes. As another reviewer noted, they're either too long or too short for what's needed. I'll be returning this.
Not manufactured correctly impossible to assemble.

The holes are punched wrong and uneven. They do not line up with where they are supposed to be screwed in and due to manufacturing error it is impossible to put together. Do not waste your time but especially if you are a parent like me with very limited time and money do not waste the hour I did trying to put it together just to find out it was not made correctly.

A quality hit with grandkids

Lawrence H. - 7 months ago
originally posted on Melissa and Doug
The art easel was great! It was good quality and the grandkids loved it, as soon as it was put together. The only drawback was that the easel involved quite a bit of assembly, and the assembly instructions were a bit unclear and confusing. Assembly took an hour and a half, because the instructions were often confusing.

This thing is an absolute piece of trash. The instructions were completely incomprehensible, it took so long to setup, it collapsed at several points one of which crushed my finger.

This was TERRIBLE to put together. I would return it but it took > 2 hrs to put together. Screws didn’t fit. The instructions included were absolutely terrible and hard to follow. We love Melissa and Doug but I would pass on this if you’re looking for an art easel.
Very poor quality

For being Melissa and Doug, these wood pieces were very poor quality. Some pieces didn’t even fully have a hole NEEDED to build it! Might as well go with a cheaper, off brand.

Yvette - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
Horrible instructions. Someone else mentioned tienes the 2 bolts that do not fit and same issue here. 2 darn bolts are not long enough for the middle piece where you put the roll of paper. This whole thing was so complicated and it’s been 2 days and 2 people and it was easier to built his yard swing.

Beth - 7 months ago, Verified purchaser
I generally like Melissa and Doug products which is why I chose this easel over other options. The quality is AWFUL. The legs are drilled upside down, meaning it doesn’t sit flat on the floor because the angled edge is to the top. The bolts are incorrectly sized for more than one area. Truly disappointed as I sit here on Christmas Eve assembling for tomorrow. Do not buy it.
Screw it, if you can!!!

Functions but...

BHughes - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
The easel functions, and that is the positive. In building it, we weren’t able to install the second tray because we ran out of the shorter screws, and the bolts that we did have to use for it were not able to be used - they did not allow for tightening all the way (in stark comparison to the others). I’d recommend M&D send a few extra screws/bolts with these kits in the event of the situation we ran into. The wood is also untreated and rough, so beware of splinters.
Folds for storage

I love that this easel can be folded for storage. It’s gotten a lot of use in our house. My only complaint is that the screws are a bit short.

Wish I would have read more reviews prior to buying. Screw holes on the frame are not properly drilled out and/or the screws are too short. Literally cannot assemble this item and, as we all know, Melissa and Doug products are not cheap. So frustrated.
