Would this work for an 8 year old? She is asking for an easel for Christmas but a lot of them are too small or too big.

It's a great easel because it adjusts! I bought it for my daughter when she was ten and put it on the highest height setting. Now five years later our younger daughter, age 4, is using it on the lowest height setting.

The easel is for holding a stationary painting. I would think maybe writing on a white board that size might make it collapse or move around a little unless you permanently brace it with another board. Good luck. Sorry I couldn't give you a definitive answer, being a primary teacher myself.

This is child sized. It would probably work for ages 2-8. I bought it for our preschool playground for a reading area and the children (and parents) love it! It is a huge hit. It is not only adorable but it is great quality too. I'd definitely recommend it. I do know they also have this on Zulily at the moment.

We got it for a 3 yr old. It worked good for him. So unless you have a short 8yr ok I would say yes it's too short.

An easel stand from amazon would work fine. It's also designed to hank from a ceiling with chain links.

I think it would make a wonderful gift for an 8 year old girl! Parents use this a month or two before Christmas to show the kids the elf is watching them and they put the elf in various poses and scenarios. Lots of fun and memories. Hope this helps :)

Probably not too big. I think it is great for 4-8 years old. My daughter just turned 5. She will be able to use for a few years at least.

The easel does not come with any accessories. You will have to buy them extra.

It's pretty small for an 8 year old my 3 year old used it. Yes he's the size of a 6 year old but it was great for a starter bow.

I would think so, my nieces are 5 and 8 and they love theirs. Though it is more than a year old at this point, you might consider investing a little more unless you are concerned about abuse.

Hi, I think I can help. You can angle the easel in folded position. And yes, you can size it down. It's a great product.

Absolutely. My grandsons are 6 & 8. Perfect for all kids who love to draw and create.

My 4 yr old is tall for her age and she fits well at the table currently. I have actually sat on the chairs with her and although its not ideal, it works (I'm 5'9"). I would be surprised it you didn't get at least 2-3 years out of it for your 8 yr old. Be prepared for some set up time to put it together - but other then that, it's been a great art table!

I am using this for art supplies stocked with water colors and oil paints and paper with an easel on top. this is the only one short enough to do that as one person said it was 30 inches. I am tight in space in my apartment so do yo think it will work for that and how hard to assemble? Is it really garbage. Any one know a better ome that would work?

8 might be a bit old unless she has expressed interest. It's pretty simple and low-tech so lends well to pretend play. I gave this to my 3 yr old granddaughter and she might be too young but she does a lot of pretend play with it when she does play with it.

This is a great easel for ages 4+. It has great storage capacity for art tools and materials, and is sized nicely for use by a budding artist!

I honestly would not by this for an 8 year old. I did let my daughter use it when she was 8 but she is on the smaller side. This was purchased for a 4 year old who is now about 5.5 and still uses it occasionally. I see it last MAYBE 2 more years before we pass it on.
