Martin Van Dyck Wooden Artist Easel

An excellent easel for use on tables. Holds large canvas. Adjustable angles. Well made. Drawer holds all my painting knives and brushes. Folds up to carry to art class.

First, I must say I'm disappointed with Amazon in regard to the packing and shipping of this easel. It came to me in it's original package, untaped and with the top flap completely open leaving the easel and styrofoam exposed. Not a single piece of tape. Seriously Amazon? Seriously?

Now on to the easel itself.....

I use this tabletop easel mainly for drawing. Since it doesn't have a solid back, you have to modify it a bit if you aren't using this easel to paint on a canvas. I've been securing a sketchboard as though it were a canvas. The sketchboard then is what actually holds my paper in place. It works.

The drawer holds graphite pencils, charcoal, erasers, sandpaper block, rulers, and suchjust as it would hold brushes and other tools a painter would require. I'm not crazy about the way my pencils slide around (it could potentially mean an increase in lead breakage) but I realize it wasn't designed for pencils.

Parts of this easel could be better quality. For instance, the hardware is really just gold painted plastic (or very light weight/flimsy metalI can't be sure), and, on my easel, the drawer doesn't line up perfectly preventing the clasps that are suposed to keep it locked from truly locking shut. The briefcase type handle is really just heavy cardboard wrapped in a sort of leather looking material. With time and the weight of the easel (and it's contents), I wonder will it bend or break? That remains to be seen.

But for now, I have to admit that, even though there is room for improvement, this easel does what I need it to do and it was fairly inexpensive. It would have cost me much more for an easel without these few, and relatively insignificant, flaws. Overall, I was quite pleased to find a tabletop easel at Amazon and I'm happy with what I got for the price that I paid.
