Jack Richeson Lyptus Wood Table Top Easel

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.

Easy to set up, easily adjusts with a good range of sizes of canvasses. Sturdy and well built, use this almost daily and am quite happy with the purchase.

This is a beautifully made easel that is a joy to use and a breeze to assemble. Its sturdy, handsome, and functional. Well worth the investment.

I liked the quality of design and construction.Perfect tabletop easel for what I needed.

Its the perfect size for what I need. The bottom, (along with the top) canvas holders can be raised up, unlike most tabletop easels, and the plastic stops on the top and bottom keep your full canvas workable--in other words, you dont lose about an overlapping quarter inch off your canvas tucked inside the top and bottom canvas holders. Its a little pricey, but if you love painting, I highly recommend it.

I cant say enough good things about this easel...I love love love it ... Sturdy ...beautiful... easy to use ... lots of positions... I wished I had not waited so long to buy it...

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.

This easel is simply perfect.

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.

If youre in need of a sturdy table-top easel, I highly recommend this. Ive been looking for an adjustable table-top easel--one that isnt flimsy, one that easily converts from an upright angle to laying flat and anywhere in between--and this meets all my needs! And at about half the price of similar easels Ive found at art supply places. Ive gotten used to finding shoddy quality products through Amazon, so I was pleasantly surprised to find someone still offers solid quality craftsmanship at a reasonable price. It is a well-thought out easel design. This easel is built to last. It arrived quickly. It was packaged well in 3 main pieces and easy directions to quickly assemble (all you need is a phillips screwdriver). It has comfortable knobs you easily loosen/tighten to get desired angle (no metal wingnuts!) It easily supports my plywood board on which I stretch my watercolor paper.
