Your Beka Easel
Paper Holder
The top mounted paper holder keeps paper handy and out of the
way, even when folding the easel for storage. Slide the wood rod
through your paper roll, orient the roll so it unwinds from it’s top
and passes behind the paper cutter. Secure the rod with bolts,
washers and wing nuts. (optional - pull paper down and behind the
easel’s storage tray; use the bottom of the tray as a cutter.)
Paper Cutter
Pass paper under this wood strip to hold paper
flat against the easel’s art surface and provide a
child-safe way to remove and save art.
Art Surfaces (2)
Choose from chalkboard, dry-erase markerboard, and
washable magnetboard (which is designed primarily
for use with magnets, but serves as a dry-ease
markerboard or washable art surface).
*See care and use information on reverse side.
Storage Trays
Wood and Red Plastic storage trays are available.
Both are sturdy and large, with all the storage space you’ll need.
Natural wood trays complete an all maple easel, while plastic trays
provide a more washable option.
To attach trays, pass bolts through each tray, then through holes in
the easel’s legs, secure them with washers and wing nuts on the
inside surface of each leg.

Large Creative Art Areas
The generous size accommodates a wide age range.
The sturdy “A” - frame and low tray position lets toddlers
safely lean on the easel during use. As children grow,
the entire art surface becomes available,
as do the easels other features.
WARNING—ADULT ASSEMBLY REQUIRED!
Assembly hardware (wing nuts, washers, bolts) are small, so are a
potential safety hazard to children prior to being used to assemble
the easel.
Once assembled, an adult should check hardware
periodically for tightness.
Dispose of plastic bags, packing material and extra hardware to
avoid potential choking hazards.
Pinch Proof “Hinges”
A unique system using durable delrin pins as pivot points in-
stead of metal hinges provides space between legs, eliminat-
ing pinching or a scissors effect when the easel is closed.
Delrin’s strength and flexibility adds longevity to your easel.
Center Storage Platform
This large storage space doubles as a locking system that
keeps the easel from accidentally folding during “heavy use”.
Open the easel; position the platform so its notches rest on
the dowel opposite it’s pivot point. Attach a storage tray over
the notches to lock platform in place. To fold the easel, sim-
ply remove that storage tray (attach the tray to the easel after
folding it to avoid loosing any hardware).
