I would like to retract my earlier review. This easel does get taller than 6 feet and gets about 7 feet with the extender. I didn't know that the easel could fold in reverse making it stand taller. It does get a little wobbly when it is at the maximum height, but I hardly have to put it up at that height. I've even used it to hold canvases that are 4 feet tall. The easel is very portable and fits in the trunk of my honda. Its about 4 feet long when its folded and is very lightweight. Be careful when you paint outside, the wind can knock it over. I painted by the lake and strong winds can move the easel.

When I first opened the package I thought it looked pretty sturdy. But as I was setting up the easel I noticed that the knob was broken and had to super glue it back together. Now, I am worried about the other knobs breaking. They should have made the knobs out of metal or include a few extra ones. The second flaw is how short this easel stands. Compared to the studio easels that I use at school this one is kiddy size. Good thing I bought the extender. With the extender it's just the right size for an average height person. 5' 10''. If you do get this easel the extender is a must.

This easel has a lot of good points though. It is very sturdy. The metal frame can support canvases of many sizes. It is easy to fold and store away. The construction of this easel is nice and comes with a palette holder. Its is a good easel for the price. I think this easel would be great for children.

The upright piece can easily be adjusted to at least 6' (maybe more). When adjusted up high, the pieces attaching the upright to the legs will be pointing up from the legs, rather than horizontal or downward. It is perfectly stable set up like that. Unless you are incredibly tall, you won't have to sit to work.

This is a great easel. It is very sturdy, and folds easily to put away or travel with. I prefere aluminum -vs- wood because it is easier to clean if paint gets on it. I highly recommend this easel, especially for such a great price!
