I've been window shopping for a table easel for some time and have spotted a number of different ones at assorted pricepoints. This Reeves one, I settled on as it was right in the sweet spot of quality and affordability. It's sturdy without being clunky, and the interior compartment can of course be slightly modified to suit the materials used. If I were to say there could be an improvement it would be to have some way of securing a field pad to the interior of the lid for transport, but apart from that, I'm well pleased with my purchase.
