I sit on a sofa, reclined with my legs up. Would this easel work in this way?

Yes, make sure it it secured perfectly at the sides, I have even worked with it seated on the floor.

The recliner does not recline very far - you will not be even close to horizontal. The ottoman is fixed - does not move

It's probably better to be shorter to use this, so your knees don't hit the table. The only problem may be that your legs aren't long enough for the full range of motion, but you can fix that by just moving your chair closer imo

I completely agree! I'm having the same problem. The desk seems to be somewhat concave so I thought that might be a problem (faulty/defective). It does seem impossible. My husband is procrastinating on putting the easel on so I'll see what I can do.

Yes. The table stays stationary and the top extends up and towards one side (in this case, toward the sofa). I have one and it works great.

Yes, it should. You might not want the legs folded down because the seat may be unstable, itself, but the tray is very stable to write on. I use it to make cards and necklaces. All sorts of things. As for the previous answer, if you are looking for legs to touch the ground, no, they will not. And stacking books is not a good idea either, but a book open and writing on paper should be just fine.

Depends, honestly, on the angle at which you are sitting. If you are lying in bed, with your knees bent-upward, probably not. If you are sitting down on a couch, or a chair, shouldn't be a problem at all. I would say, because of physics and the way the stand is designed, it would work best anywhere from flat to a slight incline; so long as the iPad is not straight up and down while in the stand.

i don't do pastels, but you could i suppose, but I doubt it would stay that way. I bought this about a year ago, and at this point the part that you put the canvas in doesn't like to stay in place no matter how tight I make it. You can angle the whole thing back or stand it straight up when using it as a table top easel, but i can no longer use it standing up as the legs have become tilted. i didn't actually pay any $$ for it, and i honestly wouldn't get another one if i did have to pay $$.

Though I enjoy this easel unit it is not the best for frequent mobility. There are easels which pivet at the center with a knob on each side for securing any position. The brand name I do not know but the pivet model is your best bet.

I don't have a recliner but I have a hospital bed. When I recline and put the knee part up it sits comfortably. If I'm flat I just have to put one knee up to hold it in place. It's bean bag design makes it very flexible. I love it and everyone I've shown it too does also. I can't speak for your situation exactly but if I had to guess I'd think it workable. The height certainly doesn't seem as if it would be an issue. As I said it sits on a table, on my chest, on my lap...I love it. I'm reading Truman which is about one thousand pages comfortably, which I never expected possible. Hope this helps. I don't have a recliner but I have a hospital bed.

Our easel doesn't wobble but we were concerned about the wood legs scratching our wood floors if our grandson leaned against the easel and moved it. I could not find rectangular rubber leg tips so I bought some vinyl bumpers and put two bumpers on each leg. Now the easel stays in place and will not scratch the floor.

Probably if it's in landscape mode. This thing is really very flexible you could put the legs closer together.

Yes but it won't be as effective. Hard surfaces give a stable base that creates the movement of the cushion. A padded upholstered dining room chair will be fine , a sofa or arm chair won't work.

You can fold the cover back and use it as an easel easily but it doesn't have the piece that the others do to keep the cover from closing. I just did it and it didn't fall when I used it like that. So yes I think it will do well as an easel.

I'm afraid you would find it very difficult to operate the leg and foot support. It takes a notable amount of strength to do so and there is a problem keeping the foot and leg support in the retracted position in this particular recliner.

Unless I missing something with my chair, it does not recline far enough. The way it is designed, it's better used as a working chair. I would not recommend it for relaxing.

That would be nice, but then if you wanted to recline the ottoman would be in the way. Great chair btw! Very attractive and very comfortable!
