Review on Crazyworld Tabletop Art Easel: Portable Beech Stand with Adjustable Sketchbox and 3 Layer Drawer by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent value for money, improved drawer locks

Please note first this was a $30 purchase from an Olymstore seller. I was thinking of making my own similar easel box because I make furniture. It would probably take me 3 days to make something like this and complete it, and probably almost that much money just to buy the equipment. Boxing takes time. So this is a huge thing. The three drawers have enough space for my pencils, ink pens, brushes, etc., and even the bottom drawer holds a portable watercolor set, a small china palette, a roll of tape, and the rest of the space. There are other similar boxes with one or two drawers, but three are better. The side latches that keep the drawers closed appear to have been updated based on the photos and perhaps some complaints in the comments. On my device they are now wire loop clasps and are very secure when closed. One side would probably have sufficed, but they put fasteners on both sides. I quickly sanded the ends of the drawers and applied a bit of Johnson's paste to make the drawers slide smoother. But I usually do it with store bought or handmade furniture. Now they slide like satin. I also took a small saw and chisel and made another notch on the back of the angle adjustment rod. I often like a very slight incline, so it's ok now. One last little thing is that I prefer a flat drawing board to an open frame easel. I can use a very thin sheet of masonite or something similar because I usually work with toilet paper glued to the sheet. As you can see, I enjoy customizing the things I buy, although that goes for everything I buy and it's not really necessary to enjoy this easel. No, I wouldn't consider this class of furniture, but the exterior wood really looks like beech and is nice to look at and perfectly adequate considering the functionality. Come on, thirty dollars!
