First things first: I have bought this item, kept it for couple days and I am shipping it back.So before making your shopping decision here is what you need to know:Pros:Absolutely beautifully constructed.Solid and sturdyVery nice architecture of the item in personIt looks more beautiful then in the pictureThe green chalk board side is nice colorThe white side is as big as the chalk board sideComes with paper rollyou can skip installing the bottom shelf and the side shelves if you choose so(I did not want the bottom shelf and the side of the white board shelvesas I wanted it to be easily foldable and to take less space, I could do that easily)The chalk shelve can be lifted up for storage so it takes up less space.You can fold it nicely altogether so it does not take up much space at all.Legs are edjsutable. YOu can easily respoition screw on each leg to make itlonger o shorted and it is quite a great deal of length that you can reduce or add that way.Cons -What made me to return the item and what I believe the distributor should look into:The product has a profound chemical smell upon arrival that reminds me of a pesticidesection of a Home Depot store.At first it was mostly smell of paint, and.. possibly a Styrofoam that it came heavilypadded with.Then the smell of paint went away but the other did not, I could not stand next toIt without my eyes and skin itching, the same with my child. It was obviousthat that smell won't go away anytime soon and I was even wondering ifit is safe for a child.I did not attempt to rinse it or wipe as my experience with other children furnituretold me that it is futile. Once something has this kind of smell, it won't go away.I don't want to give this product bad reviews only because I believe it is an amazingand beautiful easel and there are none like this on the market now as I searchedlow and high and that was IT. I was so full of hope for this and I am surethat scores of parents would enjoy this product as it is very practical and notan eye sore in your home. However the smell thing should be addressed.I will be happy to remove my review if I see that others reported that this itemis no more smelling as I hope that the distributor will look into the issueand request adequate changes with the manufacturer as this should belooked into and checked as this is a child product and should not be takenlightly. We care what goes into our children's products and we do trustthe name of the brand. Please keep up with the demand for safety.
