On the purchase order
A preschool art wall takes one standing easel, written as paint, whiteboard or chalkboard.
If the A-frame feet eat the walkway, the line changes to a hexagon art table and the standing easel comes off.
Send the floor plan, the ages and the opening date. Production is 30–45 days after the drawing is frozen, and a classroom package is commonly 10–14 weeks door to door.
A paint easel for a preschool is a line on the room drawing, not a classroom-theme prop. West Shore Furniture builds the three A-frames below in Dalian. The job of this page is to pick the one that matches the wall you already have, then freeze that choice with the tables and storage.
The wet wall itself is drawn on the preschool classroom layout. The hexagon art table, when the easel will not fit, is on preschool tables and chairs. This page does not repeat those layouts. It only decides which easel goes on the sheet.
Three easels, three jobs
The three pieces share an A-frame and do not share a use. Write the job on the line, or the factory will not know which face to build.
| Line on the drawing | Use it when | Do not use it when |
|---|---|---|
| Paint easel with six colour cups | The wall is the wet art wall and paint has to stay off the reading rug | The room has no washable wall and no floor that can take drips |
| Whiteboard easel with a marker tray | The group marks and wipes, away from water | You need paint cups. A marker tray is not a paint well |
| Large pine chalkboard easel | One group shares a bigger chalk face | The clear floor is only wide enough for the smaller cup easel |
One room, one standing easel, unless two art groups work at the same time and the plan shows two clear spots. A second easel parked in the circulation path is the usual mistake.
The feet decide whether it fits
An A-frame is deeper than the board. The feet stand forward of the wall. A plan that only marks “art” on the elevation does not show that depth.
Measure the clear floor in front of the wet wall, not the wall length alone. The factory writes the foot depth on the drawing you freeze. Where that depth takes the walkway the licence counts as circulation, the standing easel comes off the list and the art moves to the hexagon art table, which sits on its own footprint.
Leftover millimetres stay as a gap. They are not a reason to squeeze a second easel against a door or a cot. If the gap is wide enough for a low shelf, that shelf is a separate line. If it is not, it stays empty.
Put the easel on the same drawing as the rooms
Name paint, whiteboard or chalkboard, and mark the clear floor in front of the wall. On a four-room indoor list, that classroom package commonly sits at $30,000–$55,000. The easel is one line on that list.

- Which of the three easels, in those words.
- The clear floor in front of the wall, so the feet can be checked.
- The age of the room. An infant room does not get a standing paint easel as its art.
- Whether paint is allowed on that wall. If it is not, the line is the whiteboard or the hexagon table.
- The opening date, so this easel is cut with the rest of the rooms.

Conclusion
Pick the easel by the job and by the floor in front of the wall. Paint with cups stays on the wet wall. Whiteboard stays dry. The larger chalkboard needs more floor. If the feet will not fit, order the hexagon art table instead.

FAQ
How many paint easels does one preschool room need?
One standing easel, unless the plan shows two art groups with two clear spots. A second easel in the walkway is not a second art area.
Can the paint easel sit in the middle of the room?
The cup easel belongs on the wet wall, where drips stay off the reading rug. A whiteboard can sit off that wall. A paint easel in the middle of a carpeted room is the wrong line.
What if the wall is too short?
The factory checks the foot depth against the clear floor you mark. If the feet take the walkway, the standing easel comes off and the art table takes the line.
Does the easel ship with the tables?
Yes, when it is on the same drawing and the same opening date. It is one line inside the classroom package. Minimum order quantity varies.
Do you supply a safety certificate for the easel?
Test reports are matched to the piece and the destination when the drawing is frozen. There is no brand certificate that covers every market.
