Just like the M-13D (Lyre Artist Easel), this three-legged easel is made of high-quality, stain-resistant oiled beech wood. However, it features a simplified system with an adjustable central mast and bottom canvas holder, which secure in place with screws and wing nut.  The M-13AL Value Lyre Artist Easel can accommodate a canvas up to 59" high. Value-priced for the economy minded shopper.
