Together with the supplier and designers, we didn’t only manage to correct the problems; we also lowered the price and extended the drawing surface down to the floor. “It makes it possible for the smaller children to reach a larger surface, and older children can sit down on the floor when they draw and paint.” But was the easel good enough now, or could it get even better? “To find out, we invited parents in a store to test and comment. This way, we could ask questions and listen to their reflections.”

Easel for granddaughterAnonymous reviewerVery useful with paper roll to allow easy access to drawing without having to set up activity
Great value for moneyAnonymous reviewerVery easy to put together and keeps my little one entertained for ages!
Straight forward easy to assemble easel.Anonymous reviewerMy grandchildren really enjoy using this. It is easy to wipe clean with a damp cloth. The simple narrow trays on either side are great for holding pens and chalk etc. Large boards are good and they go low enough to allow smaller toddlers to use it too. It is good value. Other types of easel that I looked at were more fussy in their design. Obviously you need to buy the correct wipe clean pens and chalks to use on the easel.
Very bad quality surfaceAnonymous reviewerIt’s not a smooth surface so it’s really hard to wipe out after writing even in a short time. I am so disappointed. IKEA was the good choice for kids before but things changed.
Christmas giftAnonymous reviewerI have looked at most of the easels available on the market for christmas,and this one stood out ,for its size value for money.and its versatility.I have purchased many extras like pens.aroll of drawing paper.paints.paint brushes chalks and a waterproof apron with sleeves.my grandson is 3.and I hope this will bring him ,many hours of fun and entertainment. Also I like that you can store it away easily when its not in use.
Easel board Anonymous reviewerBrought for Christmas present so haven't used yet but much bigger than I expected. Looks good quality and sure the kids will get lots of use out of it. I brought the pens, chalk and paper also for it.

Children’s easelAnonymous reviewerGood size
Blackboard excellent
White board needs a cloth with water to wipe off so not easy for toddlers so lower stars for this
Good value Anonymous reviewerGranddaughter loves it.
Disappointing Anonymous reviewerThis does not easily open and close for storage. You have to take the middle pieces off to close it, which are plastic so they’re at risk of breaking or getting lost every time it’s stored away. But the most disappointing thing is the white board. This is not a white board at all. We even purchased the dry erase markers from Ikea but the white board never wipes clean. Very frustrating
Chalk/white board easleAnonymous reviewerPerfect for my twin Grandsons 😍😍 they can comfortably share and have a side each. They love it and so do I 👍
Perfect easel for toddlersAnonymous reviewerPurchased as a drawing and art tool for our local toddler group. Fairly straightforward to assemble and has space for crayons and chalks on the lower part. Drawing paper roll fits nicely on the top.
Monday next will be the first group after the summer break and I’m sure that the littlies will love their new art space.

Story
For artists in all sizes
After more than 20 years in the range, the MÅLA easel is a real hero that millions of children have loved. But nothing is so good that it can’t be improved. So, we rolled up our sleeves and tweaked several important details. After that, we asked some parents what they thought of the prototype. Their input helped us make the easel even smarter.
“Through the years, we’ve got some comments on the easel. For example, that the paper roll was difficult to roll up, and that it was complicated to fold up and store away the easel,” tells Jorge Omar Santoyo Henaine, who works with product development at Children’s IKEA.
Good can get better
Easier to paint – and clean up
Parents appreciated that the tray for pens, brushes and paint is made of easy to maintain plastic instead of wood. But they thought it should be on both sides so two children can draw and paint at the same time. And one parent said: “My child spills and makes a mess, I want to be able to rinse the tray in the sink.” “It convinced us that it’s better if you can remove the trays. We want to make life simpler and more creative for both the children and their parents, and to succeed it’s crucial to involve them like we did that day in the store.”
