Troubleshooting
Easel is wobbly
Ensure the easel is on a flat, stable surface. Check that the wooden legs are fully extended and aligned.
Paint or decoration is not adhering well
Ensure the wood surface is clean and dry before applying paint or adhesive. Lightly sanding the surface may improve adhesion for some mediums.
Easel doesn't hold the item securely
The easel is designed for small, flat items. Ensure the item's weight and size are appropriate for the easel's capacity. Consider adding a small non-slip strip to the easel's resting surface.
