Factory Seconds
At Cup Easels, we believe in quality craftsmanship. That’s why we offer our factory second products—fully functional items with minor cosmetic flaws, available at a reduced price. These imperfections not only help reduce waste but also provide an economical option for our customers to keep creating. Cosmetic flaws may include:
Superlite —your starting point for a minimalist customizable painting setup. This stripped-down version of our kits offers an open wood mixing space, perfect for using with smaller palettes or as a surface for mixing oil.
Weighing in at just 700g (1.55lbs), it’s our lightest Superlite easel, compact enough to slip into a carry-on or backpack (22x22x5cm). Handcrafted from precision-cut birch plywood and treated with oil-based stains and sealers.
With quality hardware and neodymium magnets, this easel is lightweight yet sturdy, ready to adapt to your workflow. Set it on your table, mount it on any standard camera tripod, or balance it on your lap. Plus, with a lid that opens a full 180 degrees, you can work flat or at any angle that suits your style.
Customize your setup with a pivot shelve, paint trays and palettes to create the perfect painting environment.
