Venice Heavy Duty H-Frame Tabletop Easel vs US Art Supply Medium H-Frame Easel

Buy the Venice tabletop easel if you paint small to medium pieces at a desk and want something that folds flat and stores in a drawer. Buy the Medium Wooden Studio H-Frame if you work standing at a floor easel and need to hold canvases up to 48 inches. The Venice is a compact beechwood H-frame with 7 angle settings and a 23-inch canvas limit; the studio easel is a 21.7 lb floor model with a ratcheting supply tray that moves from 6 to 42 inches. Both are oil-finished German beechwood and both fold flat, but they serve different rooms and different canvas sizes.

• Choose the Venice if you paint at a table, work small to medium, and want an easel that folds flat and travels easily.
• Choose the Medium Wooden Studio H-Frame if you paint standing at a floor easel, use canvases up to 48 inches, and want a tray for paints and brushes.
