Mont Marte Painting Easel Large Easel for Painting, Studio Easel w/castors Beech Wood

I purchased this to turn it into a TV stand. I needed something that was sturdy, lightweight and easy to move around. Having it easy to assemble is always a bonus. It ticked all my wishes.First, the quality is outstanding for the price. Or for products priced well above it as far as that goes. I really like the clean look at the wood.When I open the package I let out a huge UUUGH…. It look like it had a million parts and was going to take me days to put together. Once I got into it I realized each part is individually labeled. Every screw was packaged in a bag and labeled. It even came with screwdrivers!!While there’s not a written word on the instructions they are very easy to follow. You match Part A to Part B and secure with Screw Number 1. As Ina would say, “How easy is that?”Ikea should take a lesson from this company!!

Huge area to paint with and easy to roll around on carpet or dop cloth/tarp. I love the little shelf area below the canvas holding mechanism to put brushes or rags etc. but I used that space for some of my favorite crystals. Also, because I didn't want to get paint all over my new (gorgeous) easel, I wrapped a lot of it with glad press-n'-seal wrap so that I can be as sloppy as I want to be.As far as assembly, my professional carpenter homey put this together for me and he rated the difficulty level at a '2' for the average coonsumer and '0' for someone advanced in construction like himself. He was especially impressed with the overall quality, sturdiness, solid heft and beauty of the wood and seriously couldn't believe the price I purchased this for (around 100$ december 2020).If you love to paint and fancy yourelf an artist for hobby, fun or monetary purposes worthy of investing good tool in, you can't go wrong with this.

The overall easel size once together does not take up entire room; and thay's good as I am trying to reduce the size of my paintings

There’s just not going to be enough room to say all the good things about this easel. The quality is outstanding. The engineering is excellent and the price was very good for what you get. You can mount a canvas on it, then easily raise and lower it without having to remove the canvas. Switch from sitting to standing in an instant. The range of adjustment is very useful and sensible. It is very stable. I put it together in about 30 or 40 minutes. You have to pay close attention to the pictures to see which way some of the parts go. The only issue I had was that there was one knob not mentioned in the instructions (that I saw). It wasn’t difficult to figure out that it goes on the top crossbar to stabilize the vertical rail (see second photo). The quality of the wood used and hardware is also excellent. It was very refreshing to see something made this well these days. Should last for generations - Ty Husak

The Easel came in great shape, with all the parts needed to put it together. The directions were an assembly of pictures to follow. Finished in about 45 minuets and ended up with a sturdy rolling easel with locking wheels. Love it. I can move it from room to room so family members can use it in the setting they desire.

This was a Christmas gift and I love it! It is big and sturdy, was easy to assemble, and it rolls smoothly and easily when I want to move it, but stays put when I’m painting. Perfect!

Not easy to roll.

I bought this easel for my daughter who’s learning sketching. The easel is very stable and with high quality wood. Her painting works are better and better.
