My start post

Having recently started doing illustrations/comic art, I was desperately looking for a drawing board to draw back-pain-free. I thought I would experiment with a portable drawing board until I could afford a proper drawing table.

I ordered the large one since I thought the SMALL was too small (check the dimensions) and the product arrived within two days of placing the order and was packaged securely. The construction looks pretty solid and the 1/2" board is perfectly flat.

I am not sure if it has a perfect edge (to use a T-square) but it seems workable for now. It has about six different adjustments and the contraption seems to be well-built. The handle and clips are of good quality too.

One thing I would have liked is farther-spaced positions at higher angles because the largest angle you can get with this is approximately 30 degrees (at the last stop you can see in the picture - also, in the picture, the metal stand is placed in the middle before the last stop showing a higher angle than what is possible) - I have heard drawing tables typically incline more than that and would have liked that on this board. But this works great for now. All in all, a good buy.
