But for my 30 year old son an artist and LOVED it...Comes with case and adjusts sizes for table or stand up. Great item!!!!!I bought this easel for my granddaughter although after seeing the actual product, I would buy one for myself. You can't beat this in terms of price and quality. To begin, this floor easel comes in a surprisingly compact box. (Easy to fold up and carry.) The first thing you notice on opening the box is the delicious smell of polished wood. Set up is easy. It will hold a medium to large canvas tightly. The storage drawer has plenty of room for supplies and the included pallet. My granddaughter was thrilled to receive to receive the Pro Art French Box Easel. The product is inexpensive compared to others on the market but it is well made. One criticism: I'm not sure how stable the legs will be outdoors since the fasteners don't tighten well and tend to slip.I am very happy with my purchase. My 20 something daughter is serious about her art and she likes the easel. It easily holds a large canvas. It is easy to set up and quite sturdy. It will also be simple to transport, although she has not taken it anywhere yet. A really nice easel for the price.Guerrilla Painter Plein Air Packer

Artists Easel Holds Large Canvases But Folds Up without Removing Any Components

He paints on large canvases and this is very sturdy and well-built. Also, it was relatively easy to put together. One slight issue is that the directions were not well-written at all and we just figured out how to do it by looking at it and some experimentation.
However, the two "arms" that are supposed to extend so you can rest a pallate on them were useless. They need to be shorter in order to connect properly to the stand and be usable. Either they need to be cut/shortened, or not used at all. And, as afore-mentioned, the directions were useless. Sigh.
Overall, great stand except for the pallate holder. But that's not really necessary, so it's still a good stand.
Lastly, you really can't beat the price which is about half of any other decent easel out there.Purchased for my fiance as a gift and he calls it perfection. He's using it as I write this. We both definitely recommend this product! Enjoy!

Deluxe Wood Easel

If I had a choice in the matter, I would definitely have gone with a different company, but, alas, my mother-in-law did not read my review. To clarify, the easel we received was not exactly the one pictured. They have the same product number, but ours is "B" instead of "A".
I did have an open mind to start, but it became closed when I tried to assemble the thing. Two problems: the trays that you attach are supposed to have plastic washers so you can fold them up, but because they drilled holes with wells in them, the washers lie flush with the wood, and therefore do not do the job. Not only that, now there is a space on either side that must be filled with an extra washer (or 2, I don't know). I'm sure the company will send me some, but not in time for Christmas.
The second problem is more frustrating. The easel is supposed to open up to stand better and fit a tray at the base. However, because of the way the hinges are attached at the top, and the supporting pieces are not rounded at the top, it DOES NOT open more than 30 degrees or so.
And let me add that this is an expensive product, one that you would expect to be made with more attention to quality and detail. For that reason, I feel I can be more pointed in my criticisms.
I will add that I don't know if the kids will like it or care about what I will have to do to the thing to make it work. But, in conclusion, I would seriously think twice about ordering from this company.
I hope this is helpful.
ADDENDUM: Fast-forward one year. Kidkraft was decent enough to send a replacement easel top that had the requisite change in angle, so it was wider. HOWEVER, and this is unbelievable to me, sorry to sound so persistently negative, the holes were completely different from the rest of the pieces, so it could not be assembled with the original!!!
I tried to "make do," attaching the legs to the outside instead of the inside, using only 1 screw instead of 2, foregoing the possibility of ever adjusting the height, and settling for the bottom rack not fitting squarely on the bottom. Nonetheless, the 2 trays cannot fit because the legs are now on the outside, and the top paper roll holder cannot be switched because those screw-holes are also completely different.
SO, my options: Stick with the original configuration, with no bottom tray, and a precarious easel that can easily topple on my kids; OR, have a more stable easel, with no paper roll holder and no trays to hold supplies.
What would you do?I researched many easels before purchasing this one. It includes a chalkboard, white board, and a paper roll at the top, which can be pulled down for drawing. I bought this for my twins' 3rd birthday. Now, they are 4-1/2 and they and their friends continue to get a lot of use out of this. The only problem is that I regularly have to tighten the screws to hold parts of the easel together. Also, the cups which hold paint are not really necessary and I would have preferred that there were not holes in the trays for the cups. Otherwise, I am very happy with this purchase.I had been looking for a solid wood easel, that was sturdy and yet could be stored easily. Deluxe wood easel was the perfect choice. The quick delivery was also a plus! Amazon is a great place to start your search for so many things.I had not seen this easel "in person" prior to purchase, but it appeared to be of quality. It is a very solid piece of furniture. Delivery was earlier than expected (a good thing) and KidKraft sent the missing plastic washers (not a big deal) promptly. It will be around for many years!!
