Hello, I have a 40.5" in width and 28.5" in height picture that is framed. Will this easel hold it? I want it to stand on the ground.

As long as the picture isn't heavy - more than 12-15 pounds it should be fine.

It should. I've used it for poster board 36" wide and 24" high and seems to be enough space for something a little bigger.

I have this funky old canvas background that I use that is at least 15lbs. I wouldn't push it much more than that, probably could do 20lbs. I would make sure that the weight is very evenly balanced.

It's thick but not stable enough to stand on an easel. I used them to hang posters on walls

Yes. My granddaughter just turned 3 and is very tall for her age, not sure how many inches she is now but she was 36 inches tall at 2-1/2. This easel is still quite a bit taller than she is. It's very sturdy also. She was able to comfortably crawl into the space between the easel sides and sit. She thinks it is her fort.

It would work fine for holding the picture. I have a large canvas picture on one and a large wooden framed picture on another.

Even the LOWER edge support-is adjustable up to about 42" off the floor. This easel is for larger work than yours if you cannot reach eye level I think. The top piece can go WAY up-over 80". Re: there are 2 grooves on each side that you can slide them up or down, then tighten. Stuck/sticky? try hand sanding the groove a bit and rub a candle there to make it smoother gliding. If you know a good carpenter--they can route a piece to fit above the metal piece and use that as a lower bar, or try and put that lower piece above the metal tab half way up the center wood instead of below it? Might work 4 U.

it will be a little tall, but the child can still enjoy the lower half of both sides, and will soon grow into it! Wonderful easel. Takes a wee while to set up, but very sturdy.

Hi,I used the easel for the same purpose - purchaed a 30 x 50 frame and displayed wedding seating chart. Easel is beautiful and very stable - I'm sure it will work fine for you on patio

first of all I love my French field easel. How large does it get? Well, you start out with an easel all folded up to about the size of a slightly oversized briefcase. Once fully extended and completely set up you have a full blown easel capable of holding your canvas, your supplies, and your brushes. I use a second carrying case for all my tools and brushes as a backup along with extra paint. The easel itself is really well built as long as you don't drop it or over tighten the wing nuts. Once you get the knack 4 disassembling it you will be amazed at how compact it is. But it is not a flimsy piece of crap. I own two French easels both purchased on Amazon. I bought my first one used and loved it so much I bought a new one slightly smaller as my backup because I like to do two paintings at once when I'm in a field setting or when I'm in the woods. if you are truly inspired by painting this French field easel is much better and more convenient than the metal stands and the other types of easels I have found in art stores. for painting on location, in remote areas, or simply in your backyard, the portability is great. Good luck and I hope my comments help you out.

I'm sorry to say that my easel arrived damaged, and it won't hold anything. The plastic is very fragile and easily broken, so I would recommend purchasing a sturdier product.

Yes, it should. It's not the sturdiest, but I own an auction house and we use several of these to display paintings, some in heavy frames.

Hi Judith, It's easy to set up, each knob tightens or losses to allow for a wide variety of angles. I bought two different size clip boards to rest on the easel which hold paper or canvas. I absolutely love mine for the studio and plan on ordering another for home use too!

I completely agree! I'm having the same problem. The desk seems to be somewhat concave so I thought that might be a problem (faulty/defective). It does seem impossible. My husband is procrastinating on putting the easel on so I'll see what I can do.

When raised to the full height the outside edge clearance is about 75 inches, 6'3". There are no center supports that hang down so fitting an easel 7 tall would be ok, but 8 foot is ok in the very center as long as the width is not more than 4 feet, (2 feet either side of center) wide. Over all construction is better than most of the Easyup units. We really like ours with the easy set up and overall construction.

You can fold the cover back and use it as an easel easily but it doesn't have the piece that the others do to keep the cover from closing. I just did it and it didn't fall when I used it like that. So yes I think it will do well as an easel.

The easel stands well horizontal or you can flip it over to a typewriting style. It does not stand well vertical, you may have to prop it against something.

The desk height when opened is 24" from the ground. When the desk is opened, the width is 24" and the height of the entire easel is 45 1/2 ".
