Artist's Set (2007-2009)

I have the 1999 easel set with the paints, but it is put away, so no photos. I also gave my DGD the 2007 Artist set, and I like mine much better. The 1999 version is all wood, which is a big plus in my opinion. Also it is bigger, sturdier, and not so difficlut to put up as the smaller one, which has problems when trying to get it to open up and STAND up, get the drawer to pull out, etc. The newer one is more trouble than it is worth IMHO. If you get a chance to get the 1999 easel, by all means get it.
