Fantasitc Easel Box Sketch box

Great workmanship. The box is light and small if you want to fold it into a "suitcase" if you want. It offers moderate storage space with adjustable metal trays. You can draw or draw at any angle from horizontal to vertical. My wife uses it for oil pastels. We took a nice piece of 1/8" thick plywood and cut a drawing board for it that fits perfectly in the notched grooves. We both recommend this easel/sketch box.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Very expensive

Arrived defective due to a manufacturer error

I love Mabef. My giant Mabef studio easel and I have never complained about it. At first I was excited about this easel as I had wanted one for a long time. The box arrived battered but the contents were fine despite poor packaging and delivery. All was going well until I realized that when Mabef built this magnificent easel, the "master" was responsible for installing the parts that hold the legs in place. torn from the wood. Thus, the leg simply accidentally falls out and remains unsecured…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black

Nice but not high quality

I ordered this easel having read that Mabef is currently the leader in the product line and Julian easels have dropped in quality. Unfortunately, I think Mabeuf does too. At first I thought I had received a fake but when I sent the photos of Mabef to Italy they confirmed it was real. The frame is solid beech, but the top of the sketch box is now plywood. Note that in my picture it is more marbled than regular beech wood and looks and feels cheaper. The pallet looks like plastic, but I'm told…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
