Well this Easel is certainly easy to store as it has foldable legs and a nice bag for storage. Once you start folding it the metal pieces with elastic bands joining them snap into a bundle. I don’t think it’s sturdy enough for regular use if you want to constantly write notes on a pad while teaching an audience. However so far I’ve used it to hold a large map and an easel pad that already had notes prepared. For the price and speed of folding and transport it’s a pretty nice easel.
