Review on U.S. Art Supply Grand Solana - Adjustable Wooden 3-Drawer Storage Box Easel | Premium Beechwood Desktop Case with Fold Down Canvas Easel Stand | Ideal for Art Paint, Markers, Pens | Portable & Store-Worthy by Carla Anderson

For the most part, this is great for my diamond painting. I usually sit on my bed when I paint with diamonds, so it's really handy to have a tilting easel that you can attach a light bar to. I have an A4 and an A3 lightpad and they both fit fairly well, although the A3 is so large that it works better in landscape than portrait. The easel portion is adjustable in 4 different positions or can be locked in place for vertical storage. Three drawers hold *most* diamond painting tools and accessories. Some of them MUST be placed in the bottom drawer as the top 2 drawers are quite small. The problems I've had with it are bad hardware. The "latches" on the sides of the drawers are flimsy and keep the drawers closed when I stand the unit upright, but I wouldn't trust them to stay closed if there's a lot of rocking (e.g. in the car or when traveling). . My biggest issue is the hinges that hold a small bar that holds paper, pens, a light bar, or whatever. When I first got this one of them was literally missing a screw. I found it in the box and reattached it, but the hinges are so flimsy that I had to squeeze something (currently a pencil) under that edge to hold it while using it. In short, the box/easel is great, but the hardware sucks. Knowing these problems, will I buy it again? Probably because I use it literally every day and it's very useful. But beware buyers. Make your own informed decision.
