Use Alvin's versatile Deluxe Aluminum Easel to prop up canvases or drawing pads while you work, to display artwork on the table or floor, or for holding signs or message boards. The sturdy aluminum frame can support up to 25 pounds, but weighs less than three. Rest items securely on the grooved canvas shelf; two sets of shelf brackets can fit paintings or signs 1 1/4-inch thick and up to 48 inches. Includes a brush holder, basin hook and carrying case.
