Review on 🎨 Mabef Backpacker Easel (MBM-23) in Tan: Versatile and Portable Art Companion by Gelin Battle

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great easel but shipping box issues causing damage

I am giving 4 stars as I have not been outdoors. I like the easel but it arrived damaged and was not the easel I ordered. In the photo, in the version with a transparent structure, the easel is in the place where the canvas is held. I have the hard version (as shown here). Half of the back of the box was broken. I saw other reviews where this happened. I believe this is Mabef's problem as they package their easels for shipping and there is no protection for the easel. it's in a box much larger than a folded easel and I can see why it's getting damaged. There were also scratches and dents on the wood. As for the straps, I agree with the other reviewers that they fall short. They need to be thicker and stronger as well as the palette which cannot be used with devices where it folds in half. However, it keeps all items in the crate safe during transit. I contacted the seller about the issues and he gave me a small percentage of the return. Overall I'm happy with what I've seen so far. I think it will serve me well, but Mabef should heed the suggestions, especially the shipping box! what i have seen so far.
