BEST Chimayo Easel

Art students love it. Professionals love it. Our customers love it. And so will you!

Best's Chimayo Easels offer a strong and elegant single-mast design. They adjust to a variety of positions for both sitting and standing, and fold flat easily for storage.
Chimayo is perfect for apartment living, for a cottage or second home, for an office or den where space is limited. Many artists choose Chimayo as their second easel. They are elegant and complement any decor, yet they do not require the huge footprint of larger H-frame easels.

Best's full-size Chimayo is a single-mast easel supported by a quad base, giving it greater stability than other single mast easels. It distinguishes itself in being able to support quite a large canvas for a single-mast design, up to 72" tall, and with greater stability. It offers a small utility shelf under the bottom canvas holder. Canvas holders adjust to any position along a fixed mast. Ships from the factory by UPS. Light assembly required.

Like other professional easels from BEST, they are made with hand-rubbed, oil-finished, solid oak. They're popular with students and professionals because of their quality, compactness, and economy.

Top and bottom painting trays slide up and down, then lock securely into place. They have rubber grips to hold the canvas secure. A wedge-lock system keeps the painting from wobbling. Legs have rubber feet to prevent sliding on smooth surfaces.
