Flimsy structure, waste of money

This medium stretcher was a disappointment in the Arts and Crafts world. After I put it to the test it seemed to be made of flimsy materials that were not durable enough to stand the test of time .The canvas easily SAGGED, leaving me feeling like I wasted my money. The only positive was that it was easy to assemble..

Pros
  • Durable construction and sturdy material ensure longevity
Cons
  • Pricier compared to other stretcher options in the market

Perfect for the Artistic Genius

This stretcher is perfect for all my Arts and Crafts needs .After I put it to the test, I found that it was incredibly durable and held up great. It is very easy to install which saves me a ton of time and the quality is truly unmatched. Although the price is a bit steep the quality of the product is worth every penny. Overall, I would highly recommend this product to any artist looking for a high-quality stretcher that will last them a lifetime..

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting
Cons
  • Higher price point compared to other stretcher options on the market

Good but not as good as heavy rungs

Good quality rungs for medium loads. To properly complete the work, you will need wooden "keys", which are inserted into the corners of the frame after stretching the canvas. These keys are needed to tighten the canvas and make the finished product. Unfortunately, I found that the keys were not present when I bought the bolts. I had to take the old (thicker) heavy duty wrenches and grind them down to medium. It worked, but it took a very long time. I will not be buying these latches again until

Pros
  • Tenon pine for strength and straightness
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
