Art easel?

[Tammy]

Which art easel do you recommend for 3yr old DD (b-day present)? Her grandparents want to get her one, and I've seen a couple out there (M&D, Step 2)- so which do you like and for what reasons?
Thanks!

I really like the Kidcraft one at Costco right now:

We don't have it. I just think it looks really nice. :)

We have this Beka one. I still haven't put the whole thing together, but I like the adjustable aspect, as well as the paint trays. I need to add the paper thing on the top. http://www.bekainc.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=5&category_id=22&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=26

got it on CL for $35

We have the Imaginarium brand easel from TRU. It is exactly the same as the M&D one. We have been very happy with it.

We have the M&D one and are very happy with it.

We have the M&D one and really really like it. Very sturdy, attractive, and love the storage for the paint cups and chalks. Highly recommended, and works well for that age.

Just wanted to add, if you get the M&D one, make sure you get the accessory set too.

This is the one I'm eyeing for when DS gets a little older. It's made in the US which is a plus. My sister has the M&D one and likes it for her daughters.
