Step2 Flip and Doodle Easel Desk with Stool Review
My two year old son loves this product. It's a little big for him to use as a desk right now so he uses the easel. Overall I'm also very happy with the product but have two complaints.
Although the instructions are very easy to read I was bothered by the fact that the instructions left out where the long and short screws go. I'm not saying it wasn't a breeze to put together but I had to remove the four long screws from the top of the desk when I realised they should have been used for the legs.
I also think the clip that holds the paper onto the whiteboard could be a little stronger. I don't know if it's just the one I have and it won't be a problem when my son is older. But right now he's a very energetic artist and he tends to pull the paper out of the clip when he's drawing.
Other than that my son absolutely loves it and I think it will be great for him for a very long time.

wonderful product - jadegal - ca
Bought this for my 19-month old daughter, so she could learn to doodle on there instead of everywhere else...love the fact that the doodling board is also magnetic, so I can put those fridge magnetic alphabet letters on there to teach her as well.
Love all those storage bins, they definitely help keep things organized.
One small complaint...would like it better if the book shelf is on the sides instead of the back (why leave the sides empty?). I have it against a wall, so with the shelf on the back makes it useless...unless we move the entire thing out each time she needs a book...so her books end up in the larger bins at the bottom instead, which means one less storage item...
Great - "Page" - AL, USA
My 2 year old loves his easel, the stool doesn't get used all that much, there are plenty of buckets for storage and an area at the back in which to store a couple of books. It's also light enough to move around for cleanup. Delivery from the seller was very last minute we almost thought it wouldn't arrive on time for our sons birthday...
good desk. - Deborah A. Sweeney - Jamestown, NY
I purchased this desk for my little girl (4 years old). I wanted something she could do her puzzles on but that would be sturdy enough for her tom-boy ways. She like it, but not to sit at. She like to bang the flip down desk part down cause it makes a loud noise. Yet the things stays together and is still in one piece :) All the step 2 products I have bought are very well built and sturdy.
GREAT easel, loved ours, so we purchased another for a gift. - C. J. Petty -
My son (at age 2) recieved this as a gift. He loves it and uses it several times a day, even after a year. Once his cousin saw it (18 months), it was clear she needed one too, so I purchased one for her Christmas present. The price is great, the quality is great. This is one of the few easels with a stool, which the kids adore. It has great storage bins/space that we use for more than just art supplies. Plus it has a place for coloring books/paper in the back. We also store an apron there. He paints, he colors and he uses dry erase markers and magnets on this unit. Easy to assemble. Easy for kids to use. One of the best toys in the house! Whenever any of his friends come over, it's one of the things that they are magically drawn to.
