Testrite #1450 Superior Studio Easel

Testrite's aluminum studio easels are an outstanding choice for the artist who has limited space, and needs an easel that is compact and lightweight, one that folds away easily for storage. They support a lot of canvas, yet they fold flat to fit into the back of a small closet in a big-city apartment.

Aluminum combines strength and durability in a lightweight easel. The easel's simple A-frame geometry supports a lot of canvas for its size and weight — canvases up to 86" high when canvas supports are adjusted to full vertical extension. The easel also has an inclinable center section for tilting canvases forward up to 30°.

Testrite's #1450 Superior Studio Easel stands 90" (229 cm) when opened and extended, 60" (152 cm) when closed. Its folding rear leg makes the #1450 easy to adjust, move, and store. A 24" (61 cm) wide bottom shelf with palette holder adds rigidity and stability. Legs are rubber-tipped, to prevent slipping and sliding. It weighs 8½ lb (3.85 kg).
