Creative MarkBelgian Art Horse - Drawing Easel with Seating with Adjustable Angle and Wheel for Drawing and Painting - Beechwood Finish - Ideal for Artist

The horse stores my pencils, charcoal and eraser supples. it has 3 positions for my drawing board.When I have company I close it and its an extra seat.I am short so it is comfortable for my legs and knees.Highly recommend this sturdy, great product!

Let me preface by saying I am a professional woodworker with about twenty years experience.Materials are acceptable with no major defects. Joinery is tight and clean although not pristine.During assembly I ran into a small hiccup attaching the seat side leg assembly. The aprons attached to the seat panel were significantly misaligned. Attached by pocket screws, it was quick work to run them out, squish the aprons into alignment, install the legs, and then reinstall the screws connecting the aprons to the seat panel. I would say they were out of tolerance by 0.140” and would have made assembly impossible without damaging a part.While this happened to not be a dealbreaker for me, I’m sure a greater percentage of the population would find this a major headache if not game over.That said, it’s pretty nice. Considering the price, I think it’s a steal. For added durability I glued the joints - otherwise I’m sure it could get pretty creaky depending how hard you ride it. If you’re not handy maybe beware?

I am a college art professor and I ordered 17 of these drawing horses for one of our class rooms. I read the reviews and thought it would work well and it had a nice price. However, after 2 years the wooden tops of the horses are smatched and the frames are beginning to fall apart. So I decided to fix one of the horses.What I found was disheartening. The top surface plywood is very thin and there is no support in the seat to hold up the plywood. These were EASY to break without much use. I also found that the wood was glued together and in some places no much glue was used allowing the wood to pop apart. I am now prying ALL of the thin plywood off and adding more supports in a desperate attempt to salvage this poorly made item.
