I ordered David Sorg's easel in mid-October and it came a couple of weeks later. Assembly was really easy, and the one glitch I had was resolved by emailing David, who had a quick and dirty fix for it and who called me back immediately to tell me about it. I've been using the easel for several weeks now and just love it. It has a light, airy feel to it that enhances the painting experience, but at the same time it's built sturdily and stands up to vigorous brushwork. Changing the top easel support to accommodate different sizes of canvas is a cinch, and once that's done, moving the entire canvas up and down is instantaneous. Although it doesn't float like a feather, I suspect that it will only get more friction-free as I use it. I recommend it highly to anyone looking for a new and friendlier easel.
I had planned to buy a Hughes easel but haven't heard from them since late August and I fear that they were badly impacted by the Florida hurricanes. Although I liked the features they offered, one of my concerns was the lack of a tray, and the Sorg easel tray is just as handy as I hoped it would be. So I'm glad I made the decision to go ahead with the Sorg rather than waiting for the Hughes.
Anyone with questions is welcome to contact me!
