Placing Your Canvas or Media

The easel accommodates canvases and art boards up to 11" x 14". The 1.4" wide support tray can hold not only stretched canvases and panels but also books or tablets for display.

Adjusting the Working Angle

Utilize the four track-style settings on the support leg to quickly and stably adjust the angle of your working surface. This allows for comfortable painting or drawing positions.

Maintenance

• Wood Care: The easel is crafted from hand-finished premium beech wood. To maintain its appearance, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
• Hardware: The galvanized hardware is rust-proof and durable. Periodically check that all screws and latches are secure.
• Cleaning: Remove any paint or art material residue promptly using appropriate art cleaner for the specific medium. Ensure the easel is dry before storage.

Troubleshooting

• Drawer Sticking: If the storage drawer becomes difficult to open or close, apply a small amount of beeswax or a dry lubricant to the wooden runners. Avoid using oil-based lubricants which can attract dust.
• Easel Instability: Ensure the support leg is fully engaged in one of the notched positions. Verify that the non-slip rubber feet are intact and clean to provide maximum stability on your tabletop.
