This easel was very easy to assemble and packs down to be quite compact if it needs to be transported, is super adjustable (able to accommodate quite large canvases), quite sturdy and stable, and surprisingly lighter than expected. Looks and feels well made and of quality materials - a few edges of the wooden pieces are a bit rough and splintery and not completely finished, but theyre not overly noticeable nor impact the function of the product (I could probably sand these down myself if I was picky). Overall, quite a fine piece, and I'm looking forward to creating more work with it.
