Darice 67-Inch Unfinished Sketch Easel

After I received this item, I realized upon opening up the package it arrived in that it did not have the right instructions to assemble the easel. The instructions detailed drilled holes and screws that the overall product did not have or was just plain lacking. After some overview I was able to put the easel together by going over the picture you see on display here. The easel is up now and displaying one of my art pieces in my art studio. Now I only bought this with the intention of only displaying my finished works, which I am okay with because the easel is far too flimsy for any work light or heavy to be completed on. You get what you pay for which is very true after I received this.

This may be cheap but unlike another review I just read.. (should read these before buying,) he had the screws but not the holes. I have the wholes but no screws or a chain or directions. I just have wood pieces and it would cost just as much to ship back so I am out the money I paid for it. I will never buy from this company again. If there were a way to contact the actual seller, it might be different but I needed this item for this weekend and now it is too late. This is the first item I have bought from Amazon that has left a bad taste in my mouth, so to speak.

Several of the pieces needed to assemble the easle were not included with the packaging. Luckily, my husgand was able to go to a hardware store to pick up the extra parts. It would haave been helpful to have the parts or to have a list of the parts needed ahead of time.

Very basic, exactly what I needed. You assemble it yourself, my husband did it very quickly. It was easy to assemble. It's very sturdy and worth what I paid. In the future I would like to upgrade to something stronger and bigger to hold more paints and bigger boards.

I spent hours trying to put it together with incomplete parts and one sided paper. I would rather build one from scratch. I am extremely disappointed.

American Easel Oak Antigo A Frame Easel-Golden Finish

My husband bought this easel for me.

The canvas holders on this easel do not hold securely. Even without any canvas, they are easily displaced. Completely unusable if you paint big with heavy duty stretchers. I have returned the easel. Easels that I got from Dick Blick under $100 work better than this.

I was a little concerned about this purchase because of the other review on this easel. However I have purchased other American Easel products in the past and have always received a quality product. I received my easel yesterday and it only took 5 minutes until I was using it. This easel is made from nice wood with a nice matte finish. Very sturdy and easy to adjust. Bottom gripper is a little stiff, but I'm sure it will loosen up with a little use. I am very pleased with both the quality and design of this easel and would recommend it to my friends.

I'm a professional artist and for whatever reason I prefer these light weight a-frame easels. I always feel crowded by larger bulkier easels. This easel came in perfect condition, no dents or scratches. There is no warping of the wood like there sometimes is with cheaper easels. Because there is no warping all parts are nice and tight like a new easel should be and move perfectly. A little bit of old english wood oil in some areas will allow easier adjustments just don't put wood oil over the wood the gripper presses against. The bottom gripper claps very tight with only a little bit of turning pressure. This easel can hold up heavier supports. You can hold small and large supports easily. Because I have a limited ceiling height I like the fact that you can adjust the lower holder independently from the mast so I can raise the lower holder up to my chest without running out of ceiling space.

The easel was very easy to put together, took me maybe 15 minutes. You will need a philips head screw driver or an electric one. They give you twelve self-drilling screws so using a regular hand held screw driver might be too difficult for some to drive the screws into the wood by hand. But the easel is simply constructed and the directions are simple and clear.

Most importantly for me they shipped to Hawaii for under 10 dollars a huge saving for me. Everywhere else for similar easels in size and weight wanted to charge about $150 in shipping. Where I live there is only one small art store that sells easels but all the employees in there act like your bothering them when you go in there to buy something, so I won't bother them. Thanks to this company for sending me this easel promptly, in good condition and at a reasonable shipping cost.

Aloha

The "LOBO" Easel

I purchased this easel for a small studio space that I'm building. It delivered on time and was well packaged. The easel was in excellent condition. Assembly instructions have something to be desired, and I would certaining suggest that the company spend a little more time in this department. Once assembled, (took about 20 minutes), I was pleased that the easel was a solid piece of studio furniture. Mine is sitting on a heavy canvas tarp on carpet, and it is very stable on this rather springy surface. The easel design is nice allowing the canvas space to move in just about whatever angle you need to have a comfortable painting experience. I especially like that it lays flat so if I wanted to, I could use it as a table when sketching my work onto canvas. This is the perfect easel for the space I have it in.

I bought 2 of these, one for myself, the other for my best friend that introduced me to painting. We both love them! It's incredibly easy to use, light weight but sturdy. The inside provides just enough space for some paints and commonly used brushes. I like to take this to my local coffee shop and set it up on the outside tables, it's perfect!

The artist easel desktop is good for taking up small space at home or for travel. the inside storage compartment is good for storing your drawing or painting tools.

Initially I was wary because before I even opened the shipping box, I heard rattling. So I thought, "Great, I received a broken item." However, I discovered the rattle was simply caused by two wingnuts and two washers loose inside the paintbox which were not contained inside a plastic baggie. The workmanship quality, after a thorough inspection, was so much higher that I expected for such a low price. And the size is perfect for my workspace. It's constructed out of unfinished wood which I plan to stain as it's too nice to hide away. This easel is definitely going on my gift list for my creative friends!
