Easels from ikea?

Melett

I was going to buy the kids easels for Xmas this year , I was planning to spend about $100 each but my friend said they have them at ikea for cheap. Anyone have one? Are they decent?

We have one - DD got it two Xmases ago.  I don't know what the difference is between this and a $100 easel, but it works perfectly well.  It has a whiteboard side and a chalkboard side, and has a tray and a bar to hang a paper roll on.  DD loves it and still uses it frequently.

We got DD one from Ikea last year and it gets used almost every single day. The only drawback is that the white erase board is not magnetic, but for the price, that's fine with me.

However, the last two times I've been to Ikea, they haven't had the easels, just the paper, and they're not longer on the website, either.

We have the melissa and doug standing easel.  It's $44 on amazon and the three pack of paper rolls is about $16.  They fit perfectly but I also just tape whatever paper I have to the top and let them color/paint on that.  We love the easel, it's a great idea for a gift and the kids use it all the time.

We have it, it's fine by me (and my kids) the only "complaint" I might have is that the tray is on the chalkboard side and can't flip to the paper side ( pr at least i can't figure out how) so if he wants to paint, he has to put his paints somewhere else and reach for them, which can get a little messy.
