U.S. Art Supply 11 x 17 Artist Sketch Tote Board - Great for Classroom, Studio or Field Use

Great for the kids and myself... Very sturdy and perfect for drawing and painting

This is a perfect size for me to paint on. I use canvas paper a lot during my classes, they wont stay upright on my easel. I can move this around using the edge of my small desk. Absolutely perfect!

It feels very sturdy to me, its very large, smooth and flat, though I havent had it long so I dont know how long it will last but Im sure as long as I take care of it it will be fine. There is one definitive flaw : the clip is so terribly crooked that you have to really pay attention to how you attach your paper so it hangs evenly. Other than that, all is well.

This is a nice, big board that holds my new 11 x 17 pad with room to spare to lay pencils and elbows.

This had all the potential to be a five start review and would have been....except for a few of things. First was the packaging. There we two items in this package, which is fine, and the other item was okay. The board, in spite of an attempt at a clever support for one end, did not lay flat. That meant that the under side was mostly unsupported. So, when the large air bubbles were placed on top and the package closed it caused pressure on board, which accounted for the slight warping. I think that if I turn it over and keep my drawing box on it, that it should flatten out but time will tell on that one. The second concern is that the large red band has a 1/4 cut in the middle of it. At some point it will expand and snap. That is a QC issue that needs to be looked at. Update: Had to lower the rating as I forgot to mention that the clip is mounted unevenly and leaves gouges in you paper.

This is so cheaply made. The clamp is crooked. Thats very frustrating and distracting for painting.

It is great

I use this when Im outdoors or curled up in a chair. It provides a great and stable platform to draw on. Would highly recommend.

11x17 PAPER hangs off the end about 1.5 inches. otherwise its good quality. I will be returning it and finding a slightly longer board.

The actual dimension of this board are 18 x14.5. If you consider the space taken by the handle and the clip, you can fit a sheet of up to 16x11 size. I am overall quite satisfied with this item, perfect for drawing on my usual 11x14 sheets. The only thing I don’t like too much is that the clip is a bit misaligned. But it’s a good clip, I like that it sits flush with the board so id doesn’t bend the paper like other clips do. Would buy again.
