## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SOLID. Side-by-side with a knock-off, it's the Gold Standard.
*by J***E on August 2, 2016*

Received mine today. Coincidentally, it arrived as I was modifying (fixing) a half-easel for a friend. Friend's was another make.So I had the two easels -- Mabef and knock-off -- side by side in my workshop.I was modifying the knock-off with a magnet to keep the rear leg from falling out every time you picked it up.NO comparison:- The Mabef has a cover over the drawer. The knock-off uses the folding palette as a cover. (You keep the palette over the drawer, whether you like the palette or not .. or all your stuff falls out on the ground.) The Mabef has a cover.- The Mabef hardware is SOLID. The leg wingnuts are HUGE.- The Mabef rear leg locks in and stays in.- The Mabef shoulder straps are leather. A bit small, but ... optics make you feel good.- The Mabef wood has a smooth, solid, kiln-dried feel and appearance.- The Mabef rear leg adjusting nut does _not_ smash into the underside of the storage compartment. On the knock-off, the nut is reversed. The wings of the nut push into the underside of the storage compartment.- The Mabef tin tray has much better-designed dividers than the knock-off.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Easel but Issues with shipping  box cause damage
*by C***R on November 8, 2014*

I'm giving 4 stars since I haven't been out to paint plein air with it yet. I love the easel, however it arrived damaged and was not the exact easel I ordered. In the photo the easel was the version with see-through structure in the area where the canvas is held. I received the solid version (as pictured here). Half of the back of the drawer was broken off. I've seen other reviews where this happened. It's a Mabef issue I suppose as they package their easels for shipping and there is no protection whatsoever for the easel. it is in a box much larger than the folded easel and I can see why it sustains damage. It also had scratches and dings in the wood. As far as the straps, I agree with other reviewers that they are sub par. They need to be thicker and sturdier as also the palette which is not usable with the hardware where it folds in half. It will hold any supplies steady in the drawer while in transit, however. I contacted the vendor about the issues and was given a small percentage refund. Overall, I'm happy with it from what I have seen so far. I think it's going to serve me but Mabef should listen to the suggestions especially about the shipping box!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great plein air easel
*by T***6 on July 25, 2013*

I purchased this easel as an alternative to my full french easel which was too cumbersome for trekking any distance overland and was also too heavy for me to set up one-handed. I also was tired of my pochade box which I felt restricted my gestures. This easel has great hardware and the scale is perfect for my size (smallish female) without restricting the size of my canvas or panel. I personally feel it is superior to the Julian and is worth the slightly higher cost. It is very stable and I have used it on the beach, in fields and on rock surfaces. I love this easel.
