"I've found this easel to be perfect for my paint by numbers kit. It's nice and sturdy, and I love the large size!"

"I primarily bought this easel as a reading stand for my larger art books, but I appreciate its stability and flat surface. It can be angled in five different positions, which is wonderful for my needs!"

"I purchased five of these for my diamond paintings, and I’m quite impressed with the quality. They are well made, and I highly recommend them!"

"I needed a drafting solution and found this board to be compact yet spacious enough for my needs. The adjustable angle is a great feature, and the included t-square is excellent. It's perfect for my studio or when I'm on the go. I highly recommend it!"

"This art board is very well-crafted and substantial. I initially wanted something lightweight, but I appreciate the several notches for adjusting the angle. While it's not the most portable option, it has become a valuable fixture in my workspace. It's definitely worth the price!"

"I needed to expand my desk area for watercolor painting, and this drawing board works perfectly for my needs. I wish it had a notch for a 15° angle, but it's still functional. Thankfully, my T-square is actually square, unlike what another reviewer experienced. Overall, it's sturdy and smooth."

"This drawing board is simple and durable! It alleviates strain on my back since I'm working at an angle, though I was hoping for more adjustable angles. The lowest angle is about 45°, so I feel like I'm missing out a bit, but overall, it serves its purpose well."

"I’m really enjoying my new easel! It fits my desk well, and I had to make a minor height adjustment, but I’m very happy with the quality. It’s well made, and the T-square is a nice addition."

"I've been wanting a drafting table, but the exuberant costs were a major deterrent. I decided to try this drawing board on my current art desk, and it's even better than a drafting table. The extra desk space allows me to keep my art supplies easily accessible. Working at an angle has saved my neck and shoulders from so much grief, especially since I have chronic shoulder tendinitis. I can draw for hours without pain. The board is sturdy with no-slip pegs, and I can easily remove it for other projects."

"As an illustrator, I've been looking for a way to improve my posture while working. I purchased this inexpensive US Supply brand drawing board, and I absolutely love it! Sketching on its lowest slope is very comfortable, and it’s lightweight enough to move around the house. The board does have a slight texture, but it's not an issue for me since I usually draw on pads."

"I wanted a portable drawing board that was lightweight and versatile. This board checks all the boxes! It can be set up at different angles or used flat. It's as sturdy as I need, and I never feel wobbly while drawing. Plus, I can use it in portrait orientation with a standard easel if I want. I highly recommend this product!"

"I bought this large easel for my A2-sized light pad and found it significantly wider and much taller than my previous metal easel. Now, working on larger diamond art projects is much easier and stable. The easel supports up to 23 inches vertically! I'm very pleased with this purchase."

"This portable watercolor easel fits my needs perfectly. It's well made and a nice compact size. I did have to seal the inside of the drawer, but it was an easy fix. Just be cautious that the drawer is only about 13/16 inches deep, so some palettes might not fit. Overall, it’s a great buy for the price."

"Finally, I can paint my 20x16 paint by numbers without bending over a table. This easel is fully adjustable and very well made. It allows me to work comfortably and precisely, which is crucial for my detailed projects. After using it for three months, I can confidently say it was a good buy and well worth the price!"

"I found the field sketch board to be perfect for my needs. The rounded corners are great since I often draw from a recliner due to my bad back. The smooth edges and rubber band help keep my paper in place, making my drawing experience much easier. The size is just right for my 8x12 paper and reference sketches, and it’s exactly as advertised!"

"As an artist, I appreciate being able to sit comfortably on the couch while drawing. The lightweight design allows me to secure my paper with ease, and the rubber band is handy for rotating my work. It’s sturdy and perfect for my drawing needs, and I can even use it for homework!"

"I bought this for my 13-year-old artist daughter for Christmas, and it was a huge hit! I was pleasantly surprised by its sturdiness despite the low cost. She carries it everywhere and the rubber band keeps her supplies in place. It has held up well to her enthusiastic use, making it a fantastic gift for any artist!"

"I received my drawing board in pristine condition. The packaging was excellent with protective features that kept it safe during shipping. Setting it up was a breeze, and it worked perfectly right out of the box. I love how the parallel bar slides smoothly when used flat or at a shallow angle. I have it on a rolling height adjustable table, which I made from Rockler plans."

"As a hobby woodworker, I've found it challenging to draw plans on my kitchen table. This drawing board has been a game changer! I can easily set it up on various surfaces and fold it away when I'm done. Having taken drafting in college, I find this board to be a quality product that I’m sure will last a long time. I just wish I had gotten one sooner!"

"I think this is a decent drawing board overall. I appreciate the corner protectors and the sturdy feel of the product. However, I measured the incline angles and found them to be lower than stated. The maximum angle I could achieve was 46.40 degrees, not the 60 degrees advertised. Despite this, I still find it useful for my needs."

"As an artist, I absolutely love this board. It lets me sketch larger pieces on the go without being tied to a table! It's very sturdy, and the clips hold the paper down well. I did receive mine with a dent in the clip, but the seller was quick to replace it."

"I find the clips to be very sturdy, and the rubber band prevents my corners from crinkling while drawing. The handle makes traveling easy. Plus, hard pencil marks don't leave any imprints. I really love it!"

"This board is perfect for me as an artist who wants to take my creativity outside of my home studio. It's great for larger pages like 11x17+. An ordinary clipboard just wouldn't do! The hard, low-density fiberboard ensures that it lasts, and the smooth surface is ideal for drawing. The latches keep everything in place, and the cut-out handle makes it easy to carry."

"I've been looking for a sturdy easel, and this one is just the right size for my tabletop use. It turned out to be the best among the ones I've bought over the years!"

"I think this easel is a great idea. However, I found some craftsmanship issues; the t-square was a bit off, and one of the dovetails came apart. Still, I managed to fix what I could."

"My daughter is thrilled with this art desk! It’s everything she wanted for her painting and drawing. Although it arrived with a broken drawer, my husband glued it, and now it's solid."

"I find this board to be the perfect size for sketching. It's incredibly durable and has a nice smooth surface. Plus, it's lightweight yet feels sturdy, all at a great price!"

"I bought this clipboard for my grandson, who is a budding artist. It works wonderfully, and I would definitely buy it again!"

"While the sketch board looks nice, I was disappointed that it arrived with a damaged corner. I often place my sketch board on an easel, and an uneven broken corner could be problematic. I might consider sending it back."
