Heavy-Duty Easel

This is the best easel I have ever had. Unlike many others I have used and had to build in the past it is well finished, and extremely easy to put together. No missing parts. No misalignment of components. Clear instructions, that just work. They even give you the tools to do the job. I absolutely love it. It took around 2 hours to put together, which is not bad, considering I am in my 70’s and I can’t wait to start using it. I have a small studio, so this is going to make working in it so much easier. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a good, substantial and flexible easel. It’s well worth the money.

The easel comes for self assembly with all the tools required. It was quite straightforward following the pictures. The final construction is very stable but easy to move on the casters. One piece was misshaped but when I contacted Viswin Joyce replied very quickly and solved the issue by posting a new part. Would definitely recommend both the company and the product.

This is a fabulous easel. Substantial, sturdy and excellent quality. I’m so glad I ordered it rather than the alternative Mabef easel, this one was well over a £100 cheaper. The wood is well finished and fixings supplied are of great quality. The fact that it can be placed in the horizontal position opens up many more options for painting. I simply cannot fault this easel and would highly recommend it.

A really solid easel wish I’d bought one like this from the start. Holds canvases really well and is easy to move about on its wheels, it’s also easy to tilt. Good instructions to put together. Not found anything negative to say just a perfect lovely piece of kit and I’m loving using it Thanks Heather

Bought as a gift for my wife. Surprise spoiled. Seems sturdy and a good product.

I don't normally write reviews, but I have to make an exception with this easel. The quality and fit of the components are top notch. All fit together tightly and accurately. I'm actually astonished that they were able to do this for the price. The only thing I think could be better would be more heavy duty castors. I was reluctant to order a made in china easel, but honestly, I would be surprised if anyone would not be delighted at acquiring this product. Assembly instructions were easy to follow and all tools were included. Highly recommend.

Article de qualité, très simple à monter d'autant que tout est fourni, parfaitement expliqué avec pièces numérotées et référencées. L'ensemble est robuste et adapté à mes besoins, pouvant accueillir des grands formats sans problèmes, je recommande.

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.

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.

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.

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.
