It’s hard to believe that they can make and ship this quality for so cheap. It’s very sturdy and fit and finish are top notch for this level.

So far this easel is siiiick. I love all the features it has. Everything is well thought out and the design’s attention to detail and ease of use is evident. Not sure if it was supposed to come with an instruction manual— it comes assembled in the box, but in its folded/collapsed position. You have to unscrew then rescrew some wingnuts and such to get it standing upright. Just took a few minutes. We were able to do it just from looking a pics of the easel online, and I’m sure my daughter will get faster at building and collapsing the easel when changing locations. All in all, I’m satisfied with this purchase.

I thank you Gods & Goddesses for putting up your photos & videos so I could put mine together. Lol. It is quite easy to do once you get the jist of it. I do have a nut that fell onto the floor upon unboxing that I have no idea where it is supposed to go! 😬 Eeek! I'll set it inside the drawer and wait until it tells me where it goes. Hopefully it is not too integral and I don't find out by having it collapse during an important painting. Thanks again for posting your videos people! Pretty good quality for a hundred bucks!

My wife and I started painting a little more than a year ago at a paint and wine type of place and enjoyed it so much that we decided to start doing at home as a hobby. We invested in all types of paints, (acrylic), brushes, and other various supplies and how to books. We also had purchased some small and inexpensive table tri pod easels. They worked ok, but as our skills improved, so did our equipment. I also wanted to be able to take it on the road so to speak and have the ability to paint outdoors. When I came across this French Style Easel it looked like the perfect item. I also read mostly positive reviews on these style easels and knew it was just what we needed.While I have not been able to go outdoors yet with winter weather, we have been using them inside now for a few months. And although they can be used on a table with the legs retracted, we have been free standing them. I like how they are very adjustable to accommodate various height positions, whether you prefer to stand or sit. Also the capability of holding a large selection of canvas sizes. The drawer inside is capable of holding an ample supply of items for outdoor use. It is also fairly lightweight and comes with a shoulder strap for easier carrying.The only negative thing I can point to is that as others have commented, the wing nuts and screws are a bit small and therefore when trying to make sure everything is tight, they can hurt your fingers a bit. Some people have said that they replaced them with larger types but I have yet been able to find adequate replacement hardware. But overall I we are quite pleased with these easels.

I bought this in a hurry so I could attend a plein air oil workshop. As soon as the artist-instructor saw it, he suggested I return it. Why? He said it's fine and will work well for me but I could have bought a half box size and it would be so much lighter to hike around with for plein air painting. He also suggested there were better quality french easels out there. I wish I'd known this info before purchase. In the end, I'm keeping this one because I used it all weekend and got paint on it. It will work fine for me as a beginning artist. If I ever again do long hikes to paint, I may seek out another solution, such as the "italian steel" easel with a pochade box that he used.On the plus side, this easel will work great as a standing easel in my studio, and I can convert it to table-top if I need to. I also like that this full-size french easel has more storage than the half box size.Tip: Make sure you tighten all the adjustable screws when you set it up so it doesn't collapse on you. I also like another reviewer's tip to replace all the wing nuts and keep spares on hand in case they get lost in the great outdoors. Finally, I found that keeping four clothespins with my paint supplies was essential to clip my palette upright or clip on rags and a trash bag. Another great thing to have would be a short bungee cord to use as a paper towel holder between the easel's two front legs.
