Richeson Academy Easels.... In trying to service a consumer desire for discount art supplies, we all recognized that there is a market for a lower-priced easel line than the Premiere Best Easel Line. Creating it took some magic. In analyzing the cost of a Best Easel, we discovered that four elements were responsible for a great deal of the cost: using the finest red Oak, countersinking screws, hand sanding and assembly. We attacked these elements and in doing so created the Richeson Academy Line of Easels. These easels are the perfect solution for the home hobbyist or cost-conscious student looking for economical, yet functional, school art supplies. Richeson Easels and Taborets are assembled in your home, school, or studio, which saves on shipping. Academy Easels offer a true coming together of quality and affordability without sacrificing function!
