My 2 kids, aged 8 and 5, had a blast with this inflatable easel. It was easy enough to set up using my electric air pump. Takes a bit of time due to the sheer number of valves (was there 5 or 6?). But ... it's been over a month and we haven't had to reinflate. It's a great addition to the backyard toys because they love drawing and it's fun to do it outside. They also love getting to use the hose to clean up!! They've used multiple times already! I do highly recommend. Only taking 1 star off because you'll need to make sure you do have a spot to store. I certainly don't want to deflate every use to have to reinflate the next time. We do have a spot for it. Also, it should come with a tie down. A light breeze didn't affect it, but it will move or blow over with a stronger wind. Overally though... kids are loving it and they are the best reviewers!!

All 5 of my kids enjoyed playing with this. The set up was a little tedious, but not terrible and everyone was a bit impatient with that part. The biggest issue was the paint that came with it. The paints stained EVERYTHING! We ran to a store and grabbed Crayola washable paints, which worked just as well with a much easier clean up. The sponge stamps and paint brushes included in the kit were a big hit with the kids, and it was helpful to have those tools available. I also think the price might have been a little higher than I would typically spend for this product, especially since we don't feel the paints were good enough and needed to be replaced. I would be much more likely to recommend this of the paint was actually washable or if the price came down some.

We had a blast painting the double sided easel! It was a really easy set up. I tried using a hand pump but it was taking forever so I used my Halo Bolt with air compressor & just kept a close eye on it. It went super fast & it was ready for play! My son invited his friend over & she had a blast painting too! My only issue with the product is the stability. Anytime a breeze came through the easel started to move. I wonder if maybe some type of strap/steak would help to keep it in place so it doesn't tip. Over all I think it's great for summer fun!
