Bought a table easel inspired by the star rating. The box it came in was in better condition than the desk easel. The part where everything works wasn't cut to sit flush with the top of the easel, which explains why no tightening with a screwdriver could bring the two parts together. The screws didn't seem to have a hold. I suspect that instead of pilot holes, someone simply drilled a piece into the top of the easel the same diameter as the screws used. For $30. I'm not restoring this thing. I guess I'll stay away from those $15 items! Here are the star ratings.
