I'm not sure if you'll hear from anyone who has one of my easels on the Forum; I only made a couple of dozen of them (at $1100) before I stopped making them for a couple of reasons. One reason was that I was turning into an easel builder instead of a painter. And even at that price I wasn't making very much money, not that money was much of a motive.
But better, I'd been approached by an art supply company that loved the design and wanted to have them manufactured in quantity. That whole process took a lot longer than I would have thought, but they did a wonderful job and the price dropped by half or more. And though it's highly unlikely that I'll get rich selling them, I'm no longer sweeping sawdust out of my studio.
Finally, to answer your question, Cindy, there are two knobs on the paint tray that are used to lock in the position if you want to, though I find that I rarely do since things seem to stay put.
I'm working on getting a couple of references on the website, but privately could give you a few names...
