Does anyone know where I can buy benches, stools, drying racks, easels or drawing tables for a small art studio in a regional community college? New or even better second-hand? Thanks, Virginia.

Art shed has inexpensive easels, they are the Monte Marte brand, I have one and it is great.
The price of a comparable one from an art store cost over 3 times as much ans was made from the same materials.
Try a second hand office supply shop, or contact a local handyman/builder who could perhaps make some benches and racks for you.
Good Luck!! Very Happy

Try googling school art supplies and looking at companies that deal with organisations such as schools wholesale or retail as you will get access to more 'studio' equipment than just materials.

Oxlades in Brisbane is one, Speedy School Supplies is another...
