Our outdoor space has an art area that I purchased this easel for. Clips are a bit tough for the smallest hands to squeeze open but with practice they can do it. It is height adjustable and we put ours on the lowest space, just right for my three year olds.

My daughter is 21 months old and we use this easel to draw with markers crayon and paint. Trust me it takes a whole different set of muscles to hold your arm up and out to paint. The price is good the quality is amazing and it will grow with kids! Best purchase and must have!!

I have absolutely no cons about this easel. The price is good, it is very sturdy and the height is adjustable. I used it with my 6 y.o. boy and now it's my daughter's turn to use it and she's 18 months old. I used it the whole summer outside and has no rust. Perfect buy!

I love this easel because it's "green", no paper needed. Although you can use paper if you choose. It would be nice if the acrylic panels were made to be removed without tools, this would make it more "indoor" user friendly for cleaning. If the panels were removable, you could wash off the paint in the sink or bathtub, rather than spraying with an outdoor hose.
