Best Rio Grande Easel

This multifunctional easel is ideal for a beginning or intermediate artist. It supports canvases up to 48" tall, and adjusts quickly on a sturdy quad base to a variety of settings for sitting and standing. The middle canvas tray is perfect for smaller works.

Rio Grande is an excellent choice for painters who share space with other members of the family. The upper frame jackknifes into the lower frame, and the easel folds flat for storage.

In its most compact setting, Rio Grande measures only 45" long, small enough to stow in the trunk of a compact car, or on the back seat of a sports sedan. It's one of the most portable studio easels you can find on a quad base.

Like all Best easels, Rio Grande is made of beautiful and durable handrubbed, oil finished solid oak. Canvas holders have rubber grips to keep the canvas secure.
