Jack Richeson Lyptus Wood Table Top Easel

If your reading this your more than likely looking for an easel. I just got this one 4 days ago and Ive already used it for 2 paintings.... I absolutely love it. I am going to buy one for my wife also. It is very solid and sturdy. You can adjust it to huge canvases or small ones. I just used it for 18x24 canvas. If you read reviews to help you decide then trust me this is the one.

I bought this based on reviews. Very glad I did. Perfect size for my needs. Holds canvases of surprisingly large sizes. Well made, sturdy, attractive and easy to assemble.

Was very easy to put together

Very sturdy easel and easy to assemble.

This easel is solid, well-built, and easy to adjust as needed. Ive spent about 100 hours so far using it, all for soft pastel, and wholeheartedly recommend it.

Love it!

So far this easel works great. I have a small space and this table top model is perfect for me. Holds small to large canvases well and is easy to store. Great Product!

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.

The width that holds the canvas is about 21, not sure where they are measuring 18 from...leaning against the wall on the floor completely closed it is about 29 high by 6.5 deep. The wood is sturdy no doubt, looks good, no chips or cracks, quality is good, did have a few slivered top pieces of wood splinter off so I glued it. The knobs do tighten and work well. This to me looks as big and heavy as a standard H frame with basically the legs cut off to look shorter to fit on your table. All the girth of a standard H frame being shorter. I have a regular H frame, and I think this is just as big and heavy without the height. If you put this on a table, the bottom will not drop down, you can adjust it up no problem. Pull the top up, where it feels sturdy I feel about a 38 maximum height for a canvas. You could easily put a 24x30 on here and I think it would be pretty sturdy. I would use this for average 16x20 or above, maybe down to an 11x14. If you regularly paint in smaller than that size I would look for a smaller easel myself, this to me seems pretty heavy , not really for say pulling out to set on a dining room table or for a simple desk, this is more for a studio. If you compared to say some of the standard tabletop easels with the little side drawer, this would be considered XL. I do think this is great for people who need something real sturdy, who have a big enough table to accommodate a 21 width, plus a place to set paint and brushes, tools.... I think like others, this would last and hold up for many years.

I have tried many different easels. Some would be hard to adjust the height, others wouldnt hold my canvas securely, always something that I would change. This is the perfect easel. Easily adjusts the height with the knob in the front, I hated reaching around to the back to make adjustments. It is so nice I dont want to get paint on it. Easy to use and to assemble. Its sturdy, attractive, and functional. Worth every penny. If I add up all the $25 and $35 easels I purchased prior to this I probably could have purchased 2 of these and saved myself money. You get what you pay for in this case.
