Although not the greatest for easy portability, the Best-Rite Nest Easel is a relatively inexpensive option for graphic facilitation space that combines whiteboard surfaces (either magnetic porcelain or melamine dry erase) with paper flipchart capability in a Euro-style, wheeled frame.
They're double-sided, making them ideal for creating breakout spaces, and include a marker tray on each side and a handy basket below the writing surface for storing other gear.
You'll need a truck if you plan to transport these to client sites
or conference centers, but the wheels, "nesting" feature, and light
weight tubular construction makes transportation and storage as
painless as possible.
Be sure to check out Discount Stores on the Internet, like http://www.sjgreatdeals.com/781.html for the best pricing. I own (24) of the melamine version and have found them to hold up well in use by both professional graphic facilitators and client participants.
Thanks, Leslie - they are commercially available via a number of online discount stores - check out http://www.sjgreatdeals.com/781.html

Tom, I thought your walls were terrific...great idea. Where did you find them or did you design them yourself?
