JOY SPOT! 6 Pack 16" Tabletop Easel, Portable A-Frame Tripod Wood Easel for Painting Party, Canvas, Display Stand for Kids Students Beginners

I am a painting instructor and work with 7th and 8th graders. Had a great painting party no brakes no slips worked perfectly

Hosted a paint and sip night and these work great! They are just the right size and easy to put away for later. Would recommend

If the items are very big these don’t always stand up easily.

Had a fantastic time with the paint party

I liked that they were sturdy enough to paint a canvas on

A good easel will cost you significantly more than these things will. Just be mindful of it's tendency to slip and you'll be fine. It uses a string and tension to remain upright (the back leg is what moves). This is ideal for children or an amateur like myself.

Bought this set for kids to come over and have a painting play date, along with some blank canvases, brushes and paints. Don’t forget a tarp or tablecloth. If I wanted a more professional easel, I’d get one that locks open. This has a string that’ll get messy and doesn’t lock, meaning the easel can collapse if pushed a certain way. It also has no way to lock in a canvas horizontally. But for hosting a fun event, this is perfect. Each one comes shrink wrapped and makes a nice present for take home after the party, if that suits you. An extra star for value and for having smooth edges.

I ordered these for a painting with a sip at home for some friends and it ended up working out very well! A couple times one of the easels slid backwards and down while setting up but once properly situated they held up the canvas and worked out as needed.
