This a fantastic starter table for crafts and drawings however its NOT a true drafting table as it doesn't have the necessary parallel rules. It serves greatly as a light table if needed with the addition of a lamp underneath the glass top. Its great for a student or hobbyist but not a professional. A proper drafting table runs in the $$ thousands, however one can put a Staedler drafting board on top and make do. I purchased this for my son so he can use it for his art projects and this table has been of great service and success for this reason. It's not difficult to put together and its pleasant looking enough that it does look good in the home office setting. I would buy again as it was a quick delivery. Do keep in mind its NOT for professional use.

Really simple to put together and stronger than it looks once assembled. Absolutely ideal for the job and my wife is over the moon with it; I'd bought it for her 'Woman Cave'.

As others have said, this is a good buy for the price (I paid $150 for it). The quality is far nicer than similar products that I have paid the same price for.Unboxing:Well packed. Got it fulfilled by amazon, mine was shipped box within a plain cardboard box. The delivery box was heavy and awkward, so if you are of small stature get help carrying it. For me it would have been easer had I taken the inner box out before trucking it up two flights of stairs, but a helper would have been nice. There was only a little bit of that crappy white styrofoam that breaks and gets all over (it was over the glass) so that actually made me pretty happy.Assembly:Not too bad. For the first step it might help to have another person or kid around, a good quality screw driver, and maybe your own small crescent wrench, but you can probably fly solo on this. Just gotta pay careful attention to the holes when you put it together as you can reverse a few things if you don't pay attention.. The instructions seem daunting at first since they show what first appears to be a million screws in each step, but it is actually pretty simple. See the drawers note below regarding assembling those. Took me about 30 minutes without rushing.Size:Its height is about the same as a standard office table. My non-height adjustable office chair is the perfect size. The desktop is great for doing sketching but still small enough to not take up too much space and is easy to move around. For some reason it looks bigger in the picture to me. Probably because the drawers are actually pretty small.Adjustment:You have to pull this alligator jaw looking thing on the back to adjust the angle. It looks like it has the potential to cause limb mangling if you are not careful, so I have told my kids to stay away from it, but haven't messed with it too much to be sure. I can't imagine me needing to change the height all that much. Plus I used the wheels so its not hard to get behind it anyways. You have the option of leveling casters or wheels.Drawers:The drawers are so so and a touch small, but they are definitely useful. I cracked some of the plastic snapping them together since they were slightly warped, so be careful with that. They still work fine. For the price I am not going to complain.Sidetrays:It comes with 4 trays, two if them look like paint trays of some sort, but would work great to hold a pile of pencils or other stuff. The other two have 6 pencils holes each and what looks like two dixie cup sized beer holders and a smaller square holder in each. I was able to comfortable fit 4 decent size erasers into the small square thing and a round pencil sharpener into a round holder.Secondly, the trays snap together end to end. You need to snap them together to get them to seat in the brackets properly. It took me a bit to figure this out and they seemed really loose at first.Bottom tray:The bottom tray is a good size metal pencil tray. All the drafting tables I have used in the past have had a little teeny tray or just a metal edge at the bottom. This thing is very roomy and I like it.Tabletop surface:Its nice glass. But a touch slippery. A cork bottom t-square might be a good idea. Its not frosted, I already had to clean my kid's fingerprints off of it. However, it looks like it will make a great ghetto light box if I place a light under it. The rest of my office desktops are similar glass, its not too big a deal to clean it.Pros:-Great for the price overall.- I am just an amateur hack at drawing and I think this will be perfect for the kids and I and probably my wife for scrapbooking.- A lot of other pros are listed above mixed in with my other review points.- Looks pretty cool.- Lots of storage.Cons:- The trays are raised above the glass surface. This is not an issue unless you want to use a T-Square. When I tried my T-Square I had to use the trays as the guide on the left. Thats not going to be accurate enough for actual drafting since they flex and I wouldn't trust it to align say a photo that you are about to permanently glue into a scrap book. Good enough though if you are just dicking around. I might try dropping the 4 tray brackets on one side with washers and longer screws, or just remove all the brackets and trays on one side. I'll post photos if that works.- A second issue with the trays being raised. If you put a T-Square on it horizontally, it will not be fully touching the surface since the trays raise it, this causes it to slide (even at 30 degrees the T-Square wants to fall off the table) and you have to push and bend it down to actually be able to draw a straight line.- The pencil tray at the bottom is also raised above the glass surface. If you have a T-Square over say 25.5", and are using it vertically, you will hit this tray. I purchased a 30" T-Square for this table and when I use it vertically I again have to press it down and bend it in order to get a straight line, or use it horizontally with a triangle (assuming you fix the tray issue above). I will also try to fix this with washers and longer screws, or might just get a 24" T-Square to use vertically. I suppose I could bend the tray down a bit, but if I didn't do it straight it might look bad.- The pencil holders in the trays are pretty small. They are good for pencils for sure, but will not hold my Sakura micron pens nor Faber Castell Pitt brush pens.- Some pins sticking out of the sides to hold a roll of tape or a T-Square would be nice. I guess thats not really a con, would just be nice. Perhaps I will add those myself.Overall impressions. I am glad I got this. It might be a bit of a pain for me to get it to work good with a T-Square, but for what I got for $150 I am quite happy having to mess around with it a bit.
