U.S. Art SupplyCoronado French Style Easel & Sketchbox with 12" Drawer, Wooden Pallete & Shoulder Strap

My girlfriend loves this. She recently mentioned a renewed interest in painting, and we ordered this to get her started. It's super adjustable and easy to maneuver. Lots of storage, and it came fully assembled. Really well-made and beautiful to look at. She's thinking about staining it to a darker color - another fun project to make it her own. Seeing the smile on her face makes me so happy!

This easel is great! It's sturdy when fully extended, it has great storage, it holds a lot but it easily transportable. It is decent quality and a great price.

I was never much of an artist and did not have the urge to paint but since I discovered the seacret to Impressionism, I thought I could churn out a few pieces and attempt to sell them at a local gallery. With my Winton colour oils and Artistry brushes and Keffs canvas the easel looks great.

I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews and blogs that ranked easels before I purchased this one. It is a good size, it's easy to assemble, and it is sturdy. My research conclusion was correct. This easel is a good choice. It's also attractive enough to leave in your living room.

So far this easel is siiiick. I love all the features it has. Everything is well thought out and the design’s attention to detail and ease of use is evident. Not sure if it was supposed to come with an instruction manual— it comes assembled in the box, but in its folded/collapsed position. You have to unscrew then rescrew some wingnuts and such to get it standing upright. Just took a few minutes. We were able to do it just from looking a pics of the easel online, and I’m sure my daughter will get faster at building and collapsing the easel when changing locations. All in all, I’m satisfied with this purchase.
