Art Easel Stand for Painting and Sign - RRFTOK Aluminum 66 Inch Metal Tripod Adjustable Portable Easels for Display - Canvas Stand for Table Top Floor Drawing for Artists Adult Holder or Teen

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I was very skeptical upon reading reviews but I do not intend to use this with large canvases, more for plein aire. Obviously this is light aluminum which means the metal can bend if it is used too roughly, but this is exactly as described. If it is too lightweight and it gets blown over in a wind, I suggest people buy an easel hammock which Velcros to all three legs and you fill with rocks or weigh down with your extra supplies. I also purchased an additional light weight plastic tray to attach to hold things for me. I will say the bag it comes with doesnt fit everything without some shuffling, but it's doable. This is a very rudimentary set up for outside artistry. My easel, collapsible stool, extra tray, and easel hammock all cost less than $50. On its own, it's perfect for indoor easy use. Weight:Light for packing

I am really happy with this easel. It is very light weight and easy to assemble. It comes with a carrying case and can easily be taken to a park or the beach. I love that I can either stand and paint/create or use it as a tabletop easel and sit. The height of the easel can be adjusted to suit a person who is around 5'10" or shorter comfortably (my estimate). It may not be as comfortable for someone taller, hence using it on a tabletop and sitting. The legs are easy to adjust, but the piece that the canvas sits on is a bit more tricky to adjust and may be a bit difficult to get perfectly horizontal (level). Storage is easy, it can fit in a tote or even a cabinet.

Probably the most solid easel I have ever come across. The biggest downside is that its not very tall. It is adjustable and you can put it on top of a table to gain some height. But a very nice easel

My wedding picture is heavy and this easel holds it with no issues

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Easy setup and good quality. Ease of use:Easy to setup abd take down Height:Has a variety of height settings Build quality:Nice and sturdy

As described, easy assembly, nice case.

The instructions were obviously written by someone for whom English is not their first language. Some instructions make no sense at all..."Unbutton the clip,Caught the pad buckle spring clip" Yes, that's what it says and how it says it, right down to the punctuation, capitalization, and spacing. Based on accompanying photo, I think it means release the clip, adjust the spring loaded clip so you can catch the top of your canvas in it, then refasten the clip. Having never used an easle before, I had no idea how to put it together and really needed the instructions. It doesn't seem to be very heavy-duty, but then it wasn't very expensive either. Since I just need it to hold up a piece of foam core for a demonstration, it should be fine. Not sure this is what I would want to use all the time, but for my purposes, I needed something light weight and portable, and fairly inexpensive, so this meets those requirements. Just wish the instructions were clearer.

It's sturdy, looks good, versatile
