Description of US Art Supply Lightweight Aluminum

Pismo silver model easel, a premium quality large 66" (5.5 feet) high adjustable silver aluminum tripod artist field and display floor and tabletop easel. It's made with premium quality reinforced lightweight aluminum metal for extra stability. A compact less than 2 pound portable travel easel that collapses down to 21" for quick storage into the shoulder strapped carrying bag for easy transportation. A tough sturdy adjustable easel that holds up to 25 pounds and extends to accommodate panels and canvases up to 32" in height. It securely holds canvases up to 1.2" in depth between the self tightening spring loaded top clamp. The legs have vertical height adjustment shelf brackets for attaching the 18.5" wide by 1" deep adjustable horizontal fixing tray shelf. Easel height and angle adjustments are quick and easy, as the one-touch flip lock latches allow you to instantly set and lock the telescopic tripod legs at your desired position, and they also make it easy to adjust between floor, standing and tabletop configurations. It's a perfect field easel, as the legs can be independently adjusted for use on uneven ground. An excellent multi-functional easel that artists can use for painting outdoors as a field easel or indoors as a floor or tabletop studio easel. It's also an ideal display easel for paintings, office presentations, poster and dry erase boards or as a store sign holder and more. Easel Dimensions: 44" max width by 34" max depth by 66" max height as a floor easel; 19" max width by 14" max depth by 36" max height as a table easel. The non-skid rubber feet add stability and also protect tabletop surfaces.

Does the job

This easel has made preparing my events so much easier. on site. Now it sits well on the easel and takes half the time to set up. The only thing that was quite difficult was learning how to set up the tripod so that the legs are strong. To this day (and I've been using it since September 2015) I'm not sure I'm setting it up correctly. There is a trick to using velcro to keep the easel in a stable position that I didn't quite understand. But other than what is user error, I am very happy with my

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Available in white only

Ideal for watercolor and sketch boards

I bought this easel for my watercolor projects. I purposely chose this company because my heavy easel was well done despite what other reviewers said. This easel is very easy to set up and the process is as intuitive as the previous easel. Considering the weight of this easel, it will come in handy with my outdoor watercolors. I wouldn't take it out on windy days or use it on large canvases or heavy objects. The screws used to rotate the tray are plastic, as a previous reviewer pointed out, but

Pros
  • Top marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other sets

Just what I needed

I bought this product for upcoming authoring events at fairs, libraries, museums etc. It arrived on time with no instructions (as some here have pointed out) but it came with a bag, contrary to what others have said in their reviews. The easel is lightweight but strong enough for my 24" x 18" coroplast poster (pictured). I needed an easel and poster that would stand up to a variety of conditions as some of my events are outdoors (hence the correx) and I've found this easel to be a good fit…

Pros
  • Decent performance
