Using this easel stand is easy. First, unfold it from its folded state. Adjust the clip locks to the height you want by pulling them until they lock into place. Set it up with a lower height range and a larger base range to make it sturdier. When you're done using it, fold it back up for storage. Remember to keep the rubber pegs on the leg bases in good condition to prevent slipping. If the clip locks seem loose over time, you can adjust them again. Also, store it in a dry place to prevent the metal from rusting. This easel is perfect for all your lightweight display needs at different events.
