VISWIN Large H-Frame Easel for Painting 53"-91" H, Adjustable Solid Beech Wood Heavy Duty Easel Stand with Storage Tray, Hold Canvas up to 78", Art Easel for Adults, Artists - Natural

The product arrived on time. I ordered with another item from a different store and they arrived together. For some reason though, the boxes were wet with something (possibly oil). I am glad it idn'tpenetrate through my items. When I opened the box for this easel, it was packed well. It has a fabric cover for each pieces and it saved the wood from shipping risks. Assembling it took me just 2 and a half hours. Very easy. The items are labelled properly and they provided me with a cute tool too! The only thing I suggest everyone do is to really look at the images of each pieces and match which is which ( like how many dots are in the image and how many holes in the actual piece is - only because I had to restart when I placed 2 bases backwards.). If I didn't have to restart, I could have finished it in an hour and a half. In terms of quality, the varnish is beautiful. The wood itself is beautiful. The wood marks are pretty ( I enjoy looking at tiny details like this). But the only thing is, I slipped one part from my hand and had it fell on one base and it left a mark/dent. Indication that extreme force will hurt the wood. It is soft for carving, if you want to somehow customize and decorate your easel, but it is strong wood too because it doesn't crack or break. This seems like something to last a lifetime - if you take great care of it. I am planning on keeping it in one place and cleaning it every so often. My advice is, to keep this lasting (from what I see in the quality), wipe it every so often and refresh its varnish after two years or so. And do not un-screw it often. Keep it in place and this could last a lifetime. Wear and tear won't stand a chance. I am planning on covering the parts when I paint with masking tape too. To help protect the item. Over all, the product is beautiful, sturdy, complete and serves it's purpose. WORTH TO BUY. CAN LAST A LIFETIME.

**Handicap friendly besides assembly, ask a friend to help!** I was looking for an adjustable (height) easel because I cannot stand for long & so not have a lot of space to prop up art at a table & such. I saw this one can go almost to the floor, which might seem silly but I do sometimes feel more comfortable on the floor than in a chair, and I had to try it. The knobs are large & easy to tighten or loosen, however the instructions show different sized nobs on some (like parts E & F, but they are all the same size). The angle of easel is adjustable, and can fold up for more minimalist or small spaces. Please note this easel is heavy, not extremely but it is definitely not lightweight. I am glad it's sturdy and is not cheap by anymeans, but if you live alone & cannot lift heavier items, this might not be for you or leave it in a place you will always use it. I am interested in adding wheels or carpet sliders to make it easier. It has a place for brushes and such as well. I am about 5"3 and the total height hits my chin level when angled for use. It is wide but not extremely, I was worried it'd be too wide but it's fine. For reference I got the L. Assembly took me 1hr by myself. The instructions were mostly easy to understand however I wish some things were indicated better, like which side goes inside or outside, but otherwise it was visually comprehensible.

From the minute we open the box the quality of this product was obvious . The directions and putting it together were easily managed in 30-45 minutes. It’s substantial to handle and sizes I should ever need and can be easily moved anywhere I need to go in my studio. Because I use my easel every day I appreciate the sturdiness. I already have a smaller model easel from this manufacturer and have used it for over 10 years and didn’t hesitate to go back to this manufacturer for my large easel. There is good value in this product.

This is a well-designed product that was easy to assemble. I put it together in under an hour without assistance. Having help could be useful in one of the last steps. Otherwise, this is a straight-forward one person job. I've assembled many pieces of furniture and have often been frustrated by poorly constructed pieces, missing hardware, or poor instructions. This easel is the opposite. The individual wood pieces are well made, nicely finished, and clearly labeled. All hardware components (mainly screws) were separated into labeled packages, and every packet included extra parts. The instruction diagrams were clear enough that I didn't need to read the text, except for one step when I assembled a couple of pieces in the wrong order. That was my oversight, and it was an easy fix. I bought this as a Christmas gift and have not yet seen how well it holds up over time. I can't imagine what would break down though. If I do happen to over-tighten and break one of the screws, I’ll make use of the extra parts. This cost about $30 more than an almost identical easel on Amazon. However, that model had poor reviews, so I opted for this more expensive product. I can't directly compare the two products, but I have no regrets about purchasing this model.

Very nice if you can manage to figure out how to put it together. Instructions not clear at all and definitely requires critical thinking skills. Its absolutely beautiful and very sturdy once it was assembled.

Bought several for students to use during an artists’ retreat. They were very easy to assemble with well designed “123…” instructions that are simple and very user friendly. Includes a screw driver, a very nice touch! The easels are sturdy, very easy to raise lower and tilt with no wiggle or looseness. To paint standing they provide ample room for small to mid-sized canvases with a very stable tray and top clamp. Everything has an attractive cherry/mahogany varnish. These are not for large canvases, but are perfectly built and suited for smaller. They are not intended for outdoor use, but are easily collapsed for storage or transport and are very light for the sturdiness they offer. My students were not distracted by any issues other than those posed by thrur paintings. I am very satisfied and will be happy to use them often. This is very good quality for a better than fair price.

I am impressed with this easel! The seller resolved the one issue I had with it, which in my book is huge! Firstly, the fit and quality of the hardware that comes in the kit are very good. The assembly was a bit tricky at only one point where I reversed some of the parts and had to go back and redo a step. You have to pay close attaention to the install illustrations to get it assembled right. When it is all together, it is stable and solid. The only issue I had was the first time I went to clamp a drawing board into the top clamp, the wood clamp cracked and split. In my initial review, I mentioned this and the seller sent me a new part, which solved the problem. I was using some heavy duty spring clamps to hold the drawing board to the frame, but now I can replace the broken part and have a fully functional easel. Thank you to the seller for standing behind what they sell! I would caution however, that that top clamp should not be tightened beyond just a snug, firm grip or it could break from over-tighteneing. Also, maybe a little bar soap applied to the angle adjustment clamp area will allow it to glide without sticking if you plan to adjust the angle frequently.

Exactly as described. Very sturdy and stable. And it looks nice!

Super solid, all round well made and a very good heavy quality material. Easy to assemble, but heavy to move around but I like it like that.

I wanted to upgrade my little easel to one that isn't as wobbly, and can take a larger canvas. Shown in pic with 30"x40" canvas and it has plenty of room for more! It arrived in excellent condition with no scratches or missing parts. I put it together myself which was not too bad - the screws and oddments were already separated and labeled. The only issue I had was that the first two pieces to put together were mislabeled (11 & 12) - I ignored the numbers and matched it to the diagram. Lovely product, would recommend.

Tout simplement parfait et très beau !

Otroligt välgjort och prisvärt staffli! Alla delar och skruv föredömligt uppmärkta.

Ich liebe diese Staffelei. Nur Komplimente von anderen wenn sie sie sehen. Das braun ist schön dunkel und die Qualität echt klasse. Das Zusammenbauen geht durch die Anleitung recht simpel. Ich wollte sie eigentlich zum Zeichnen nutzen aber sie wird jetzt doch eher als Dekoelement im Wohnzimmer genutzt.
