Setup Instructions
Your sxvbdway Beechwood French Easel is designed for straightforward setup. While it arrives largely pre-assembled, some adjustments may be required to prepare it for use.
- Unpack the Easel: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts are present and undamaged.
- Position the Easel: Place the easel on a flat, stable surface.
- Adjust Height: Loosen the adjustment knob on the central mast. Extend the mast to your desired working height. The easel offers a full-range height control from 24 inches (61 cm) to 65 inches (165 cm) for both seated and standing work. Tighten the knob securely once the desired height is achieved.
- Adjust Canvas Support: The lower canvas support can be moved up or down to accommodate different canvas sizes. Loosen the adjustment button (refer to image below) and slide the support to the appropriate height for your canvas. Ensure it is securely tightened.
- Tilt Adjustment: The easel features a 360° canvas tilt mechanism. Loosen the plum screws to adjust the canvas angle, then tighten them to lock the position. This allows for upright positioning for oils/acrylics or a flat position for watercolor/gouache.

Operating Instructions
Once set up, the easel is ready for use. Follow these guidelines for optimal operation:
- Placing Your Canvas: Rest your canvas or drawing board on the lower support ledge. Secure the top of the canvas by adjusting the upper clamp down onto it. The easel can hold canvases up to 39 inches (99 cm) in height.
- Using the Storage Drawer: The integrated drawer provides convenient storage for paints, brushes, and other art supplies. Pull the drawer out to access its contents. Ensure the drawer is fully closed when moving the easel or when not in use to prevent items from falling out.
- Adjusting for Different Mediums:
- For oil or acrylic painting, maintain an upright or slightly tilted canvas.
- For watercolor or gouache, adjust the canvas to a flatter, more horizontal position to prevent paint from running.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your easel and ensure its continued performance.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the wooden surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Hardware Check: Periodically check all screws and knobs to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain stability.
- Storage: When not in use, store the easel in a dry environment away from extreme temperature changes or direct sunlight to prevent warping or cracking of the beech wood.
- Drawer Care: Keep the storage drawer clean and free of debris to ensure smooth operation.
