Easel Stands for Every Budget and Need

By Kylie Scott


Whatever you need, be it an easel stand for whiteboard presentations or a decorative model for showing off your finest antique china, there will be one that will suit your needs to a "tee." Some styles are purpose-built and very cheap in price, but not in quality. Others are handcrafted or meticulously machined to serve a multitude of purposes.

The type of easel stand you typically find in classrooms everywhere is an example of a purely utilitarian stand. These serve one purpose only: to carry a whiteboard at a convenient height for both the user and the viewers. It has been a standard visual aid in classrooms for generations and is yet to be surpassed as a vehicle for enhancing any form of lesson or presentation.

A more elaborate floor easel may be flippable vertically or rotatable horizontally. This kind of easel stand is ideal when a presentation requires one to refer back to previous information or to use one side of the board to display a promotional poster and the other to aid him in his presentation.

Easel stands are also noteworthy for their extreme portability. In a classroom setting, a coaster model can be easily shifted from one part of the classroom to the other or tucked into a corner when it's not needed. A whiteboard stand like this need not be fully collapsible, since in remains in one general area, but would not be appropriate when greater transportability was needed. There are other styles available for this.

The collapsible tripod or bi-fold easel is an ideal solution for the salesman on the go. Lightweight and compact, it can be taken anywhere and erected in seconds. The simplest models fold flat only, while slightly more expensive models will have telescoping or collapsing legs that make them even more compact. Constructed of lightweight, powder-coated aluminum, they are both functional and attractive.

Tabletop easel stands, too, come in an enormous variety of sizes and styles. You can find general purpose stands and stands that have been designed for specific uses. Because it can be folded up and tucked under the arm, it is the most easily transported style available. A lectern stand is perfect for securely holding lecture materials, while a small whiteboard can be used for desktop presentations.

Not to be overlooked are the hundreds of decorative uses easel stands can be put to. Works of art, rare or favorite books, family photographs, collectible plates and even fine wines are just a few of the many uses decorative easels can be put to.

The combination of utilitarian construction with an attractive design makes the ideal easel stand. An easel like this is not hard to find and is remarkably inexpensive.
