We bought one from Ikea..

It works great and I like that you can buy the paper rolls and they attach right to it

And it was cheap!

We're planning to buy DS the Step 2 one for Christmas.  I like how there are places to store his art stuff and I think he'll like the stool since we usually do art projects in his high chair.

I have a Melissa and Doug easel. I like that a roll of paper fits, there is a chalkboard on one side, has two trays and folds very easily.  There is no way I would want to keep all those art supplies at the reach of my preschooler, let alone my toddler.  Supplies are stored in the craft closet and taken out when we need to use them.

I feel the same way -- our supplies are stored in boxes out of reach in our playroom. We have the Imaginarium easel; I like that it holds a roll of paper (the Crayola one doesn't) and the white board is magnetic (the Ikea one isn't).

I wish our whiteboard was magnetic.
