My daughter is 8 and wants an easel like this. I don't want to spend more money on an adult one that is too big.... but is this going to be too small?

I don't think so, but it would probably need to be adjusted in the highest setting.

There are three settings for the height of both sides of the easel so I would guess it is just right. Be aware that the legs are a bit spindly and one of mine arrived split.

I don't think so. My daughter is also 8 and this is still a perfect size easel for her. The primary colors of the trays and the clips may make it seem slightly more "kiddie", but it's very sturdy and tall enough. I still paint/draw with my daughter on it :-). It's also survived a couple of moves. Hope that helps!

This would be a good size for an 8 year old. At its highest height, it works for my 7, 9 and 11 year old. You can adjust the height as she grows as well.

It has 3 adjustable sizes, so I would think one of the sizes will work for your daughter.

I purchased this for my daughter right around 1 yr old and she has not been that into it. I do think it is a bit advanced. My 6 yr old likes to play with it. I think your daughter would enjoy it now and for a bit to come. It is rather small, which I prefer. It doesn't take up a lot of room, yet it has a lot of activities.

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.

I think it would be great for drawing/doodling! I got mine and I LOVE it. And I'm by no means a professional. Comes with two fairly easy to use programs/software. It takes a few days to get used to, because you aren't looking at the tablet when you draw, but once you get the hang of it, it works like a charm! I think it'd be a great gift for your daughter, especially if she wants to get more into digital art. :D

In my case, I purchased two of them for my grandkids (and they love them). They could be fine for a small adult but I would have to say they are more suited for children.

I would say yes it is too small. It's not very high. Unless she is very petite. It's very nice though.

Yes, I called my daughter who has been using this easel (Xmas present) for the past three years and loves it. She was at work and said it would handle a taller canvas (36"+). But since she was working, she couldn't measure it for the maximum height. PS: Since I purchased the easel, I looked up the old purchase order, and it says it supposed to open up to 44" vertically within the description.

My daughter is 8 and we got the middle one. And that is fine for her size. I think the small one would be way too small for your daughter as it seems to be for pre school aged kids.

I purchased this easel last Christmas for my 9 yr old twins. However, I think my 3 yr old son now loves it and uses it more often than they do! It will definitely work for a 3 yr old and last them for years to come!

It is fairly large as far as children's easels go. My daughter is tall for 7 and it is perfect for her. I think a 9 year old could without a problem.

It works no different than my adult one, and the adult brushes attach just fine to this one. in fact it is almost the exact same size. I think the only truly kid feature is the pretty colors, and stars etc. It is also great for teaching the grand kids how to use it (just use a different brush attachment for sac one- label Joe-Joe, or Marie or Sylvie so they know whose is whose). From one Grandma to another...

I have a small 8 yr old girl and it is good. She wanted to do tricks. And I knew her dad would be showing her so I tried to find something that would stand up to him and be small enough for her. If he is active, I would say yes.

this guitar is bulky for me and i'm 5'5 and weigh 125 pounds. so for an 8 yr. old, its gonna be big. big n bulky. but for an adult its good/not full size, but close to full size. i would get an 8yr.old the 'amigo' guitar. the Am30 or Am15 model. it's better n much easier to handle n learn on.

He never used it as easel, don't know. He used as a dssk agin no measurement but there was adequate room for him to "do his projects" with his supplies spread for his reach. He enjoys it. Was good buy for him. don't know if this helps. Desk is not in my home.

emily , my opinion is 7 or 8 year old is in need of a more mature wooden desk , this step 2 desk is ideal for my 2 year old grandaughter, she loves working with her coloring book and crayons and 1 2 3 and the abc blocks,,, i would say the step 2 desk i have is for a child to the age of 5,i'm sure amazon can help you choose the correct desk for a 8 year old,the 8 year old's are using larger desk in school today,,,,i hope i did help,,,,,

I don't think it'll be too small. My 2yo likes to walk around playing with the power tools, my 4yo likes to play with everything & my 7yo likes to build using the shapes as well as drill things.

The easel measures 10"x13". (It is smaller than I expected.) A 16"x20" canvas fits, but hangs over edges. Canvas any larger would probably not be very secure.
