Display Easels for Anything Imaginable
Ever since somebody realized that propping a picture on a shelf against the wall or hanging it from the wall for display was not always the best solution, display easels have been used as an alternative. Today, they are not only an alternative solution, they are often the preferred solution. This is because display easels not only do what they are designed to do so well, but because they enhance the appearance of the objects they hold.
Many display easels are designed to be virtually invisible. This type of easel is ideal when one wants the object on exhibit to be the focus of attention. Making an announcement on a whiteboard might be one such occasion. In this case, you don't want anything to detract from what is being announced. For example, if a meeting is unexpectedly postponed, you may need to set up a whiteboard easel announcing the decision to cancel and giving a contact phone number and other details. The simple tripod easel is ideal for this kind of thing.
Other display easels are designed to enhance the appearance of something. A period art
piece is an example of this. Because easels are now made from such a large number of materials and come in so many styles, it is not difficult to find a stand that matches the theme or era of an artwork. Sometimes, creative artists even take a wooden tripod or bifold easel and hand paint it to go with their work of art. It becomes an integral part of the work of art and is sold along with the painting itself.
Display easels are used in commerce in so many ways, it is hard to enumerate them all. Small businesses use them outside the entrance to catch the attention of passersby. An otherwise unattractive facade with a small window display is easily passed by unnoticed, but with a display stand outside, people will take notice.
When a stand is erected outside a building advertising a special, people take notice and come inside. A downtown cafe is just one of many on the block with a sandwich board outside. An ornate wrought iron easel makes it stand out from the crowd as unique.
A company that doesn't use display stands at trade shows is a company that goes unnoticed. These easels are as indispensable at trade shows and conventions as lighting is. Trade shows take place in vast auditoriums and it is the responsibility of the stall holder to quickly set up their own booth or stall.
In order to save time, trouble and transportation costs, everything from the tables and chairs to the display units at trade shows must be collapsible and as lightweight and sturdy as possible. This is exactly what display easels are. Half a dozen feather weight easels can be carried by hand and erected in minutes, yet can carry heavy loads – up to a hundred pounds in some cases.
These are just a few examples of how tripod stands can be used. Really, the sky is the limit. Display easels can serve every imaginable purpose.

Does an easel make the canvas stand completely vertical?
Or is it on a little bit of a tilt?
Some easels are made to allow the canvas to stand completely vertical. Most do not allow a forward tilt.
Look for H-easels and some of the best convertible easels for the most stable forward tilt.
Most H-Frame easels can be adjusted for a straight perpendicular forward tilt to back tilted angles. They derive a solid stance from their rectangular silhouette and their substantial rectangular bases. Several models accept giant canvases, and some have crank adjustments and paint tray features that offer even more convenience to the painter. These substantial workhorses command a presence in the studio. Many models can be collapsed for storage and transport, but they are heavier and clumsier in their collapsed state than A-Frame and Single-Mast easels.

Most A-Frame easels do not allow a forward tilt. They are also known as Lyre easels, rely on their triangular silhouette to provide a sturdy foundation for your painting. The single rear leg allows for placement in corners and tight spaces. In most models the rear leg can be flattened for easy storage. Most designs do not allow forward tilt of the top of the painting surface, and canvas size can be more limited than some H-Frame models.
Convertible easels serve the artist who is not satisfied to work in one medium. Most are designed to accommodate the needs of oil/acrylic painters while converting to the needs of the watercolorist or pastel painter. Most closely related to the H-Frame family, these easels provide a maximum of flexibility.
Single-Mast easels are the simplest of easel forms. Their more affordable architecture can be appreciated for its elegance but cannot be counted on to provide the same sturdiness or flexibility of the other traditional forms. Single Mast easels are often seen in cramped apartments or school studios where their advantages are clear. They take up less space, they collapse and store with great ease, and they are generally more affordable.
