CE 300 Easel
Responding to requests for a more modern looking & slightly less expensive easel, the Center-Post model was designed to meet those requirements. It still has the same basic functions of Model 100 except it does not have a tilting painting frame feature, although it could be added upon request. Because of its upright construction and deep main frame, it can be built as a double-sided version, with both sides having the full compliment of functions. This is especially useful for smaller studios where space is at a premium.
