FAQs

What is the maximum weight this easel can hold?

The easel is designed for decorative items like plates, signs, and crafts. It is not rated for heavy weights; typically, items up to 2-3 lbs should be stable, but this depends on the item's shape and balance.

Can this easel be used outdoors?

While durable, the brass finish is best preserved when kept in a dry, indoor environment. Outdoor use may expose it to moisture and elements, potentially leading to quicker tarnishing or degradation of the finish.

What is the height and depth of the easel?

The easel measures approximately 25cm (10 inches) in height and has a depth of 15cm (6 inches).

How wide is the shelf where the item rests?

The support ledge where the item rests has a width of approximately 20cm (8 inches) when the easel is opened.

Is assembly required?

No, the easel comes fully assembled. It simply needs to be unfolded to the desired display angle.

Will the brass finish scratch easily?

The finish is reasonably durable for its intended decorative use. However, it can be scratched by sharp or abrasive objects. Handle with care to maintain its appearance.

Can I use this for very large or heavy items?

This 10-inch easel is best suited for medium-sized decorative items. For larger or heavier objects, a more robust and larger easel would be recommended.

Troubleshooting

Easel is wobbly

Ensure the easel is placed on a perfectly flat surface. Adjust the angle of the legs to create the most stable triangular base. Check that all hinges are functioning correctly and not loose.

Item keeps slipping off the ledge

Ensure the item is correctly positioned on the support ledge. For very smooth or heavy items, consider using a small, non-damaging adhesive putty or a non-slip mat underneath the item for extra security.

Finish appears dull or tarnished

Gently clean with a soft cloth. If tarnishing persists, use a mild brass polish specifically designed for decorative items, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.
