DRAWING DONKEYS

The Barnesville Drawing Donkey (aka drawing horse or drawing bench) is an old classic that we’ve improved and made stackable. The seat is both unusually long and narrow, improving user comfort and providing the ability to slide back and examine work. Weighing only 14 pounds, it’s easy for students to rearrange and stack while still strong enough to support 300 pounds.

The Barnesville Drawing Donkey is made of 1″ 16 gauge tubular steel that is welded for strength. The base is powder coated in middle gray, and the top is ½”  MDO* board with polyurethane coating, riveted to the steel base. It has reinforced nonskid rubber feet.

The Drawing Donkey seat height is 14″,

the seat measures 39″ x 9″,

the base footprint is 42″ x 15″, and its

weight is 14 lbs.

*Medium density overlay panel: plywood with a weather-resistant resin overlay

The Barnesville Stak Easel™ was designed for multi-use studios. Weighing only 18 pounds, it’s easy for even small students to stack to reconfigure your space

What's the big deal with two posts?

Many easels support work on only a single post. They may have three posts, but the locking unit, the principal point of support, is on the center post. 

Both the Barnesville Slope and Stak Easels™ are true two-post easels, providing stable support at two points

The Stak Easel™ uses a pair of clips to secure stretchers to the easel. Adjusting individually means they readily accommodate asymmetrical canvases.

The tensioning knob on the support ledge of the Slope Easel is centered, but it tightens the interior steel bar against both outside posts for maximum stability. We think this simple design choice results in the sturdiest, most dependable easels available—our two-post easels can reliably support the largest and heaviest artwork.
