Arrived safely in a box. Easy to set up and drawer has plenty of room for paints and brushes. Having screws on outside of frame to allow easy tilting of painting. Cheaper ones often have adjusting screws inside drawer and when painting is at an angle lowering it to flat is harder. The shoulder strap leather is fairly thin and one of mine has broken in the middle though I can still use it. Moderately heavy when loaded with paints and brushes and a carry bag would be nice for traveling. The legs pull out easily and the design cuts in the frame allow the legs to lock in position when extended. I am very happy with my purchase.
