Drafting Table

Great quality desk, best value and works well for learning to draft. I'm a little disappointed in the storage but you can't pay low and get everything.

I bought this for my wife to use for her diamond art projects. She loves it. I attached a magnifying light and cut an angled piece of 4"x4" post so she can keep her bead trays parallel to the floor while the table is tilted (line the bottom with hook-and-loop to attach it to the desk, and the top with a rubber pad so the tray(s) won't slide around). This desk was easy enough to assemble, and it is made well and should last a while. I installed caster wheels (instead of the included base plates) so she can easily roll the desk around as needed (we keep it in the living room, and she'll roll it to our couch to work on diamond art while watching TV). The stool... well... you'll likely want to use a different chair since that is not comfortable, so I use it in my workshop for convenience. We like that the table raises and lowers, though you'll likely want to set it where you want it and then leave it there since it's not really all that easy to adjust (don't plan on changing the height often). The drawers are nice, and the side compartments are handy, as well. Though the box arrived damaged (no surprise there), the contents were well packed, so no damage was done to any of the pieces. No complaints here; recommended purchase.

I received this desk and was very excited until I saw the directions. Assembly of the frame for the desk top was a bit confusing. Words in the directions rather than all hard to figure out pictures would have been nice. Either way it took me by myself (55 yr old female and handy) about 2 hours to do put this together alone. I ended up doing it my own way which was good because they way they directed would have been too heavy for me to pick up and put on the legs myself.Overall the desk is sturdy and is doing the trick. I found that lowering the angle is not as easy as I had hoped, you have to reach into the back side of the desk and lift the locking mechanism, I'm nervous to pinch myself... LOL The stool is very firm, but I have a bad back and like it. The tray system it has is virtually useless, nothing fits into it... the brush holders are less than an inch deep and I'm not sure what any of the other spaces would be useful for other than holding my chalk.I have gotten hours of use from this desk already, and especially love the extendable table to the left of the working station. Its a good size, holds my canvas and has room for me to tape my images to the side. If you rest your arms while painting or drawing you might want to use some glue on the screws that hold the canvas/paper (small lip) I have found that I push on it and the screws have popped out... little glue and problem solved. The bottom shelve holds my art books, paper towels, and brush box quite nice. The drawers are nice sized and hold my tracing paper, carbon paper and 8x10 canvases with ample room.I would recommend this to anyone looking for a working table for their art... I am sure I will be using it for years.

This table/desk was very easy to assemble. I like that the height of the table is easily adjustable (by one person) by loosening the two knobs on the sides, then raising or lowering the entire top (including drawers). The good part is that when the knobs are loose, you do not have to support the weight of the table top; the top will stay put as you raise/lower it... so you can get it exactly where you want, then lock it in by tightening the screws.I find reviews are most valuable by pointing out the negatives, so here goes....1. The feet are cheap. While the feet are nice and big, and are easily adjustable, the plastic is rigid with sharp(ish) edges to all the molded surfaces at the bottom. I think they would scratch a lot of different types of flooring (vinyl, laminate, hardwood, etc). That said, I think putting some thick felt or something under the feet would eliminate that issue.2. After putting the table together, I had two small screws leftover. They were not mentioned anywhere in the instructions. I knew it was no accident on my part, and, quickly discovered where they belong. They belong on the front and rear edges of the sliding side table. That side table slides between two metal holders. Each holder has an obvious slot. The screws go through each slot and into the table side to prevent it from being pulled all the way out (when extended) or crashing into the table top angle mechanism (when pushed all the way in). However, the table top does not have the holes to install the screws. I quickly drilled the two holes (as this type of MDF board may just crumble if not pre-drilled), then installed the screws. Mystery solved! And, the side table is now safe for me or my kids to use without worrying about it.3. There is one VERY VERY small defect on my table top. Some kind of debris is between the MDF board and the laminate veneer, causing a tiny, little "pimple". It is on the lower-left of the table top. While it's barely visible, it's enough to redirect a pen/pencil stroke, if under a sheet of paper. Hopefully it's far enough to the left that it will never cause an issue. However, as that is the ONLY defect of that kind on any of the table top, bottom, or side surfaces of the main table or pull-out table, I would think this type of defect is rare and I just happened to get it.Overall, I would give this product a 4.5 star rating... so, I just rounded up.

I do all my work on it grate

I ordered this for my daughter, who loves to craft. It's a great setup. Amazon delivered it in a couple of days and the price was very reasonable. She loves it!

I bought this desk for my son who is in the 6th grade. He attends a fine arts school. This desk is perfect for all the different things he needs to do. It was easy to assemble (my son and his dad put it together) with 2 people. It's very sturdy and has lots of great storage.
