U.S. Art Supply 80" Aluminum Art Easel Stand Sign Display, Watercolor Field, Adjustable Height, Floor Tabletop Tripod, Canvas up to 63" H x 40" W, Portable Easel for Canvas & Painting, Storage Bag

Bought this for my wife. She does a lot of water color paintings. The price was very good compared to others I looked at. But what really attracted me to this easel was the very easy design of the easel to make all the adjustments for height and for the size of the work pad. No tools needed to adjust anything and you can set it up or down in a spiff. Lightweight of course and has a nice carry case with strap which makes it a breeze for travel. Last but not least, this easel was designed for water color painters. Of course you can use it for other mediums, but for the water colorist the top will lay completely flat if desired so your paint won't run. Nice huh? Everything is very well thought out. One caveat I don't think this easel would do well outdoors in a stiff breeze (very light), calm days probably not a problem.

This easel would be perfect because you can use it for watercolor oil or acrylic. It’s very versatile can fit a large canvas or a small canvas. It’s very lightweight and easy to travel with. But it has a major flaw. The back leg does not have any way to keep it in place. So your leg can collapse. You need to be able to hold it in place so that it doesn’t come forward or go backward too far. Many easels have something to keep the legs spread and secure. And this one does not. Maybe you could get some little steaks to put in the ground to tie around each leg. But other than that, it would be perfect, but I’ve had it blow over in the wind because of this reason.

Misleading info, seller lied!!1) Product info on amazon listing says it can fit 63" horisontally, while paper that comes with the easel says max is 40". You can not rotate it to flip from portrait to landscape.2) Easel legs are not sturdy, due to construction. Back leg barely moves back, so it colapsed on its own without even actively using it for drawing not just exposition.3) Easel made of decent quality, but seller is untrustworthy. Due to this lie about measurements ‐ I cannot use it for bigger canvas.If you are looking for rotating easel for big canvas, keep looking. Its not it. $70 bucks down the drain.

After looking at many, many easels I chose this one finally...and it is perfect! I chose this one mainly because I paint in watercolor and did not want to be limited to my easel being only flat or completely vertical...This one is great because you can adjust it to any position so if you need a 20 or 30 degree angle, you can get it just right. My second consideration was weight as I am using it to paint Plein Air, and this one is nice and light, even comes with a zip up case. So now, I tuck it in my backpack with my paint and off I go! Super light! Alot of my friend have bought cumbersome and heavy french easels and while they struggle, this one sets up in moments! I attach a slide in tray between the legs with a small palette I velcroed on and now I have everything right there! I woluld highly recommend checking this easel out before you buy!

The design of this easel is easily ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. It's tall, it's sturdy, its easy to use, it tilts, its compact-its everything I want it to be except whatever type of plastic they used for the leg clips are a travesty. They break apart like old plastic thats been in the sun for a decade. Granted, I know I am hard on easels and REALLY use them. When the extention clips on the first one broke I gave them the benefit of the doubt and blamed myself. The second one I bought a leg clip broke just in transit to a location and it was a performance thing so I was really disappointed and had to work with the legs only half extended.If you plan on setting it up in studio and never messing with re-extending the legs, go for it. If you plan on actually using those leg clips, pass until they upgrade them. If they make new reinforced leg clips they'll have a customer for life here.

The media could not be loaded. Great concept, terrible execution. The bolt that is used to secure the easel’s tray is too short so the knob that attaches to it is almost impossible to secure, and if you can secure it chances are it’ll pop off while you’re painting. Making adjustments to the trays on top and bottom is extremely difficult and, honestly, almost impossible. I included a video here showing exactly what I’m talking about. I’m really bummed because I wanted an easel that can tilt flat quickly and easily and it does that advanced thing well, but as far as the basics - securely holding a canvas in an upright position - it doesn’t really do that without spending a long, frustrating time trying to get the nut and bolt to secure the easel’s tray. I sent it back.

Whichever team that put the brains together to give us something cool, steady, functional, portable, did a very good job. This easel does alot more work that most of the expensive wooden easels have seen and used around. This easel is very easy to put together and when set to hold canvas flat for pouring paint it acts just like a flat table that most easels don't do. So far my best and thinking of buying more for my other vast projects. Follow me on Instagram as figy_art for commissions and other projects. This also came in on time, great job guys, God bless you.
