Kidkraft Wood Easel from Costco - Any good?

[MMMommy]

Does anyone have the Kidkraft Wood Easel from Costco? I bought one today from Costco's seasonal toy section ($59.99) for potential Xmas gift for my girls and was wondering if anyone had it. I think it is the same one they offered last year. Does anyone have any opinion on this easel and/or user reviews?

Also, does anyone know if the IKEA paper roll will fit? Since it doesn't have clips, are there good clips that could be attached to hold coloring book pages and such?

Thanks!

We have it and love it. I don't know if the IKEA roll will fit. I've bought the Melissa and Doug roll and used that.

We haven't used pages from coloring books. We have ripped out those paint with water sheets from a book and just got them to stick to the white board by wetting it. We've always just used the roll paper for painting and drawing on the easel. We use a wood table for making cards or using colored paper. We don't really use coloring books so I'm not sure about your clip question.

Hope this helps!
