Kids Art Table and Chair Set vs Step2 Great Creations Art Center

Buy the Step2 Great Creations Art Center for a young child who wants to paint and draw standing up: its double-sided easel, chalkboard surface and molded cubbies are built for messy art play. Buy the wooden 4-in-1 set if you want furniture that doubles as a study desk and storage bookcase and will blend into a bedroom. The Step2 is all plastic and rated to 75 lb, while the wooden set uses MDF and pine, holds 132 lb per chair and seats 2-3 children at the table. Step2 owners rate it 4.4 out of 5 across 143 ratings; the wooden set is the sturdier, longer-lasting piece of furniture.

• Choose the wooden 4-in-1 art table and chair set if you want a study and craft desk with a bookcase that seats two or three children and looks like bedroom furniture.
• Choose the Step2 Great Creations Art Center if your child prefers a standing easel with a chalkboard and you want wipe-clean plastic that shrugs off paint and water.
