I’ve been painting full-time for almost 20 years, but I’ve never actually owned a nice easel. Every studio easel I’ve had up to this point has eventually fallen apart — stripped screws, loose joints, or pieces that just couldn’t stand up to daily use. I’ve made do for years, always telling myself I’d upgrade “someday.”
That’s why getting the BEST Santa Fe 2 felt like such a big deal. It’s the first time I’ve had an easel that truly feels built to last — solid, beautiful, and made for a lifetime of painting.
Unboxing & Setup
I thought assembling such a substantial easel might be complicated, but it couldn’t have been easier. It arrived mostly assembled with clear, straightforward instructions. The only tool I needed was a drill for attaching the winch block—everything else was just tightening knobs and sliding pieces into place.
If you’d like to see exactly how it goes together, here’s my unboxing video:
