Step2 Flip & Doodle Easel Desk With Stool, Kids 2 in 1 Activity Table, Art Board, Made of Durable Plastic, For Toddlers 2+ Years Old

The Step2 Flip and Doodle Easel Desk with Stool is awesome, its as simple as that. (Hereinafter, for the sake of brevity I will simply refer to it as the "artist desk"). I can't say enough good about this product for children. Not only is this a super quality built product, it is made in the USA! Can you believe that. I was really happy to see it is actually manufactured in Ohio. It does say on the box that some parts used are imported from China. The instructions have wording in different languages. However, the instructions for English are in the form of pictures of the product for each step of the assembly process, being self-explanatory in a sense. The stool seat snaps onto the legs securely with no screws or bolts to come loose, ever. The rest of the unit uses two longer screws (I think they were 1 7/8 inch and 10 one-inch screws. This "artist desk" includes four smaller bins to store writing materials in, and two larger bins for storage as well. The back of the unit provides storage for numerous children's books of various sizes. Storage for books is provided on both sides of the back of the "artist desk". The unit is very stable, having legs mounted to the front of both sides of the "artist desk". The "Flip" part of this unit accepts dry-erase markers and has the added feature of being magnetic as well. When folded down to the horizontal position it becomes a writing desk. There are indentations on the front of that side of the flip part, as well as indentations for writing materials on either side of the flip-down part. There are also (on the light blue part that appears behind the flip down part) several places to store writing instruments such as various sizes of dry-erase markers of numerous colors. This was purchase for our grand daughter who will be 3 on April 2nd of 2016, to give you an idea of the age range for fit. I would say, on average, the age range to fit would be about age 2 - 5. The only thing you need to supply is the child to use this unit and the writing utensils (dry-erase markers, eraser, magnetic numbers & letters, and crayons with scratch pad and coloring books, for example). I can see a child spending quite a bit of time on this "Step2 Flip and Doodle Easel Desk with Stool". Any kid would love this. Buy it you will be glad you did. I saw the same unit (supposedly) on sale at Kohl's for $75 plus tax. I got it here on Amazon for around $50 with FREE shipping and it shipped awesomely fast.

My 2 1/2 year old grandson loves to draw. He enjoys the easel every time he comes to my house. He is not interested in the desktop yet. All the little containers are great for crayons, cars, tools,...It was easy to assemble until attaching the desktop/ easel. I had to have my son use his strength to press it into place.It is sturdy, cute, can be used for so many different activities, nice size, and is easy to clean.

This is an amazing coloring spot for the kids. The small stool fits my 4 year old perfectly, and 7 year old can still use it comfortably. The desk held all the art box (formerly a large storage tote dumped full of all the crap where nothing could ever be found). We fit 10-15 regular sized coloring books in the back side (like a magazine rack). Extra large or odd shaped coloring books don't really fit back there. The bins are an ok size, and fill easily with paints, crayons, stickers, etc. and the row in the back fills with standard sized large markers. They slide in and out of the slots and it's clear which slot they will fit into. The easel flips up and down easily and the kids can use the clip feature on the easel quickly. One issue I do see is when the easel is flat the kids tend to push down on it when leaning in to color; I expect over time to possibly have trouble with this, however no issues yet after 1 month of regular use. The kids use it all the time and it helps to keep them organized (thankfully). My husband asked if it was really a present to me (more organized) or for the kids (place to play and color). I'm calling it a win-win overall.

This is just perfect. No criticism, nothing I would want changed. We are beyond happy with this product.-It doesn't take up too much space-It makes good use of the space it does use by having storage *everywhere*-Surprisingly sturdy, the stool doesn't look like much (I thought we would have to get another seat) but it can hold me or his dad-The way it is laid out makes so much sense. I love the cup holder for our water cup when we paint, I love that the easel is dry erase (so easy to clean!) and of course, magnetic. The color/marker spots on top. All the storage bins. The indents on the sides of the desk to keep crayons from rolling away. All such thoughtful touches.-Versatility, if you want to stand and draw on the easel you can, if you want to sit and color you can.-Price is great.I love being able to give him a spot to play with messy items we used to have to make preparations to play with. Play doh, markers, paint. Just set at the desk together and have a great time.

My daughter needed a space to call her own and a place for me not to worry about paint stains or marker lines. This desk is great. Perfect size for a very tall 2.5 year old (37 inches) assembly was simple. It is very sturdy. The only thing I do not like is the stool is very slippery on laminate floors. I read other reviews about this same issue so I just put chair sliders on the bottom and it seems to help a bit. Packaging was fine. The step 2 logo on the whiteboard is crooked but other than that super fast shipping and very nice product.

She loves her little very own space!

Durable and easy to clean. My kids love it!

We love this easel its perfect for our two yr old daughter who already loves coloring, I considered just getting the stand up easel but after a ton of reading and searching we choose this one and were happy we did, we love the immense amount of storage, the magnetic white board and the fact that she can wither sit or stand! It was also quite easy to put together didn't even need the husbands help which was great! The only thing I would change is instead of having the book shelves on the back they should have put them on the side but other than that it truly was a great choice 😊
