I researched easel stand options for painting and drawing lately because I need something strong, adjustable, and easy to use for my art setup. After checking reviews on The New York Times Wirecutter, Creative Bloq, and Artist Network, these two models are consistently listed among the top choices:
U.S. Art Supply Large Beechwood Easel

U.S. Art Supply 66" Aluminum Field Easel

Both seem to offer great value, but I’m unsure which one would suit my needs better. I usually work on medium-to-large canvases using acrylics and watercolors. I paint mostly at home but also enjoy doing outdoor sessions occasionally, so I’m looking for the right balance between stability and portability.
The Beechwood easel appears sturdy and perfect for studio use, while the Aluminum 66" model seems more compact and convenient for travel or outdoor art.
If anyone here has tried either of these easels, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Which one do you think performs better for everyday use and long-term durability thanks in advance for your advice and recommendations
