MEEDEN Deluxe Studio Large Rocker Crank Heavy Duty Artist Easel-DHJ-12

Love it

Did a couple of huge paintings before. My husband had made me a makeshift easle using a pulley system and a little giant ladder. I've been eyeing this one for a while and finally purchased one. Sooo much easier. Love the tilt and the easy crank.

not good quality

This is a cheaply made product, not worth the price. The crank handle is cheap, feels like it will break after little use, my product was broken inside the package , but unfortunately I had waited too long to open it to send back , I glued the part broken back on, but the main issue is the product is not steady, the joints where the front part of the easel slides up and down is so loose that when you paint it rocks, I had to wrap cords around the joints to tighten enough that they would not rock as I painted . I hate painting on an easel that is not sturdy. This is certainly not sturdy. I would not recommend purchasing this unit. If I had not waited so long to open it, I would have returned it.

Beautiful easel! Just one catch...

I love it, so well made. The one problem is that it holds 3 canvases but mine came with the main holder for the top of the canvas is all the way at the top, and the smaller one is in the middle so it bumps into the back of my canvas. When I inquired, Meeden said you can move them around but it seems like I would have to take a bunch of it apart. I wish there was an easier way to adjust it. Wish there was a phone number!
