Stand: FAQ

How do I ensure the stand height fits my workspace?

Always check the maximum and minimum height specifications in centimeters rather than generic terms like 'large'. Measure your seated or standing eye level to ensure the easel's center point aligns with your natural posture.

What is the difference between beechwood and pine stands?

Beechwood is a high-density hardwood that resists warping and offers superior weight for stability. Pine is lighter and more affordable but can be prone to denting; look for 'seasoned' or 'varnished' wood to ensure long-term durability.

Can these stands support heavy canvas or digital monitors?

Check the 'Max Load Capacity' in the product description. For heavy canvases, prioritize H-frame designs over tripod styles, as they provide a wider base and more secure center of gravity.

How are bulky art stands protected during international shipping?

Reputable sellers use reinforced corrugated cardboard and internal foam padding. Review buyer photos to confirm that the seller uses corner protectors, which are essential for preventing wood splits during transit.

Recommendations for buyers

✓
Material Integrity
Choose anodized aluminum for outdoor 'en plein air' painting due to its rust resistance, or oiled beechwood for permanent indoor studio setups.
✓
Adjustment Mechanisms
Look for metal-to-metal locking knobs rather than plastic friction grips, as these provide a more secure hold for heavy drawing boards.
✓
Angle Versatility
Ensure the stand offers a full range of tilt. Watercolorists require a completely horizontal setting, while oil painters need a slight forward tilt to avoid dust.
✓
Footing Stability
Check for non-slip rubber feet or spiked feet options. This is crucial for maintaining a steady surface on uneven outdoor terrain or polished studio floors.
