Title: Nice easel but chalkboard needs work
Product review: Nice easel except for the chalkboard but I solved that problem. First, I did have to prime it many times using the Melissa & Doug Jumbo chalk. What priming basically does is it sands the board down so that it will be easier to write. Second, I realized that the chalk my child was using on it was horrible. For priming the Melissa & Doug Jumbo chalk is fine but not for actually writting with it. The M&D; dustless multicolored chalk is better but what really worked on this chalkboard is thisDIX61400 - Prang Hygieia Dustless Board Chalk, 3-1/4 x 3/8, Assorted, 12 Sticks/Box. These Prang chalks has vibrant colors, they write really smoothly and thickly and they are of great quality.
