Really like this Easel.  I have no problems with tightening the bolts as some others have, but I do have pretty strong hands and fingers.  I can see it being an issue with folks that do not but to me it's very easy.

One thing I wasn't sure of from the pictures that I was really glad to see in person - yes, it DOES have a carrying handle.  I saw no mention of this in the reviews, product description or the picture so I thought it was worth mentioning here!

It's solid wood, very sturdy but not super heavy for all that wood.  The drawer stays in place with 2 luggage-type clasps and the adjustable Easel itself stays in place using bolts (2 wing nuts, 2 round), plus there's a clasp for this as well to help hold it in place during travel.

Couldn't be much happier with this product, it was exactly what I wanted and at a great price.  I'm sure I'll have this for a long time.
