I just ordered my new Sorg easel as well and after reading all these posts I am feeling more and more comfortable about this investment. Since December I had been working on a painting which involved a great amount of detail (working with mini brushes) and my right shoulder blade has been in constant pain. Even while standing at my easel, I would experience lower back pain. Needless to say, the old easel is sturdy but the artist is slowly falling apart.
I couldn't handle the constant adjusting and readjusting of the multitude of knobs anymore and figured there had to be something out there that is more artist friendly.
Do you have any suggestions what I should look out for before setting up the easel?
