Know before you buy
Yes, the table is versatile enough for both. You can keep the surface flat at 0° for general desk tasks or tilt it up to 25° for drafting and illustration.
The 0.75-inch birch veneer is designed to be warp-free and sturdy, making it well-suited for professional drafting and drawing. However, if you plan on heavy cutting or using sharp blades, we recommend using a self-healing cutting mat to protect the wood finish.
The drawer measures 27 inches wide by 17 inches deep with a height of 1.5 inches. It is ideal for storing flat supplies like rulers, pencils, sketchbooks, and drafting tools.
Yes, the table arrives unassembled and requires some setup. The process is straightforward, but it is recommended to have a second person assist with positioning the heavy birch top onto the base.
The table features tapered legs equipped with built-in levelers. These allow you to adjust each leg individually to ensure the work surface remains perfectly flat and stable on various floor surfaces.
The two movable supply dividers fit inside the drawer, allowing you to customize the interior layout. This helps keep smaller items like erasers, leads, and pens from shifting around while you work.
