Buy Bob Ross 2-in-1 Metal TV Easel Now
I've been wanting to get into painting for a while now, I finally took the plunge. I found several problems with this easle.1. The board that is supposed to hold the material came snapped at the point it is supposed to rest on the eisle contacts. This makes the side you'd probably put your brushes on useless. Obviously I don't want to package the entire thing back up and send it back, so I'm going to just glue a strip of plywood on the bottom or something to re-enforce it. This also gives me reservations about putting a bucket of paint thinner in the bucket slot as I'm now thinking the other side is going to snap easily as well. I certainly hope that doesn't happen when I first go to use it.
2. Complex. The thing isn't pull out of the box and you're ready to go. You have to assemble it with various nuts and bolts. It's not easy to put away either. IE Fold it up and put it in the corner. I live in an apartment where room is limited and I don't want it sitting around all day. So easy put up and take down is nescissary in my situation.
3. It's heavy. This can be a good thing and a bad thing. I tend to lean more towards the good.
4. Tall. While yes it's true you can adjust the hieght of this easel, it comes at its lowest setting. And let me tell ya, this thing isn't low. For me it's about perfect. I'm a little over 6 feet tall. With it set at the lowest setting, the top of the easle will always be over my head and I'll never have to bend down. If I were to raise it any I'd proably have a hard time reaching to paint the sky :) But I can see this being a problem for those shorter than I.Not a bad product. Fairly easy to put together except when mating the easel with the stand. It takes a little finesse to get it to go in. Not as sturdy as I would like but a couple of sand bags ought to take care of that. But for the price, not bad.I opened this product & a piece of it was broken, also the paint was chipped, it looked like it was used, & when I set it up, it wobbled all over the place. Def not what I expected!
