This just popped up and it looks interesting.

Help me! I'm sucker bait for these kind of things. Please, tell me why I should or should not buy this. I know it's an artist's easel but it sure looks like it could be used for maybe drafting or pattern design or ?????? For $28 it just looks too good to pass up.

Set the hook!   Reel him in!   

I know...I see something neat and wonder what I could use it for...

 have a pop up type table like that I use for drawing and its very handy sometimes.  That one you will need to put some sort of backer on so keep that in mind,  of course it will have to be very smooth too otherwise you will get all sorts of squiglies when you try to draw.  Just put a piece of paper on what you think is a smooth piece of wood now and see the hassle it can be,. \

Got mine at hobby lobby with a 40% off coupon for installing the app.  cost less than 20 and its about 2-3 feet wide.

Don't look bad for price I could see it as a book holder and storage. Figure in time and materials to build it not a bad price but figure in a few extra dollars for tax as eBay is going to start collecting sales tax.
