Quartet 300TE Quartet Reversible Mobile Presentation Easel, Dry-Erase, 30 x 41, Neutral Frame

Quartet 300TE Quartet Reversible Mobile Presentation Easel, Dry-Erase, 30 x 41, Neutral Frame
  • Total Erase® reversible small mobile presentation easel has two dry-erase surfaces, flip chart pad holders and four casters.
  • Just a simple flip doubles your writing space - double-sided easel features two Total Erase® surfaces.
  • Rotate the board for additional writing space on reverse side.
  • Surface is perfectly angled for comfortable writing and viewing.
  • Total Erase® writing surface will not stain or ghost and has a subtle grid pattern.

I think the positive features of this dry erase board are exhaustively covered by the official description. It's big enough for my daily todo list, today's appointments, call list and some reminders. I have one next to my computer station (which is on Anthro cart, also wheeled) and this is so much better than having post-it notes around my screens. Every time I take a break, or get a cup of tea, I look at the board and it reminds me of what else I need to do today. Things just get into my eyes better and more often. That's what the reminder is about.

The strength of this product is that I can flip the board when I have a client coming to my studio (I'm a photographer). I can also roll it around in my studio, depending on where I want to sit each day.

Now negatives. There are several.

The board itself is plastic film on particle board. I don't know how durable it is in a heavily booked meeting room. The board had several deep scratches and small dents already when I opened the package. Upon single writing-erasing cycle, the scratch already turned into a dark line. The board is not magnetic.

The metal frame is of reasonable quality, but some parts were poorly machined and assembled. One of the screw didn't tighten because of the wrong hole size. Frame is painted but somehow one column had rust on it, which I couldn't wipe away. The other column had dents on it. The flip chart hooks and their counterpart holes on the board had wrong sizes I had to force them in very hard.

The caster wheels included in this product are pieces of junk. These are the worst casters I ever saw. You can pull or push the frame and they don't even point the right direction to roll. So you will have heavy friction and some noise from the floor. These casters don't have bearings or nylon parts. These are plastic junk. These casters have screw stems attached so you can buy better casters from third parties anyway.

After all, the concept and the design of the product are pretty good, but you don't have to look closely to tell the parts are made from cheap materials and without good craftsmanship. When it comes to rust, scratches, dents and other quality issues, this product it terrible. The build/strength is only slightly better than Ikea standard. At this price, I did not intend to buy a "disposable" item but I feel a bit like that's what I got. That's why I don't give it 5-stars.

Liquitex Basics 48- Ultra Acrylic and Easel Set

Liquitex Basics 48- Ultra Acrylic and Easel SetTHis is such a GREAT PRODUCT for a Christmas Present!!! I purchased it for my mother because she wants to get into painting once again and she loves the present!!! We haven't did any paintings yet, but we will after Christmas:) I didn't purchase it for myself because I already have all of the paints, brushes, and easel that I purchased separately... It MAY SOUND EXPENSIVE INITIALLY, but anyone who paints know that ANYTHING purchased for painting CAN BE EXPENSIVE!!! This is actually a pretty good deal for everything that you get!!! I have painted for many years using oils & acrylics (now I just use acrylics), but I have always used Grumbachers & Liquitex for my projects:) I REALLY PREFER Liquitex because at least the tubes that I purchased were easier to open and the paints were equally vibrant:) Anyhow, I think that this is a GREAT & REASONABLY PRICED PRODUCT OVERALL!!!

Quartet Aluminum Heavy-Duty Telescoping Display Easel, Black Finish (56E)

Quartet Aluminum Heavy-Duty Telescoping Display Easel, Black Finish
  • Benefit from the support of the heavy-gauge aluminum tripod easel with 1" tubular steel telescoping legs that extend from 38" to 66".
  • Slide the adjustable display holders to customize height.
  • Ensure stability of the display with locking cross-braces.
  • Support up to 45 lbs. of display weight.
  • Secure a flipchart with the optional attachable pad retainer (product numbers 50T and 51T).

I bought to hold up a large white board which would normally wall-mount, but my office arrangement doesn't provide that opportunity. So, I have large, heavy item on easel which can be whisked away to closet storage or displayed for conceptual thinking work as needed. Glad I got the "heavy duty" version since writing on the board requires a steady support.

I bought this for outside marketing events. Previously I had a flimsy tripod and really wanted something that would stand up against the wind (being in Colorado). This was fantastic! you can adjust the legs so adjust the height, it as sturdy and it held up against the wind. Love it!

I've had this Quartet easel for a few months now holding up a flipchart for a few hours once a month. I was initially disappointed to see it uses twist-locks on the legs, but I thought it would only be an annoyance. Wrong. Despite being careful/gentle with my twists, the 2nd time I used it and tried to collapse the legs when done, I needed to use pliers to loosen the twist-lock on one leg. And now, a month later pliers wouldn't even work to loosen and collapse TWO of the legs.

Note: Prior to this one I had the lighter weight version that used cam click locks for the legs. I loved that one, but I lost it somehow and THOUGHT I'd be upgrading to get this heavier-duty version. Boy was I wrong.

I bought three easels to replace several we have at my workplace that are broken. Two of the three easels I received from Amazon were not property assebled as the rivets that hold the back leg to the top piece were not attached to the back leg, rendering the tripod easel worthless. The two replacements I received did not have this problem but I would warn customers that Quartet's quality control is lacking. For such expensive easels this was a disappointment.

This item is exactly as it is described. It has a better than normal weight capacity while still being attractive. The black finish "disappears" better than the silver aluminum. It is extremely easy to set up, and the price was better than any display-specific sites I visited. It was delivered very quickly with regular no-cost shipping. Go get 'em while they last. This is a real bargain. Don't waste your money on those lightweight easels offered at Office stores. You get what you pay for.

Desktop Artist Easel - Wooden Portable Compact Stand - Student Drawing Painting

Desktop Artist Easel - Wooden Portable Compact Stand - Student Drawing PaintingI 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!

Art Advantage Rice Paper 100 sheets-Pack

Art Advantage Rice Paper 100 sheets-PackI bought this rice paper for printmaking and other art projects. It's beautiful and has a nice quality to it. I'll buy it again, and will recommend it to friends. Thank you for great service and a wonderful product.

Very good paper and fast shipping. But, it was not what I needed! It is Rice Paper but you can't eat it, so I bought the Waffle Paper. I hope it is the correct one this time.
