Jack Richeson Lyptus Wood Table Top Easel

This is a very sturdy table top easel a first for me . Love that this company made an affordable version of their Oak Best Easel. Great price . Well made . Very happy with my purchase.

There is nothing I did not like about this easel. It arrived promptly. Is heavy enough to hard larger canvas. Easy to adjust. The wood is nice. Folds flat for easy transport.

Very sturdy table top easel. It is a larger size so its not a fit for very small spaces. Its a quality table top easel which is difficult to find in this price range and works very well. It adjusts easily and it is substantial. Ive found it easy to use when painting with both gallery and traditional depth canvases.

Great choice, good price vs quality

This is for the Jack Richeson Lyptus Wood table easel, Model 844200. I researched thoroughly and I certainly made the right choice with this one. I was hesitant because of the price, as there are so many other highly rated items for much less, but many of the easels that are highly rated are used only for display purposes and are not adjustable. My needs included a solid structure to grasp and support a paint board/canvas during painting, an easel that was scalable/adjustable, and something to work on a tabletop. Specs: I researched across multiple sites for information as the information seemed incomplete or conflicting in places so I am including details. In measuring the one I received and have assembled, it will adjust to securely hold a board/canvas as large as 42 inches tall, or as small as 1 (achieved by raising the bottom support up). Additionally it will adjust to hold the canvas up to a 90 degree angle, or can lie completely flat. I prefer the easy grip knobs this has over wingnuts. The assembly pack and instructions were attached to the shrink-wrap holding the frame pieces together. It was fairly easy to assemble, with a screwdriver required in a few places. A few times I did have to study the pictures and ignore the assembly text, particularly on the adjustable bottom support, but the pieces are well made and the holes do line up properly. My only unfavorable feedback at all is that the feet on the base are made of hard rubber and can scoot easily when on a slick surface, but this can be easily remedied by using the right thing beneath it. Overall Im really really pleased with this item.

It is gorgeous.

I am a professional artist and I work in both paint and pastels. I wanted an easel that could hold both my drawing board or a canvas. I also work on large scale canvases and I needed a table easel that could hold large canvases. This one does it all. It is super sturdy, with a wide base. It has a grove in both the lower and upper shelves for a drawing board and little plastic bump pieces to hold a canvas in place without the lip edge of the shelf covering the edge of the canvas. The lower shelf adjusts upward which is a game changer and makes it so much easier to move my work up to eye level. If you work on a table surface like me and need to spread out all your tools this is your easel. You won’t regret buying it. It also doesn’t slide across the easel when I place pressure on the canvas/board while working. The best investment.

Id been looking for a quality easel for the table top, and Richesons are the best. I love the lyptus wood and it matches the brush holder I have from them of the same wood. Wonderful addition to my studio.

Love it!

Sturdy and smooth. I am a big fan of this easel. I now own two of them. Ive made several modifications to one... Attached some things for clamping panels and shortened the footprint buy cutting a little off the front and back, so that it better fita on my shallow painting table. Highly recommended. Just spend a little more on this one instead of a cheaper version and youll be happy.
