Portable Art Easel for Painting, QINUKER French Style Wooden Artist Easel & Sketchbox, Wooden Pallete and Shoulder Strap

Ships directly from China via DHL. The item was well-protected during shipping. I got it within five days.The "it" of the easel is very nice with the two extra wooden shelves you can hook on to various hangers on the easel's sides. You also get a plastic mixing tray and two rubber tea tray paint boxes with 10 individual slots in each. The nylon carry strap has a shoulder pad and solid clips. The tripod stand is typical aluminum with plastic tighteners. It works well.The easel itself -- I got the green watercolor one -- has a dull finish. It's so dry it's already starting to get scuffs and cracks at the corners.The real problem, though, is all the hardware that connects the tripod to the easel is of horrible quality. Bolts and washers are rusted. Almost all the metal is oxidizing in one way or another. The "paper holder" is the bent corner of a hinge. I would never throw this over my shoulder and take it outside because I'm fairly sure the bolts might crack or leave me needing a tetanus booster.I'm feeling a little cheated considering the overall price. I'm attaching a series of photos for others to see what they might be getting.
