Which one to get?

Adjust and Draw Table

Double Easel

Hidewaway Art Desk

Easel for two (I'll put the small pieces away)

Flip and Doodle Easel Desk

Activity Desk

We have friends making a lift from Brooklyn in the couple of weeks and I'd really like to get Nati one of the above items.

The advantage of the table and easel is it can accommodate more than one kid at a time and in a year and half or so, that's going to be really important. The advantage of the desk is it has storage space.

Does anyone have any of these (or something similar) and if so, what do you like/dislike about it.

Honestly, I would go for something more along these lines. I think it would be easier to repair, last longer in terms of usage, and well I just like wood.

Otherwise I would go with the Hideaway Art Desk I think

The Little Tykes easel seems a lot sturdier though...

Then wood? But wood can be repaired...I think it is a bit sturdier, but if you want your ten year old to use it wood might be better, or metal. I haven't done a through search.

But like I said, part of that is my own wood prejudice.

Also, the ones on Amazon are for 4 year olds and up.

If you want to take a look at more wooden ones, see I'm being pushy here, take a look at this link. All sorts of children's easels.

I promise I'm not getting a commission.

Non shaychis to any oncologists? Yes I'm desperate, apologies.

I cracked up when I saw the title of this thread -

He's 2 and we have a 6 week old KA"H.

I added a few more choices.. Step2 has an interesting option that's a desk and it flips up to an easel...

Micki your link is all messed up.

Please either go to tinyurl.com and get a smaller link or use the link option when you post.
