Ravenna Table Easel with Drawer - Adjustable Wooden Artist Easel for Painting & Sketching - Perfect for Home Studio, Classroom & Outdoor Art Projects

I needed a table easel and there is a good bit to choose from....so, which to get? A.) THIS ONE. And I will explain why. A lot of table easels will extend up and accommodate a larger canvas, but this one also can be adjusted to "lower" the bottom portion as well as the upper portion. This creates a larger area to work. In doing so, it relocates the drawer that is typically in the front side and places it on the right side. In this drawer can be stored paints and brushes and it has two clasps to keep it closed securely while carrying it around...the part of the easel that holds the canvas condenses (if expanded above or below) and can be lowered and secured as well.....it essentially folds together securely and has a leather handle to carry it by. It's constructed of solid wood and by that I mean it's strong enough to be adjusted without worrying that something is going to snap while adjusting the easel up and down and it travels well. When I purchased this item it was one of the more expensive models but you really do get what you pay for. Look at it as an investment because if you buy something of lesser quality, you're stuck with it and if you buy this (from my personal experience with the easel) you're going to have a better experience in the way it accommodates an even larger canvas, stores your supplies safely and securely with TWO "good" clasps, a reliable & sturdy leather handle, a solid wood built frame that can be adjusted easily and when properly secured it will stay at the angle you set it at. The more I use it, the happier I am I bought it.
