VISWIN Heavy-Duty H Frame Easel, Hold Canvas to 82", Tilts Flat, Adjustable Beech Wood Large Easel for Painting with Storage & 4 Wheels, Professional Floor Art Easel Stand for Adults, Artists

I was worried at the UPS drop-off, because the unwieldy weight of the birchwood in the box had begun to smash its way out of the box during the shipping process. Well, that turned out to be no problem at all because of the extremely hard nature of the high quality birch used, and the excellent packaging design. All of the little bits you would be worried might slip out of a box [like instructions, hardware, smaller easel parts] starting to come open in transit were safely nestled in the center of the packaging. The instructions for assembly are like a master class in how to write fantastically logical and easy to follow assembly instructions. They reveal the minds of excellent product designers, and very skilled graphic designers and technical writers. I wouldn't be surprised if everyone involved in making this went to university to learn their applicable knowledge, and were highly ranked in their classrooms. I hope this manufacturing company values their people, because this it seriously the work of an excellent team. If you look at my photo of all of the parts laid out, each part is labeled with a number, each hardware piece is in a bag according to individual type, and each of those is lettered. It all corresponds beautifully to the instructions and the schematics. Every bit of it needed was there, and the kit included a flat head & Philips screwdrivers, and a wrench key. You have everything needed to put this together, and they have made doing so as easy and as logical as possible. And then best of all but no surprise to me once I saw how fabulously designed and organized the instructions and parts were: the quality and functionality of this easel is just wonderful. It rolls beautifully, it adjusts position and angle like a dream, it does all of the positions and angles the Product Description claims, the sturdiness and ease of use is excellent, and it can accommodate canvases from tiny to giant wall covering size (check the Product Description for scope). Now - this is a big beast. It could be folded somewhat and rolled into a closet or garage. But when it is out being used, this sturdy easel is not invisible. So just know that you are committing some physical space by getting this one rather than a dinkier, lighter, but more limited and flimsy easel. I would only get this one if you are really, truly going to use it. But if you are going to truly use it, I can't imagine there is a better, more functional easel out there. I would order another product from this company in a heartbeat. I have never been so pleasantly surprised by something I've ordered from Amazon actually turning out to be better than I expected.

If you're on the fence, buy it! This easel is stunning, well built, and easy to assemble - I did it by myself. The moving parts glide effortlessly (from vertical, angled, to lying flat) and the wheels roll smoothly across wood and carpet. I can see this as an heirloom piece. It is that well made. I live in a 400 sq ft cabin, and it fits nicely in the corner when not in use. My 10' ceiling prevents me from fully extending the mast, but it's good to know that it will also work in a bigger space with larger canvases down the road. I am extremely happy with this purchase and look forward to using it for many years.

Easel arrive on schedule an well packaged. Assemble takes about 1 hour, but was made easy with included tools and clear instructions with numbered labeling on all parts. This is a large format unit for medium to large canvases. While heavy - given the high quality of materials, build mechanics, and included casters it is properly fit for purpose for beginning to serious artists. At the before Xmas purchase price of $167 it is an excellent value. This Viswin unit matches similar easels sold at Art Supply stores for twice the price.

This is like, WAY bigger than my old easel. It barely fits in my converted bedroom studio- but it's so NICE! The pieces are well made, all the holes line up and are drilled out properly, and the instructions are pretty clear. Due to its size I won't be easily able to lay it flat in my smaller room because it knocks my pendant light but the function is super smooth and doesn't feel like it's going to snap the easel in half like my older one. The mast is TALL- and if you need to lift the tray up for not-enormous canvases it gets taller without even pull the adjustable part up because the tray is connected the the fixed part of the mast- but that's not a bad thing necessarily, one less part to adjust unless you're working huge scale. For the price it's got to be the best easel you can buy, and it feels like it's going to last for a long time!

I'll reserve 1 star since I've barely used it. It's solid and stable. All the necessary tools to put it together were there but it definitely was not a product I could assemble without help. The illustrations were a bit confusing at times. All in all, though, I'm pleased with it.

This is one of the best products I’ve ever received through Amazon I would definitely buy another one in a heartbeat they are so handy so reliable product that I am definitely going to be looking at this brand for more future products I love the fact that it is solid wood I love that it has wheels so it can move around I like that it flips down can fit all sorts of sizes of canvases there is nothing bad about this product I love that it even comes with extra parts in case something breaks which is always nice to have if you ever have a chance to sit down and buy a well quality product this brand viswin Is the best quality I’ve seen in a long time worth every penny I will be buying another product again soon from these people thanks again for this wonderful purchase

Great for big paintings

I am very pleased with my purchase of this VISWIN H Frame Easel. I was impressed as it's very sturdy and well made, and best of all not expensive at all. All parts where labeled, and assemble instructions very easy to understand. I put it together myself as I am very handy and I had no issues at all, but some people may need help assembling. Customer service was very quick in responding and getting back with me when I contacted them. Highly recommend this product.

Excelente. Viene con instrucciones muy claras para montarlo, incluyendo destornilladores y todas las herramientas necesarias. Caballete súper pro, robusto, totalmente estable y fácil de manejar. Puedes trabajar en plano y hasta un poquito inclinado hacia delante con todos los ángulos intermedios. La zona inferior queda despejada para que puedas tener las rodillas si pintas sentado cerca. Le doy sin duda un 10, estuve valorando muchas opciones y creo que di con la mejor.

Beautiful looking and high quality item that works perfectly. I like to paint standing up and this easel provides a working platform at good height so that I don't have to stoop. Excellent value for money and would thoroughly recommend.

It's a good, sturdy, and well-designed easel. Comparable to similar ones I've seen at my local art supply for $600 to $800. It arrived well-packed and organized so that it was easy to assemble. The design is excellent, and the components are cut and drilled accurately so that everything fits together perfectly. It holds large and small canvases equally well, and the fact that it tilts horizontally will make varnishing paintings so much easier. My only gripe is that I wish the platform would go lower to accommodate taller paintings. The lowest setting is about 18 inches off the ground, so if your canvas is more than 60 inches tall, you will need a step ladder to reach the top. Otherwise I couldn't be happier. If you need a good, solid, affordable studio easel, look no further.

Ottimo cavalletto. Robusto, facilmente maneggiabile, decisamente bello a vedersi. Montaggio accessibile per due non molto pratici in bricolage, richiede una buona attenzione alle istruzioni del venditore. A proposito del venditore eccezionalmente disponibile e gentilissimo disposto a spedirci a sue spese la scatola con i componenti per il montaggio che pensavamo di aver smarrito ( poi ritrovata per fortuna). Non mi resta che mettermi a dipingere col nuovo cavalletto … mi spiace un po’ sporcarlo ma ė inevitabile!

Very sturdy and fairly easy to assemble. I got this because of its height, I also like the little compartment to place your brushes. Just make sure you check the dimensions because it's big, but this is perfect for me.
