2yuck yuck yuck  Jan 30, 2006
By Tracy "ArtTeacher"
My fiance got me this for Christmas and while it was a VERY sweet thought this easel is awful! The three unsupported legs make it unstable and since EVERYTHING is adjustable it is difficult to make it level. Expect to get out a level EVERYTIME you want to set it up. It is usable but not very convenient. As a former art student and art teacher I have seen and used many types of easels. You are better off with something with more support for the legs and less things to adjust which may not be as portable but better to use.

3Not bad for the price.  Feb 03, 2006
By Phong Nguyen
Like the review below stated, this easel is a little wobbly. It doesn't close easily because of some missalignments. The wood is also of subpar quality. I've looked at alot of french easels and the more expensive ones just have better wood and I assume the parts are aligned better. I'm going to mainly use this on the road and don't really need super stability so I'm pretty happy with it. If you want something that will last a long time however, I would suggest spending a bit more for a better model.

This easel is very compact and easy to store. The adjustable legs make for the perfect hight and the price is right. This is a wonderful bargain.

1You can do better.  Aug 21, 2008
By Margaret
I bought this easel after reading so many rave reviews. This easel is even recommended by some well know plein air artists. I have to say... I just don't get it. The quality is poor and the easel is unstable. How anyone paints on it is a complete mystery to me.

4Works but some of the bolts are crooked.  Feb 28, 2011
By Andrew Pungprakearti
The easel is pretty good. It is everything I wanted and more. I can keep all of my paints inside the drawer even when I fold it and put it away. The legs are all adjustable and easy to setup. The only thing I don't like about the easel is the bolts. The bolts are used to secure the legs in place. Some of them came crooked on the threaded part and I can't get them to go on correctly. They still work the way they are, but I just wish they sat flush. My thumbs hurt after tightening the bolts a few times also. It could just be because I as a wuss though. Also, there are no instructions so I had to figure out how to open it up into an easel myself. Not that difficult, but would've been better with instructions. Overall, I am very happy with the easel and it is perfect for what I use it for.
