Jack Richeson Lyptus Wood Table Top Easel

This easel is simply perfect.

Easy to assemble and use. Nice that it folds flat.

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.

Great choice, good price vs quality

she loves it. SHe has been painting for several years now and was looking to move up to something more professional quality. this was perfect.

If youre in need of a sturdy table-top easel, I highly recommend this. Ive been looking for an adjustable table-top easel--one that isnt flimsy, one that easily converts from an upright angle to laying flat and anywhere in between--and this meets all my needs! And at about half the price of similar easels Ive found at art supply places. Ive gotten used to finding shoddy quality products through Amazon, so I was pleasantly surprised to find someone still offers solid quality craftsmanship at a reasonable price. It is a well-thought out easel design. This easel is built to last. It arrived quickly. It was packaged well in 3 main pieces and easy directions to quickly assemble (all you need is a phillips screwdriver). It has comfortable knobs you easily loosen/tighten to get desired angle (no metal wingnuts!) It easily supports my plywood board on which I stretch my watercolor paper.

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.

Id been looking for a quality easel for the table top, and Richesons are the best. I love the lyptus wood and it matches the brush holder I have from them of the same wood. Wonderful addition to my studio.

Ive replaced my old stand up easel with this one. Ive put it on top of a small drawer unit, so I get a better easel plus art supply storage and can still stand to paint!

Im very pleased with the table top easel thanks again
