One of my roommates is an artist who is working through some things. She just moved from a bad situation and and does not have a lot of her art things. After I ordered this for her I found out that she did not like, Her previous easel which was a different brand. I was concerned that She wouldn't like this based onThose statements.Immediately when she got it she was amazed at how small it folded down and how portable it was. She started talking About painting in the Park and other places she likes to go.After assembling it she commented on how much she liked it. She said that she preferred it to her old wooden one, And that she thought she would use it a lot.I watched as she teared up and started wipingHer eyes. This easel is probably the best purchase I've made all week.Well I don't know a whole lot about Easels I do know a bit about tripods. I would say that this easel has Moderately sturdy construction, The legs are aluminum, but the hard plasticIs probably a week point.I was also impressed with The versatility. This easel should be able to handle giant Canvases, And should be adjustable for people of almost any height.Because it's so light, it's not very sturdy and will fall down if you're not careful.Easy to useI have 12 of these for my photography exhibits.They are well designed and easy to set up.I highly recommend this item!To say this is cheaply made is a huge understatement,. It broke before I was able to even use it. I pulled out the legs, and on one section I guess I pulled a little too hard. The leg came right out, small pieces fell on the floor, and I was never able to get it back in and stay in place (I tried). Was past return date, so $28 right down the toilet. Buyer beware.UPDATE: I was able to get the little piece that feel out back in, and I can get the leg clip to work now. But I still think it's pretty cheaply made, but upped my stars from 1 to 3 : )Not a lot to brag about. It gets the job done. The arms are a bit unsteady if fully extended, but otherwise it’s well worth the purchase.Easy to put together, easy to use, sturdy, lightweight and portable. Easy to adjust height from tabletop to 67" tall. Best easel I've found at this price. Well worth the money. I highly recommend.This easel is exactly what I was looking for! It is extremely well made - the leges and adjustment hardware is sturdy and they connect well. I had purchased a similar easel locally but the materials were so cheap, and it was so poorly made it broke within a week. The difference between that one and this one are very apparent and the were similar in price.I bought this for painting. I usually like to sit on the floor while I paint, so I'm happy that this easel is so adjustable. The height range is really good. I also found it very easy to assemble; and it's easy to setup and take down again to move around or put away. The little carry bag is also handy for storage. It's very light-weight so is easy to move around if you want, but I still find it sturdy enough to use for painting. The 'foot' angle on each leg is even adjustable to accommodate for uneven terrain!preso come regalo per principianti. Spedizione e imballo perfetti, piuttosto leggero ma sembra di buona fattura.I bought this easel to display family photos on a cork board for our upcoming family Christmas party.It is exactly what I wanted and will look great on the day.It is lightweight and packs away easily in to a small bag. Won't take up space when in storage until further use. Very happy with my purchase.Its practical. The back leg doesnt extend out all that much so It can be a little flimsy.One of the clips were broken on arrival. Unable to set up.
