Easy to use and set up, it's large and can deal with like any size. The modular nature of it makes it able to deal with canvases that are like way too massive for it. Doesn't feel too cheap and holds up well against damage. It doesn't slide all over the place due to rubber pads. The only complaint is that when painting the bottom part of a canvas is slightly obscured by the metal part holding it and preventing it from falling. A simple fix to this would have been to add rubber parts to the ledge and remove the edge of the metal part. I suppose if you are handy enough you could fix it yourself with glue and a knife. Or I just rotated the canvas... Anyways that was a pretty heavy nitpick for a Easel that does better than 90% of Easels on Amazon. It's pretty cost effective so might as well get this one. Read more
So funny story. I have been taking an art class for the last decade, and about 5 or 6 years ago, I got into oil painting. I would cart a whole mess of things to class with me, like a folding tabletop easel that also held my paints, a stay-wet type palette, an artist toolbox that held brushes and my mediums, and also a boxed up canvas panel. Which meant a LOT of things to carry to and from class. A couple weeks ago, I had added a nice glass jar with a metal coil inside for cleaning brushes, only it was a large jar and didn't fit into any of the things I was carrying with me. First night I brought this jar to class with me, it fell to the ground as I was leaving and broke, spilling my turpenoid all over. Knew then and there I needed to find a new setup that would hold everything and make it easier for transporting things to class. I ended up finding a Milwaukee brand rolling tool chest that I tricked out with some customized storage boxes for paints and brushes, and also for all my mediums (including a replacement for the broken brush cleaning jar). With everything in a compact space, I knew I would also need to replace my easel with something that could be folded down pretty compact, and this item fit the bill. Fairly easy to set up and take down, it fits into the tool chest perfectly. I have a smaller chest setup for my pastel supplies that I plan to order a second easel to add to. Good product for a good price. Highly recommend. Read more
A little tricky on the instructions, but it's the Perfect easel for someone who doesn't have much room but want to keep it easily at hand. It also adjusts heights smoothly so you can set it on a table, or on the floor while you're sitting, or standing up. It's also a nice beginner's easel if you're testing for a new painting hobby!! The main downfall is the top clip holds thick canvas not thin canvas but you can use a thick piece of cardboard with a thumbtack or something to hold the thinner canvas onto the easel Read more
Positive: They're compact, adjustable height, they come with a nice carrying case, and are lightweight, super easy to store. It also has rubber swivel feet that work with all types of flooring or counters. The only downside for us, was that we didn't like that the bottom bar, where the poster board or canvas sits on is loose and not attached the the actual easel. Although it does have a strap with a small piece of Velcro, it isn't very functional. Otherwise, the bar itself works fine and holds up the board perfectly. Read more
Amazing little easel! It’s light enough to move around but durable enough that my dogs don't break it! The value it presented was tremendous as well as it holding multiple size paintings and folding up easy as pie with the provided instructions inside the sleek carrying case! Read more
Very flimsy , not straight or aligned so you have to bend the leg. Gets the job done though Read more
