I had a whiteboard to display. I weighed and measured it beforehand to make sure I got an easel that said it could hold it. We used this easel for less than 4 and a half hours and it completely fell apart (2.5 hours one day and 2 hours the next). The little arms holding the whiteboard gave out and the legs collapsed beyond repair. I was very disappointed because this was an expensive item! Thankfully Staples gave me a full refund and I was very appreciative. I will likely not buy another Staples brand easel though.
