This easel is very easy to use. Clip top for the paper pads is great and I like the telescoping legs.
These quick-release presentation easels are so user friendly. No need to wind the telescoping legs.The standard Topps pads suggested for this easel are about 2 inches longer than where the bottom 2 "hooks" (in the picture) attach to the 2 legs on the Easel. Not an ideal setup, because the pads don't have stiff cardboard backing either so bottom supports would be better.
The top pad retainer has only 2 pegs to grab hold of the 3-hole-punch pad and the pegs aren't quite long enough to ensure the pads don't fall down while you're flipping pages.
You'd think the manufacturer would have thought of this application and made sure the easel had longer 3-hole pegs and tested a 27x34" pad to make sure the bottom rings were placed to support the pad.
(there's also no easy way to rig up anything to hold the pads from the bottom).
The top retainer plate you see in the picture has a strong spring (good) to pinch/hold paper or materials and is made of thin aluminum. It's edges are pretty sharp though watch it.
In normal use, I'd say the retainer probably could hold a full 27x34 pad set as long as you're consciously not pulling on the pad too much while writing on it. Might still return it.
If you're giving an important presentation, it's just one more thing to think about.I thought it was going to be versatile and I would be able to use with the easel pad as I saw pictures. I was wrong and I want to return.
