ISO wodden easel with magnetic side(s)

[Mamma2004]

We acquired an ENORMOUS plastic desk/easel at a yard sale when DS was 2. It still serves us well outdoors in the spring and summer, and even on the porch in early fall. We have now put away that hunk-o-plastic (for now), realizing that DS will soon be 4 1/2 and wants to use an easel all the time.

I have searched the threads in the past but am eager to purchase a sturdy, safe easel ASAP. I am open to online as well as B&M shopping and would prefer not to shell out $150. That said, please tell me why you *love* your easel and how long you think DC will be able to use it.

Thanks so much!

We have this one from Lakeshore Learning.

It's sturdy, and the dry erase board is magnetic . It's adjustable to two different heights and we still have it on the lower setting, so it should last forever. I would highly recommend it.

I haven't looked lately, but there are usually coupon codes floating around. HTH

Thanks for posting the Lakeshore Learning one. We've recently moved and have lost our magnetic surface (stainless steel fridge), so this would be prefect!

The Lakeshore Learning easel does look nice, especially with the code. Any other suggestions out there?

TIA!
