Review: Just what I was looking for - This was very easy to set up, Ulta light. Compact easel fits easily into my painting bag. The top and plastic shelf fits nicely in my bag as well and are both very sturdy. I love you can adjust the top part for watercolor. The shelf does a great job holding my painting palette and water. The thing I noticed the top is a little wobbly so best not to over load. But a 12x15 watercolor pad works fine. The easel is light weight so heavy winds could be problematic, I figured hanging my small cooler bag with a few water bottles will help with that. Other possible problem nobs and levers and top latch are all plastic. So important to be gentle with these when adjusting. I noticed too the protective cap, looks like you could put a small camera on it as you can see the screw on top. I have not tried that. So overall I recommend, for the price it's a great entry level easel to see if you enjoy plein air watercolor. Not recommended for any thing using large panels. I look forward to to using this outside and inside as well.
Review: it is as described and well priced... - very light ... I have heavier one for outdoors but this is for inside... its too good to pass up for the price. small to carry when traveling

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can additional or replacement palettes be ordered?**
A: Looks like they aren’t $54.97 anymore and they never followed through with this request for a replacement pallet. I wanted to recommend this to a friend as I have one already but seeing the price soar and this empty promise has made me reconsider recommending it to anyone. I realize there was a pandemic to deal with but that was 3 years ago so it would seem there's no excuse for forgetting all about this. I'm disappointed and would like to think the seller will finally address this, but am not holding my breath.

**Q: How do you separate the plastic pieces without breaking them? The instructions should include tips about how to accomplish this.**
A: You are correct. There are no instructions for separating the parts. We had three people trying to separate them without breaking the plastic. The narrow hinged piece (leg) on the back of one disengages at the two edge tabs: pry apart gently. The two flat parts slide apart, and not easily. They are very tight together, but do slide apart.

**Q: Hello Seller, can i buy only the palette without the tripod?**
A: Hi there,
Thanks for your inquiry, the palette palette is not sold separately.

**Q: Has anyone figured out a solution to use this palette on a decent tripod? product has potential but that tripod is just such a piece of junk.**
A: This tripod works fine if you stabilize it by hanging something heavy with a carabiner clip from the center post.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Value for the Money, Great Design, but I'm Afraid it's Going to Break
*by K***N on November 26, 2023*

I just got this easel so I should wait until I try it out before reviewing, but it's raining out so I have time now. I got it on sale so I feel like I got a good deal and it's better than I expected. It's lightweight, has a great design, lots of room for mixing color and can hold a larger watercolor block than some of my other easels. I also own the more expensive Plein Air Pro, and this is like a toy compared to that--BUT that is so big and heavy it's sometimes not practical to use. So, I look forward to using this easel. Some negatives I've noticed, and pointed out by others, is that the tripod is made out of cheap plastic and so I need to remember to treat it gently. I also found the part that holds the paper to be a bit wobbly but maybe I'm just not tightening the right screws. I was able to tighten it some--and it seems usable. The white plastic parts are heavy and well made--I was impressed with those. I wish it used a standard Arca quick release plate, but it does come with it's own version for a camera or something else if you were desperate for a tripod. Overall I'm pleased. I bought this tripod just to have a backup or for guests but I'm now excited to get out and use it myself. Might become the favorite if it doesn't break! UPDATE: I've been using the easel and it's terrific. Easy set up and it holds a decent size watercolor block and has plenty of room for mixing paint. It is a bit flimsy and you need to treat it gently (so it won't break) but the design is incredible. One suggestion (if the Meedeen people read these reviews) would be to make the part that holds the paper gray instead of reflective white. I could also say make the whole thing sturdier but then I'm sure it would cost a lot more. It's a great value for the price, especially if you can get it on sale. I have a more expensive easel that is similar design and the experience painting on them is about the same. The expensive one is sturdier, but heavier and requires a bigger bag to carry.
