Okay, so I've been using this RRFTOK easel for about a month now, and here's the tea ☕️
First off - the stability is LEGIT. I was worried it might wobble with my bigger canvases (I paint some chonky 36" pieces), but that reinforced triangle hinge keeps everything rock solid. No more 'oops my painting just faceplanted' moments!
The height adjustment? Chef's kiss 👌 From tabletop mode to full standing easel in seconds. I'm 5'2" and my partner is 6'1" - we can both use it comfortably which is rare for art gear!
Portability wins big too. Folds down to about 2ft and comes with this cute carrying bag that makes me feel like an art ninja traveling to paint outdoors. Though fair warning - if it's windy maybe weigh it down because aluminum = lightweight.
For beginners or budget-conscious artists (aka most of us lol), this is such good value for a 3-pack. Using one at home, one for classes, and gifted the third to my niece who's getting into painting.
Only con? The instructions could be clearer. Took me some trial-and-error to figure out how to properly tighten all the bits. But once set up? Perfection.
9/10 would recommend - knocking off one point just because I wish the paint tray was slightly bigger for my chaotic brush collection!
