  One of my friends does, and they're happy with it.

  Everyone I know that has it, loves it. I want one, but have no earthly idea where we'll put it. I need a bigger house.

  We have it. Love it. DD likes to draw me rainbows and circles on it. Such a great deal too.

  It's great, especially when you compare it to the Melissa and Doug one that's somewhere around $50.  My only complaint is that there isn't a tray for crayons/markers on the white side because that's where the paper roll goes.

  We have our paper roll on the chalkboard side with the tray.

   

  ETA: Duh, I misunderstood you.  I thought you meant your paper was used on the white board side, but i Think you're actually saying the  roll is where a tray would be.

  For the price, we love ours.  A couple of cons:

  The chalkboard side isn't very chalkboardy.  This could be easily remedied with a coat or two of chalkboard paint, and the total cost would probably still be less than the next lowest-priced easel.

  Our boys (mostly Daniel) figured out how to completely disassemble it -- right down to the hinges at the top -- approximately .0085265 seconds after we got it put together.  It's been easy for us to put it back together, though, so if that's not a big deal to you, then it's still worth it for the price.  And it sounds like maybe we're the only ones who've had that problem anyway.

   like took the screws out or figured out how to pull the tray up and fold it? My pretty mechanically inclined kiddo has never tried that :

  Yes. To both.
