Michael,

Thanks for the tip, and the thumbs up. If I could I'd be doing cartwheels!

Marvin,

Chances are this easel will get a nice patina of paint over the years. My big concern is pastel dust, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

My dog (big) is happy too. She always lays at my feet and has tipped my old easel numerous times. She can't even wiggle this one! She's smiling.

Jean
