Great Easel
I had the good fortune to tour the Richeson Easel Factory. I was truly impressed! Incredible craftsmanship, attention to detail, and as I came to find out, service oriented. I would never buy a different brand after seeing what went into it. Extra note: They use Lyptus wood. As hard as oak, but a renewable resource. When you buy one, it tells you all about it. Really fine easels.

Good value
Jack Richeson Full Box French Style Easel

The overall quality is not as good as Mabef easel, which I own and is now being used by another family member. But, at less than half the price, it is more than adequate and is a good value. The easel is just as stable and has the same features as the Mabef, but the fit and finish of the wood and some of the hardware is inferior. One suggestion to improve the functionality is to add the "missing" brass washers to the side thumb-screws that adjust the angle of the box top, which is also the top part of the easel. This little improvement makes it much easier to adjust the angle, as well as making it easier to open and close the box.

Good Value. Decent Quality.
When looking for an easel I was amazed at how expensive they were. I wanted to get one, but wasnt ready to shell out $150 to $400 for a full sized portable easel. My main concern when ordering this easel was the level of quality. When it arrived I was relived to find it was pretty nice. I feel this easel is a great value, and you definitely get your moneys worth. The one thing I would like to be better is the leg strength. They are adequate, but could be stonger/more stable.....however, when painting or drawing, the easel does not move. I recommend this easel.
