Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I am a big fan of the Step 2 products. They have great durability, and are usually designed well. I had an older version of this easel, and I have to say that I liked it better than this one (unfortunately I sold it in a garage sale a couple of years ago). The older version had two different boards that were at a slight angle, more like a traditional easel, which I think made it a bit easier for the little ones to write/draw on. This new version has just one board with two sides and stands upright. I guess the plus to this is that the base doesn't need to be as wide so it is more small space friendly.
Last year I purchased the Melissa and Doug deluxe standing easel for my nephews as a gift, and I have to say that I wish I would have spent the $10 more and purchased that one instead of the Step 2 for one simple reason. It grows with your children. The Melissa and Doug easel is height adjustable so that my 2 yr old nephew and five year old nephew can both use it, and you can attach a roll of paper that you just pull over the top and they are ready to create. You can attach paper to the clip on the Step 2, but the biggest downside to the Step 2 over the Melissa and Doug is that it is not height adjustable so it's better for just toddlers up to maybe age 4 (depending on how tall your kids are).
Basically there's nothing really wrong with the Step 2 and they make great products, but for my money I wish I would have purchased something that would have been useful longer by buying the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel that would have grown with us, instead of being something that we will only use for a shorter period of time. I didn't really think about that until I had it home and had put it together :(

It came with the magnets which are fun, and a tray to put them on, but it's a dry erase board and a chalk board...could it not come with these things too? I love it other than that. Great easel and my son loves it...just took a star off for having to buy my own supplied for it!Best Deals for Step2 All Around Easel for Two, Red/Yellow/Tan
Trying to put this thing together is frustrating. I cannot get the easel to look in place. I have been hammering on the thing for over an hour. All I have to show for it is a few marks on the thing where the towel slipped. This is ridiculously hard to put together!Update: I got the thing to go together by praying the pieces that lock together with a little cooking spray. Whether or not this really helped I can't say, but the thing is together.
