Hint — click a thumbnail to enlarge.

Lyptus premium hardwood is grown on well-managed plantations in South America, making it the eco-friendly choice for the global consumer.

Lyptus wood is from hybrid eucalyptus trees, which mature in 14–16 years (other hardwoods take up to 60 years). Lyptus trees sprout from the stump of previously harvested trees, so the forest is always renewing itself!

The wood is harder than oak, enabling easels made of Lyptus to withstand the wear and tear of everyday use.

I Like This Easel

By Jenni

from Burbank, CA

Comments about Richeson Basset Studio Easel:

I am very happy with the Bassett easel. It doesn't take up too much floor room in my small apartment and is attractive. It is easy to adjust and very stable. I do have one complaint. The directions for putting it together were terrible. Very inadequate photos with no words of explanation. The directions online were even worse. But somehow I did get it together and I love it.

Solid, reasonably priced, easy assembly

Comments about Richeson Basset Studio Easel:

Just arrived. It appears to have a couple of small design upgrades from the photos. I'm still setting up my studio so I haven't painted on it yet. Assembly took about 20 minutes using a Philips screwdriver. Construction is solid; lyptus is a great choice of wood; hardware is simple but looks sturdy - with the possible exception of the six threaded plastic knobs. I have installed replacements that have threaded steel inserts. They are standard 1/4"-20 threads and should be easy to find at a big box store or online woodworking supplier.
