This easel was assembled without assistance by someone who had never seen it before in approximately 10 minutes. One assembled, the easel may simply be stored flat. There is no need to disassemble it again, unless you really want to conserve horizontal space. Everything is adjustable. Using standard screws and wingnuts, you can completely adjust the height and support settings of both the easel itself and the canvas.
Accessories attach in seconds.
Shown above, the easel is set up to handle regular size sketching pads. However, the easel can accomodate extra large surface areas by using the accessory tray. The same technique is used for adjusting height and extra canvas supports. Shown here with oversized canvas, there is still room for brushes. The easel is adjustable for angle and has multiple supports in the center for large drawing pads.
