Stanrite - 180 Aluminum Easel

180 Aluminum Easel

Sturdy aluminum table easel handles full-size canvases up to 24 inches

Aluminum construction eliminates the wobble that plagues lighter table easels when you're working with any pressure. Stanrite's 180 model accommodates canvases up to 24 inches tall, substantial work for a tabletop setup, while maintaining rigid stability through aggressive brushwork or palette knife application. The 12-inch-wide lower support grips canvas edges securely, and an integrated shelf keeps brushes within reach without cluttering your work surface.

At 31 inches open height, this easel positions work at a comfortable angle for seated painting sessions. The 14-inch front leg span and 11-inch front-to-back footprint create a stable base that won't tip during color mixing or when you're leaning in for detail work. Built-in wire handle lets you transport wet canvases from classroom to storage without smudging surfaces, particularly useful for instructors managing multiple student pieces or artists working in shared studios. Aluminum withstands the inevitable paint drips and solvent exposure that come with regular studio use, maintaining structural integrity where wood might warp or corrode.
