About maxtek
maxtek has designed whiteboards and dry-erase markers for more than twenty years, building a catalog that spans wall-mounted boards, height-adjustable tripod easels, frameless tempered-glass boards, and cork and combination boards for office, classroom, and home use. The company states it has served 550,000 customers and lists itself as an Amazon Top Seller in the whiteboard category.
Every maxtek board ships with an aluminum frame and a three-layer painted steel or tempered-glass writing surface built to resist scratching and staining under daily erasing. The tripod easel line we tested backs that construction with a lifetime warranty and GRS certification on its recycled materials, an unusual pairing for a mid-range easel manufacturer and one that signals the boards are built for years of regular use rather than a single season.

maxtek Easel Whiteboard 36x24 with Adjustable Tripod Stand
This freestanding easel earned a top pick in our whiteboard testing for its height-adjustable steel tripod stand, which moves from 42 to 63 inches with scale markings so the same board works for seated planning and standing presentations without tools. It carries a lifetime warranty and GRS certification on its recycled materials, and it holds Amazon's Choice and Best Seller badges in the easel whiteboard category.
