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:
- Plywood imperfections/patches
- Small chips or dents
- Inconsistent stain
- Flawed laser engraving
The newly updated Tripod Flat Shelf adds versatility and convenience to your plein air setup. Outfitted with 4 powerful neodymium magnets, it securely holds your art supplies and pairs perfectly with our Backboard for a seamless, on-the-go painting platform.
Suitable for watercolor, gouache, oil, and acrylic painting, the shelf can be its own minimal setup when paired with our Backboard or used in combination with our Superlite or Lite Easel if you prefer more workspace.
Designed to fit a wide variety of camera tripods, this platform includes designated brush holes and front corner notches to hang disposable bags, keeping your workspace tidy and efficient. Crafted from sealed Baltic Birch plywood, it’s both sturdy and lightweight. Measuring 14” x 12” and weighing just 1.2 lbs, it easily fits into medium-sized backpacks, ready to follow wherever your creative journey takes you.
Note: Backboard and tripod sold separately.
