Just wondering how heavy this gets after using it to paint a room. I know it is about 4 lbs, but does your arm get sore quickly?

I never noticed it got too heavy while using. It worked really nice no regrets buying.

Nope between refilling with paint and how fast it takes to paint a wall its not heavy at all. I'm a man so to me its not heavy but my be for a woman.

I'm not sure how much this weighs, but it is definitely not heavy. I have no trouble at all holding it. I also use a round brush while drying and have no trouble. It dries very fast also!

I have moved it once 4' x 8'- no problems at all but it was only up for about a month on a lightly textured, painted wall. No damage and it was still very sticky. Definitely a two or more person job.

7-10lbs for sure. I bought the easel to hold a framed architectural rendering for a home i have for sale. No problems yet.hope that helps somewhat.

to me, it feels like it weighs 12 pounds...it really is not that heavy. I bought this for my mother, who is 87 now. She really likes it and the other women think it is a nice unit. I hope this helps in your decision.

no we don't strain the paint. since I ordered this we have painted close to 10000 sq ft with it, works great

I don't know exactly how much it weighs, but it's definitely less than 20 lb; and I also don't know how it compares to the Winsor & Newton watercolor easel, but it's reviews are much better and they are the same price: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0038M1KX8/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1535523722&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00004THRL&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0WXE072YHFNRF9P8QZ1V It was really easy to put together and it is lightweight, I personally think it's a little flimsy, but I tend to brush vigorously at times and that is when I have a problem; as long as you are not using your paintbrush with too much force it is fine. I used some strong electrical tape to secure the part the canvas rests on to the legs of the easel and made sure I taped it in a way that would still allow me to adjust the legs as needed, works for me.

I've used this buffer without any problems due to vibration. I guess it would depend on how long you use it. I do like the way it works. You don't need a lot of pressureand it won't "burn" the paint.

It is a very nice bench, very well built. Heavy , not really. I went and set on mine and pressed down on the arm as I was getting up and it seems pretty sturdy. The finish is great and seems to be holding up. Hope this helps.

Around 3 lbs. Love it for small touch-ups but not for large areas as sweeper head small!

I have had it for over 2 years and it hasn't gotten any softer. I stopped using it because it was just TOO full and doesn't collapse far enough for it to be comfortable. If I rest my arm on my head then it is comfortable, the extra weight helps.

I have been experimenting with painting over concrete furniture. It seems, in my experience, to have a long curing time, but once it has lost its tack, it seems really sturdy. I like it a lot. This is only experimental, I am using for art purposes, rather than what it is typically intended.

I never noticed the weight as heavy or light. I use it for a good 10 minutes and my arms don't feel tired.

I can't weigh it until I get back home to Alaska. My husband got lung cancer last July and he went to heaven on 9/11/13. He used it a lot. I can lift it and shake it and I will be 80 in April. I would say it is between 1 and 2 pounds. I have a small rear in my right rotator cuff so I am going to use it daily to strengthen my upper arm muscles to help that tear. The Dr. agreed that I should do this. It is really fun to shake it.

I use a 4'' paint roller on an extension poll, and pour the Shinekeeper right into a plastic paint tray, dip and roll it onto the floor. Saves my back and works fast. I use the roller to even out the coat as I go along. I've never had an issue with this method. You might have to change your roller pad if you are applying it to a really big space (1000sqft+) - as the nap on the roller gets thin pretty quick.

Not heavy at all....I think it weighs about 10 pounds, but when you turn the rollerbrush on it moves forward pretty much on it's own.I love it!
