Am trying to find a sturdy easel to hold up 20 pound mirror on mantle. Thought if I had one on each end, it would hold it up. Is this sturdy enough?

This stand will support 20 pounds (we placed 2 ten pound weights on it), but the dimensions, particularly height, would factor in.

It depends on how rough/smooth the mantle is. I have this stand on a granite countertop, and the base slides open pretty easily. If you do it, I would recommend putting some kind of stopper in front of each of the front feet, like a piece of rubber or something. Good luck!

I dont think so- and Im not sure its large enough. I use it for cookbooks and love it but not sure I'd put a mirror into it

I really love this cookbook stand, but I don't know that I'd use it to hand a mirror.

Yes, I think this would be sturdy enough. It is very, very well made and with one at each end I believe they would easily hold 20 lbs. I have a couple of other concerns though. When you open this cookbook stand for use, it is a full 9 inches front to back at the base. Is your mantel 9 inches wide, front to back? Also, will your mantle hold 20 lbs? Good luck. You will love this beautiful stand if the measurements allow for the use of it.

I'm not really answering your question, but I've been using this board on an easel that I purchased from Amazon as well. I use a small bungee cord to keep it from tipping off (a lesson learned with a nice dent in the hardwood floor). I bought this for alphabet magnets for my 2 year old and both together work perfectly. I can adjust the height so it's at 2 year old height.Lightweight Aluminum Telescoping Display Easel, Black

As far as the weight I think yes it will definitely hold the 20 LBs. However I believe if you glue it as soon as you come within 1/4" of whatever metal you're attaching it to it might rip itself or the sculpture with it when it attaches to the metal. The attraction force up close is VERY violent.

Because it would have a base to tie to if you were to hang it upside down, it would be feasible to attach it to an easel. Mine is inoperative since I wanted it for a picture light and it is basically out of reach for the VERY frequent battery replacement it requires. It does not put out a lot of light. I was disappointed on both counts: battery life and inadequate illumination.

The easel was a gift to our grandchildren who live far from us . We haven't had the pleasure of seeing them work with it . Sorry we couldn't give you an answer . Ask a seller . C.J.R.

Absolutely not unstable! I bought this for my primary school grandchildren to use at our summer cabin. Before they had a chance to use it, our teenage grand nieces were visiting. They spent hours and hours doing all sorts of heavy duty antics on it. It has never tipped over or even tipped anyone off. GREAT item! I will most likely get one for our primary residence as well.

I have used mine with large books. Initially when all of the weight is on one side it might be a little tricky, but it can certainly hold the weight.

We bought only for decoration but I think it is sturdy enough to withhold the weight as you describe it. I hope that helps.

I purchased this bookshelf and it is great!, it is very strong, will it hold the weight of the books? yes, but... if there is any floor inclination... then it might fall forward. I am using it for computer devices, and other related game accessories.

There are three settings for the height of both sides of the easel so I would guess it is just right. Be aware that the legs are a bit spindly and one of mine arrived split.

It is fairly flat probably should work depending on the easel. It has fabric on the bottom that allows the "tent" to form when you stand it up so there is some small bulk there, but I'm thinking it would be ok.

I doubt it would hold a mirror to a wall. Although it is very sticky, it is not very thick. It is more suitable for paper.

Hi there I use it for a much larger painting ,high up on a living room wall and a very dark colors painting....so unfortunately it is not strong enough, but we still love it.we also use it for a smaller brighter painting in the dining room and there it is fine. So I believe it should be ok for yours...

We bought it as a kid's bookshelves, it has been great but it is not very sturdy as it is cheap, the "wood" cracked after a little bit, we end up dumped it after a year or so. We did put lots of books on it, they are very heavy, I think if you only want to put light items on it, it should be ok.

It's not that rigid. It would likely flop over if put against an easel. It shouldn't fold down in a vertical line from how I've seen it, but horizontally has much more allowance for such folding.

Its very very heavy. It would not tip over. I have kids who play with it at times. Its not a problem. You would be happy with it.
