Enzie, I found the easel easy to set up, although it's a lot better to have a second person to help you because it's not a small piece of equipment. I've had mine up for a while and I still love it. It doesn't glide up and down effortlessly but it certainly moves a lot more readily than any other easel I've ever had, and I don't think I'd want it to slide more easily than it does because then it might slip when I don't want it to.
So no cogent advice, but I do congratulate you on a very wise purchase. I hope it helps all those aches and pains. Have you tried different angles, or use of a stool? I tend to hold my collection of paint-filled brushes in my left hand and was having serious carpal tunnel issues because my hand was in an upward position, so I've had to remember not to do that. Sometimes it's just a question of figuring out what your body can tolerate. A Sorg easel was a great first step, I think. Do let us know how you like it once it's up.
