Jack Richeson Lyptus Wood Table Top Easel

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.

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.

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.

Very sturdy easel and easy to assemble.

So far this easel works great. I have a small space and this table top model is perfect for me. Holds small to large canvases well and is easy to store. Great Product!

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.

This easel is solid, well-built, and easy to adjust as needed. Ive spent about 100 hours so far using it, all for soft pastel, and wholeheartedly recommend it.

I highly recommend. Great product.

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.

Sturdy, easy to adjust and looks great!
