 Great easel; not so great chalkboard August 4, 2006
101 out of 101 found this review helpful
I bought this easel as part of the classroom I set up for my preschooler. I love the adjustable size, durability and ease of use. My only complaint was the chalkboard. Though I followed the priming instructions diligently, I found that even the good chalk scratched the board and did not write well. Melissa and Doug did reply immediately to my concern and were willing to do whatever necessary to correct the problem. On a whim, I decided to try some chalkboard paint instead. It now writes beautifully, and I love the black chalkboard, rather than the green it came as. It is perfect.

I bought this item for my 3 year old daughter and had the same problem with the chalkboard (not working so well). I call the 800 number on the back of the box and the people in customer service sent me a new chalkboard. I was amazed at how helpful they were and the desire they had to make me happy. I will buy Melissa and Doug toys for years to come.
 Chalk board stinks June 20, 2006

After priming the board as the instructions indicated...it is still useless. The chalk actually cuts into the chalkboard so now, my daughter who loved chalk and drawing can't use that side of the easel. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone if they are looking for a product that does what it is supposed to do. I wonder if the makers even tried to use it...why would someone make a product that doesn't work and then expect people to buy it...very disappointing.
 chalkboard not functional June 13, 2006

not sure why the chalkboard does not work and this high quality "melissa & doug" brand. a couple of other feedbacks note the same problem. my daughter loves to draw with chalk so we are really bummed that only half of the easel is useful. we primed it just as the instructions state but no luck there.

Great concept..Awesome bright colors. I too had a problem with the chalkboard. I prepped the chalkboard exactly as the directions instructed and now it has a chip in the board and the chalk actually does cut into the board like another consumer wrote,there are lots of scratches all over the board. Unfortunately they don't make chalkboards like they used to. I called Melissa & Doug, because they need to be aware of this issue. M&D really do try to please you and they stand behind the quality of their products. They have great customer service and they are sending me out a new chalkboard.All is not lost on this easeal. My favorite feature on this easel is that it can be adjusted to 2 different heights at once. The chalkboard can be at the tallest height, while the dry erase can be set at the lowest height, especially helpful if you have 2 children of different ages/heights using it at the same time. We love the paint and chalk trays. The paper roll is awesome and the easel is really sturdy.I wish I could have scored this higher, but the chalkboard issue just can't be ignored.
