sturdy, reliable, beautiful, worth it

this H-frame easel is so great.. heavy and sturdy enough to not budge when you're painting away, but light enough to move around when necessary without breaking a sweat. can fold down flat and hold lots of canvas sizes. the tray is height adjustable, but you have to be careful if you're in a room with low ceilings if you raise it too high. assembly was a little daunting at first glance, but i took my time and i did it easily by myself. btw i LOVED that i didn't need to break out any of my own tools to do the job, and the finished result is very impressive. beechwood is a must if you're afraid of temperature changes or storing it for period of time, because it is difficult to warp. i'd highly recommend this easel to any painter who is sick of cheap, flimsy easels that wobble with every brushstroke, or collapse if you accidentally bump it with your foot. (can you tell i have experience with this? haha.)
