Before You Buy
While you probably already know if you need a tabletop or floor easel, consider where you'll be using it to narrow down what material or style to buy. For shopping malls and convention centers, a minimalist black metal easel will blend into the environment, letting your poster boards do all the talking. An upscale restaurant or art gallery might choose a wood option to support a certain aesthetic and make visitors feel welcome. If you're going to be traveling with your easel, you might want to put function over form, and go for an easel that's durable, collapsible, and height adjustable to get the most use out of your purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Easels can be used to display signage in retail settings and event spaces. They're also great for presentations, either for showing artwork and renderings or used with flipcharts. Smaller easels are often used by bookstores, libraries, and author events to highlight a single book, but they can be used to show off a variety of products at retail, as well.
That depends on what you're displaying. Most of our floor standing easels can comfortably support common poster sizes, but it's always a good idea to look at the overall size of the easel to judge whether your media will be a good fit. Adjustable easels allow for a greater range of sizes
It depends on the model. Many of our easels are designed with portability in mind — featuring collapsible frames, lightweight materials, or included carrying cases for easy transport. Others are built for permanent or heavy-duty display, offering greater stability instead.
You can check the "Specifications" section on each product page to see if an easel is listed as portable or includes a carrying case. For a quick overview, you can also browse our full selection of portable easels to find options made for travel, trade shows, and on-the-go presentations.
Tabletop easels are great for small spaces like cashwraps, event display tables, or trade show booths.
