MEEDEN Large Studio Artist Easel, Adjustable Studio Painting Easel, Solid Beechwood H Frame Easel, Display Art Easel for Watercolor, Acrylic, Oil Painting, Adjusts to Max 88", Hold Canvas Up to 59"

This is a great product, fairly easy to assemble. Wife loves it!

First, this easel is absolutely beautiful. The beechwood is sturdy and easy on the eyes. The actual assembly is not too bad. The big killer problem is that the instructions are great - IF you use a microscope to read and like to guess the correct orientation and alignment. I assembled, unassembled and reassembled until I was blue in the face. BE SURE YOU LOOK AND READ VERY CLOSELY BEFORE starting your assembly. The only other problem was the screws that hold 1 & 2 parts to the H frame (5 & 6) are too short for appropriate use. I had to do two things to make them hold; Either dip the screw threads in wood glue and tighten them to the "just before" point. That's putting the screw in and tightening it until it's about to strip back. One's that felt like they were just hanging, I just got longer, comparable screws and used them to get a secure joint. Make sure you look at the little metal attachments and the orientation of the screw holes & little tiny baby screw holes. The finished product is a work of art in itself. But save yourself. Don't do like me and get so mad that the screws wouldn't grab that I threw my drill motor at the floor. This happened to land right next to my quite unappreciative Cat, who is still not talking to me. Seriously. Take your time and burn those instructions into your thoughts. And kudos to Meeden for the packaging and cool "cloth" bags that all the wood parts come in. Nice touch https://www.amazon.com/gp/profile/amzn1.account.AHYZYDQYVUYLNLDKJIGAAWFCXF3A/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_gw_tr?ie=UTF8 EDIT - I am having the same exact problem that Maria is having. The wood/metal guide that bolts to the bottom guide will not stay put. The screws and coming out and the entire bracket has had to be wood glued and clamped at least three times. Because of this, my canvas is always out of alignment. I decided that yesterday was the last time I do this. I sure hope Meeden sees this and can help with this bottom canvas "bracket". If you look at Maria's photos, it shows it all. The wooden block that attaches to the metal piece so the brackets can slide up and down the guide. Can you help? EDIT 10/24 I'm sorry, but I got this easel in January 24. I wrote a good review based on my very limited experience. Now, I can say without reserve that I wish I had spent a bit more and got the Bob Ross easel or something that was better designed. The main problems are the upper and lower "brackets" that slide up and down and lock the canvas down. I have constantly fought with this thing concerning these parts being off level and the rear metal/wood slides cracking and breaking. I spent more on wood glue than I did on the easel. If you check my original review, I said the same thing about this. I should have figured it out when I originally had to repair the brackets. Rarely am I so unhappy with an AMAZON purchase. This is one of those. I've had wet canvases fall forward to the floor and ruin the work. I don't expect an answer as Meeden didn't answer me the first time when I asked them to please give me some help. That's ok. Maybe someone will see this review and prevent this from repeating and wasting their money! EDIT 6/25 For 8 months I have had no use from this easel. All of the above and the promise from Meeden that their parts problem concerning the carriers for the canvas. While their customer service people are all nice, it's like the guy at the grocery running a cart into the back of your heel. Says "sorry" but it still is a pain. I have purchased another easel that is much more dependable. The Meeden sits where my cats can play on it. If I ever get the parts, I'll donate it to a assisted living or kids school. If you have one of these, obtain a large C-clamp and Vice Grips. You'll need them to keep the brackets from ruining your work. (And I STILL praise the materials and finish. It is the screws and brackets that are the spoilers)

I love that I can put all different sizes of canvas on this stand. It took a little time to assemble because it was sometimes hard to tell which way certain pieces of wood should go, but it was worth the time spent.

I love my easel, it is beautiful, practical and sturdy, but one of the pieces started to malfunction, and I hope they can replace that piece that holds the canvas. I don’t know the name of the piece but I am uploading the photos to show the problem. This is wonderful craftsmanship, the shipping was quick and packaing was nice. I hope Meeden can help me with this! Thanks!

I love that this art easel can be flattened, that is awesome!! Great price too, good quality materials.

This seems like it will be nice when I get it together but I have literally put it together and taken it apart six different ways and it’s still wrong! The instructions are not helpful and there are a million pieces. I’ve put together practically every piece of furniture in my house and I’ve never had this much trouble. I recently sent a photo to the company and they apologized for the bad instructions and said it was put together backwards.. now I’m on my eighth time, because even after I thought I fixed it, it was wrong. So ya, I’ll let you know if it’s nice if I can ever get it together correctly.

Idk what the reviews are on about it being confusing to put together , I even put it together w my bf and it took about 20 minutes and no arguing . I would recommend just taking your time to evaluate each photo, and yes the parts are labeled . It’s especially nice to put it together because then you have a better idea on how to operate it especially like me since this is the first easel I have ever owned . It’s beautiful wood , stable and feels like it will last me a life time. I like to paint on gigantic canvases so this didn’t feel flimsy at all . Take it from me I always do intense research when making a big purchase and this one was definitely worth it ! I hope this review finds to be helpful to someone else

There was one minor piece that was damaged, but otherwise intact. As others mentioned, the directions are microscopic and aren’t clear on which way some bolts should be placed. Other than some minor build issues, the quality, durability, design, and size all look nice. It will take a few times to learn how to adjust properly. It’s nice to have the storage on the bottom. It may not feel super sturdy based on feeling when you are screwing in included bolts/screws. I had to use one of my own screws to attach the folding board at the base, as the screw they provided was flat instead of grooved to fit the screw head.

This is amazing easel, easy to use and diff aspects

The easel comes with easy directions to build it. The woods has a nice smooth finish. I like that you can lay your canvas flat. The base is very sturdy and the shelf in the bottom has plenty of room for extra equipment.

Articolo molto valido per chi vuole dedicarsi alla pittura di quadri di dimensioni medio-grandi... Regolazioni facili e intuitive, legno leggero ma robusto... Articolo e venditore consigliati, grazie!

Super produit avec une bonne stabilité

1時間半くらいで組み立て終了しましたが、狭い場所での組み立ては難儀でスペースが必要でした。結構重宝しそうな気がしております。確かに説明書はもう少し配慮が必要とは思いますが、想像力で乗り切れると思います。価格も手ごろ感があります。
