I'm very satisfied with my choice!"

“I’m really happy with this drafting table. I mainly use it for diamond painting and paint by number. The glass top is easy to clean, and my diamond painting light pad stays in place, even when tilted steep. I removed the drawers since they were in the way, and I love the side holders for my supplies. The tilt function is simple to use, but it requires tilting all the way up to adjust, which can be a bit inconvenient.”

“This drafting desk has been a joy to use. At 93 years old, I found it a challenge to assemble, but I managed to do it with a friend's help.

Despite these minor issues, I'm really glad I made this purchase.”

“I wish I had checked this drafting table sooner. The assembly instructions were easy to understand, but unfortunately, there were missing holes in the frame, making it impossible to attach the tabletop securely. I even considered drilling my own holes, but the misalignment was too significant, leading me to conclude this was a total waste of time and money.”

"I spent over a month researching drafting tables, and I found this one to be of unmatched quality at an incredible price. I didn't realize it wasn't stationary, so I had to use a side table for my desk items. Assembling it was manageable for me, even with a disability, but I needed help with the glass and moving parts. The adjustable angles are a standout feature, and I love that it has high-quality materials."

"This table is a great starter option for crafts and drawing, but I should note it's not a true drafting table since it lacks parallel rules. It's perfect for students or hobbyists, and I bought it for my son’s art projects. Assembly was straightforward, and it looks nice in our home office. However, keep in mind that it's not intended for professional use."

"The assembly process was really simple, and the table is stronger than it appears once put together. I bought it for my wife's 'Woman Cave', and she's absolutely thrilled with it!"

The drawers and compartments are very useful, and despite a damaged box, everything inside was intact. No complaints here; definitely recommended!"

"I received this desk and was thrilled until I saw the directions. Assembly was a bit confusing and took me about 2 hours solo. I figured out a better way to assemble it that worked for me. The desk is sturdy, but lowering the angle isn't as easy as expected. The tray system isn’t very useful either. However, it holds my art supplies well, and the extendable table is a great feature. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a functional art table!"

"I love this table! It’s perfect for my daughter’s painting. She absolutely enjoys using it. Assembly was straightforward, and it’s very sturdy with great storage capabilities. This desk is just what we needed!"

"I needed a basic desk for drawing, and this one stood out among similar options. The assembly was quite easy; I managed to do it alone in just over an hour. Everything was in good condition, and the instructions were mostly clear. The desk is sturdy and allows easy height adjustment. The drawers are a bit flimsy but fine for lightweight items. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase, except for the stool, which isn’t very comfortable for me."

"I bought this desk for my painting and pastels because I dislike easels. Putting it together alone was a bit challenging but manageable. The directions were straightforward, and all parts were clearly labeled. I’m very satisfied; it feels sturdy with ample workspace."

"As an 82-year-old, assembling this desk took me longer than expected, about six hours. However, I had no issues with the packaging or the assembly process. The fabric drawers are perfect for my lightweight tools, and the tilt top fits my canvas perfectly. I highly recommend this desk!"

"I've used drafting tables before, and I find this one to be simple and stable. With three height adjustments, it's a great basic drafting table. Assembly was fairly easy, but I did have one screw missing, which I easily replaced. Overall, for the money, I would definitely recommend it to friends."

"Putting this table together was a breeze, but I definitely needed a second person to help lift the top while bolting it down. The diagram was useful, but some parts were easy to mix up. I use it as an art table and patio table, making it quite versatile. It's also very sturdy and attractive!"

"After reading reviews, I bought this table for puzzle making. The directions were straightforward, although I had a minor issue aligning one bolt. Once assembled, it felt very sturdy, and I’m planning to felt the top to keep puzzle pieces from sliding. Overall, I feel I got a great table at a great price!"
