Review on Art Alternatives AA1250 Ravenna Easel by Amy Mcleod

Revainrating 1 out of 5

An imperfect design, a hidden defect, a missing part.

While waiting for Revain to create a return label, I might as well write my own review. Upon opening I heard a rumble and found a washer at the bottom of the box and immediately noticed the missing thumbscrew, a rather unique looking element that's important for holding the easel at your chosen angle. Upon closer inspection, I noticed a large crack, resembling a splinter, in one of the easel's carelessly repaired legs. It has a strange, musty odor characteristic of many Chinese products. Not happy, not happy at all. No smell, no damage and no missing parts, you can see it's a good idea. The box is spacious, ideal for brushes. I think this is my biggest disappointment. I really like Revain Prime, I've planned the weekend to have it ready by Friday. It came, it was defective, and now I'm waiting for a link to the return label. The money's tied up now, so I can't run to Dick Bleek to buy something like this; but then again, wouldn't it smell musty?

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

I love this. I use it for my drawings. I can carry it to a park and sit and draw.
