I love this easel. It's the size of a small umbrella and folds into an easel. It fits easily in a briefcase or purse and requires no assembly. I have used other easels for trial but this saves me so much time.
For the price I shouldn't probably have any issues with this easel but it is pretty flimsy. For the height the legs are too narrow and not very sturdy. Don't expect to put anything big or slightly heavy on it or you will have issues. We had to tape our display to the easel to keep it from falling.
The ability to collapse the unit is great but because it is basically tent poles you can't adjust the height. And it is flimsy as all get out. It would work better if the connection at the top has the ability to lock the poles in place like the levers that lock out for holding items. I'd return it but the cost of the next step up was outrageous and I need something for the next couple of weeks of presentations.
