Easel Stands - Economical, Functional and Beautiful

By Kylie Scott


Whatever kind of easel stand you need, whether it be a floor mounted whiteboard stand or a tabletop one to display your favorite photograph, there will be one available. Even the cheapest models are attractive and useful, while the more expensive, decorative or adjustable styles are still very reasonably priced, especially considering their usefulness.

Let's start with the purely functional floor easel stand. These are used in schools and for business presentations everywhere. At their simplest, they simply hold a chalkboard or a whiteboard firmly in place, allowing the speaker to enhance his presentation with words and diagrams as he goes along. As a visual aid, this type of presentation remains one of the most effective forms of communication there is.

More expensive models of floor easels can be turned either vertically or horizontally to expose a fresh surface. These easel stands are the perfect answer for those who need to fill one side of a whiteboard and keep the information for later referral. For a "clean slate," simply flip it over.

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.
