For reliable performance in busy conference meeting rooms, the indestructible Duramax Flipchart Easel is made of high-density polyethylene plastic, which resists scratches and dents to look good for years of hard use. This self-contained unit is lightweight, yet easy to handle. The pedestal base slides out and locks firmly into position. Hand grips molded into the easel body allow easy set-up. Fully extended, its height is 72" (183 cm). A flip chart pad can be inserted into the pad holder without fuss. A compartment in the pedestal keeps markers and tape accessible. In the collapsed position, it makes a perfect tabletop display.
