Review on U.S. Art Supply Coronado Black Cherry Easel: Premium French Style Sketchbox Tripod for Painting & Sketching by Angela Rodriguez

I'm studying art and bought this for my painting class where we work outdoors. After a decent amount of use of the easel, literally right after my first session, the screw supporting the rear leg support bar WAS CUT OFF and my easel collapsed. I ended up having to screw in a somewhat similar screw to continue with my homework. The screws and wing nuts are cheaply made and not even *correctly* placed in the easel. The screws are slightly out of balance and severely scratch/press the wood. Not to mention the legs are EXTREMELY wobbly and I've wondered on several occasions if this was a $90 easel or a $25 easel. I would not recommend this easel, especially for the price. Trust me if I could give this product zero stars I would. Monet's easel is far better than this piece of junk for the same price.
