What the Falling in Art Field Easel is

The Falling in Art Field Easel is a French-style field and sketchbox easel: a box with a sliding drawer for supplies, a removable palette, a flat working board on top and three telescopic aluminum legs.

It weighs 9.35 lb empty. Slots on the board hold canvases from 6 inches up to about 31.6 inches tall, and the listing says it works as a floor easel or a desktop easel.

Key features, explained

    The listing calls it lightweight at 9.35 lb empty. The MEEDEN French Easel lists 14.3 lb.

  • Telescopic aluminum legs

    Three legs extend for standing work and retract for tabletop use, so one easel covers both.

  • 12.5 x 17.4 inch flat working board
