Built to last
An excellent product, quality wood and well constructed. Easy to put up, multiple positions of work possible. I found all the fittings easy to adjust, lock and unlock. The wheels, handle and straps all facilitate easy moving. I found it is a fairly light item to carry if you need to. I just can't accept the one moaning review that appears above. I can only highly recommend this easel.
A sturdy Jenny
I had wanted to get one for some time and I’m glad I finally did. While set up requires your initiative, I like the solidity of the build and the simple fact that it’s modular build allows for it to be stored away, flat. I often use it with my drawing board and I must say the backing spine poses an issue initially, but a simple solution is to work with an apron so you can rest your work on your laps (as a bonus, your back posture is much better that way). Highly recommended for all artists.
Poorly Designed
I recently purchased and I must say that I instantly disliked this product. It is cumbersome, awkward to handle, and worst of all, it is very poorly designed. The easel mast does not sit flush with the channel that it slides into. Therefore your drawing board or painting wobbles when working on it. the top and bottom clamps that hold it into place, do not add enough friction. to keep it steady. The mast's clamps are poorly designed as well: there is no lip or dado cut to help keep you canvas, board, etc into place. These things are very easy to miss based on the photos. I also do not like how wide the seat is, and the edges of the bench are sharp. I had to sand them down to soften the edges. This thing is way to much work to fix. I will give it/throw it away. 0 stars.

Great quality. Arrived quickly. Just brilliant
Review
The product is excellent, however the spine of the easel can’t be stored inside the donkey. Also a locking mechanism for the legs would be useful allowing for it to be moved very short distances without folding. Small issues, overall the easel is excellent, I particularly enjoy the length on the seat to rest my palette. Thank you.
Review
Great product - I have bad knees so I was able to work longer by sitting down that I usually can standing at my regular easel.
Review
I love this easel, it's just a bit heavy to move around for me. Once I'm in postion it is just the perfect way for me to get creative in the garden.
