U.S. Art SupplyTabletop Easel for Painting - 15" to 21" Adjustable Metal Painting Easel - Portable Art Easels for Display Table Stand - Holds Canvas, Whiteboards, Posters, Signs, Drawings

Had an unusual need - for a tabletop display to hold up foam-mounted posters that are 3 and 4 feet wide and up to 3.5 feet tall. I did not find any products that were designed for displaying very large posters... on a tabletop. These easels, with the flip-up "ears" were the closest thing I found. They work well for our purposes - we use them indoors, where wind is not an issue. Our presenters like them. They are easy to set up and just big enough to balance a very large poster on. We would like them even more if there were a way to lock-in the angle between the front legs and the back leg. The design is a odd, with the back leg being adjustable both at the junction where it meets the front legs and at a place where the two segments of the back leg itself meet (halfway up the leg). I don't understand why the back leg needs a "knee." I suppose that might be useful for displaying much smaller items, if you wanted to lay the easel way back, so the piece being displayed would nearly face the ceiling. However, the wing bolt that should hold that "knee" in a fixed position does not do its job well. There is, as far as I can tell, no way to lock the top joint (where front legs and back leg meet) into place and little guarantee that the knee joint can be securely locked in place either. We work around this by handling the easels gingerly as we set them up and not touching the posters once they are perched on the easels. The quality of materials used in this product seem significantly higher than the quality of its design. All told, this is a unique easel product that meets our unique needs well.

the easel is sturdy and great for table tops, would highly recommend

I purchased 10 of these easels to host art nights and they are nice. Easy to assemble and a decent price.

Great value for the money. It’s made of aluminum and has rubber bottoms to it and my picture was heavy yet the easel support it with no problems

Works great. Easy to use. It adjusts, folds, and is stable. Good value. Would recommend to friends. Makes painting much easier when it is upright.

Perfect for tabletops

My daughter is an equine photographer and painter. She needed something to take to events to display her paintings to potential customers. These worked great!- Extremely lightweight- Folds up for easy packing- Professional looking- Use of the optional extensions allows greater flexibility in canvas size- I don't know how they would hold up to damage - we are being careful to keep them safe - but they are all good after a couple months of normal, careful use.

No dislikes. Sturdy with ability to position to keep picture displayed for safety.
