Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This item is described as 'reinforced in the product description. It is far from that. One of the plastic housings that cover the area where the leg joins the body, cracked the first time that I used it. That plastic covering is now cemented and taped. So treat it as fragile when you use it. Know that it is fragile before you buy it. Update: After this review was published I was contacted by the seller who was very upset that I was not completely satisfied with their product. They offered to refund my money or to send me another product. I opted for another easel. When it came I put it through its paces to find that this one worked perfectly. I concluded that the problems with the first one were an anomaly. So I changed the rating to 5 stars based on the second easel performance and the seller's concern that their customer was not satisfied with their product and set about to change it.
