I have been searching for a well engineered adjustable glass top drawing table for a couple of months... reading many reviews on different manufactured drafting/drawing tables, and the one consistent company that was always on top of many reviews I read was the "Studio Designs" drafting/drawing tables. Like some of the other reviewers here, I was going to purchase the economically priced Studio Designs "Futura Craft Table"... which I was totally fine with... but... when I found out about the "Tower" model, I started to think about the type of artwork I do. I use a lot of historical reference materials in my professional artwork, and was always having trouble keeping this material from cluttering up my work space... but still trying to keep the materials close enough to see all the fine details clearly, which was a constant frustration... but... with the added tower to the Futura table, and the attached cork board and the added magnates... this solved the problem for me by helping to hold all of my reference materials up and away from my work space, but still keeping them close enough to see all the fine details I require... It then became obviously clear to me, I had to purchase the Studio Designs Futura Tower model.The table arrived in a couple of days after I ordered it.(That's amazing in itself!) The box the table came in, was also well engineered to keep the glass table and all it's parts, secured from possible shipping damage. Again, another fine attention to detail from this company. After inspecting all it's parts... the assembly of the table was pretty straight forward... (except for the drawer assembly). The pictures isn't very clear in the instructions on how the "sliders" for the drawer are to be attached correctly. Just remember that the black plastic ends to the sliders... goes toward the front of the table... and you'll be fine. The whole assembly took less than a couple of hours to complete. This table is very stable... doesn't shake or shimmy when working on it. I can also imagine adding small lights to the bottom of the glass table top, turning it into a cool light box...I also ordered A set of leg extensions for this table.(A very simple extra accessory attachment) The table, by itself, is great to work with, straight out of the box... but... I work from 6 to 8 hours a day... and being over 6 feet tall and sitting that long at a desk... I just need to stand sometimes and stretch my back and legs, while still continuing to work. The leg extensions accomplishes this task by raising the table about 6 inches higher... so I can actually stand and continue to work comfortably at the table.Overall, I think that the "Studio Designs Futura Tower" adjustable glass top drafting/drawing table, is a great value for the money. The craftsmanship that went into the design of this table... is top rate. Everything is where it should be and it works. From the powder coated paint to the heavy tempered glass... even to the cork board... it just works. Anyone who's been looking for a great adjustable glass top drafting/drawing table... you really should check out and look into the Studio Designs products, before making any final decisions on what table to buy. I'm very pleased with the decision I made with this table... it's made my life a little easier... a heck of a lot more comfortable... and worth every penny! I just wished I could've done this a whole lot sooner...

This art table far exceeds my already high expectations based on prior reviews and my research. It's much sturdier than I expected, especially the glass shelf. It is really quite beautiful with the blue glass accents. The only visual flaw are the oddly placed circular cup holders, off-center, in an oval shaped space. Considering the quality and design of the rest of the desk, this actually surprises me.The cup holders were also the only part of assembly that caused me quite a bit of confusion, as there is NO REASON that I can deduct for the placement of the first nut. I assembled the desk by myself (so it can be done, it's just a little tricky in the initial stages). I did a full inventory of parts and was highly organized before I began assembly, and it took several hours to construct. I was somehow missing one screw, but for the corkboard mount, probably the only area where a missing screw is easily replaced by a hardware store version. So BE SURE TO COUNT YOUR NUTS & BOLTS (just in case). The directions are straightforward pictures... With some common sense mixed in.I've honestly never assembled a piece of furniture without issues with holes not lining up properly or pieces not being "punched" precisely... Until this desk. I was quite impressed by this.This desk is STURDY, with so many unique and functional features. The workspace is generous, but not overly large. I'm using the desk in my home art studio, and it fits quite nicely in a very small home studio. Without leg extensions, I'm still in need of a higher chair than a standard 18" height "dining room" chair. I ordered an inexpensive Boss task chair that will hopefully over just enough lift to still able my feet to be planted in the ground. I did purchase the leg extensions, so that I can convert the desk later if desired. I draw/paint and I use water soluble pencils quite frequently, so I wasn't planning to use the tabletop lift much. WASN'T. The tabletop lift at varying angles is actually one of my favorite parts about the desk.This desk is in high demand for a reason. It is by no stretch of the imagination an absolutely perfect desk: Storage space, multifunctional work surface, compact, and aesthetically so very pleasing to the eye...I had my eye on this desk for a couple of months before I purchased it. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for an art table. It is everything everyone says it is/raves about in their reviews... and more...

The instructions are entirely in pictures with corresponding parts numbers. It's very important to inventory all parts and screws. It will help you if you have individual zip lock bags for each type of screw and nut. I thought I had, but 4 big screws were missing. The screws that hold the glass top. So, in the middle of installation I made a trip to the hardware store. My challenge was trying figure out how to assemble the drawers, but I finally figured it out. The instruction are vague. The crossbars in the back can be a little confusing so take your time until you absolutely understand and they fit perfectly. It took me about 7 hours, with breaks to totally assemble the table. . I didn't rush. I enjoyed each step of my progress. The glass top and shelf are a beautiful blue color. Really thick glass! I didn't expect it to be that thick and was really happy to see this. It's very sturdy. The packaging was exceptional. When you unpack, the tools, frame parts are on one side, the glass is on the other size. At first I thought, where's the glass? I turned the box over and the glass was on the other side. I suggest that you read all the comments before putting this together. I learned about possible challenging areas and this helped me assemble this. This has been by far my favorite purchase from Amazon!

I don't have enough or the right words, but I am so extremely elated with this purchase. Amazon, at the time, offered a payment plan for this that I was able to complete over 6 months. Phenomenal for me, as I would not have been able to afford the entire cost upfront. Thank you so much, Amazon!!!! I am so happy with my work space, you have enabled me to do so much you have no idea. :) My heart is filled with love about this desk. I got the clear transparent glass with black, and I think it is the best option opposed to another I saw that was bluish glass with silver. This one is spectacular and really creates a professional work space. I am so emotional with joy with this purchase, and Amazon making it possible for me.

This table is the best thing that ever happened to me! I won't lie, it took me about 3 hours to build, but the instructions were pretty clear. The table is very sturdy, as expected since this model is #1 on many "Best Drafting Tables" lists I came across.I just love it. It fits most of my stuff for quick grab, and it has plenty of space under so I put a tiny table for more pencils and I'll add cheap plastic drawers for more storage. I added two clip-lamps on the top shelf, and two hanger-baskets from the dollar store and voilà! I also saw a guy on YouTube who installed a LED bar on that bar perfectly positioned under the table, for a perfect tracing table. The top shelf can't hold too much, but a couple books are no problem. I read a review saying theirs was tilting, mine wasn't, plus my floors aren't straight so I was happy when I saw the table came with screwable, adjustable leg tips to level it.If you're looking to get this model, this exact table from this seller is the cheapest I found on the net at the time I ordered (we searched). It arrived in perfect condition within a week. The delivery guy brought it all by himself up the scary outdoors stairs!And a picture of my setup so you have an actual idea what it looks like. It's big enough, but actually pretty small and not that deep and fits nicely in our very small "studio".

I have never owned a drafting table, nor have I ever sat by one before so I cannot really compare Studio Design to other drafting tables on the market, but I definitely don't have any complaints on its functionality so far. This is an awesome product that have given me lots of fun and hopefully will for years to come. The only problem I have with it is its aesthetics, which of course is a matter of taste. I myself don't really like this type of modern 'sci-fi-type' designs. I'm more into furniture crafted from wood with a more classical, rustic feel to them but that was of course something I knew I would have to live with when I ordered this table. And besides, IF this table had been made from wood it would have costed a small fortune, this did not.

Buenos materiales y ensamblado, la mesa es muy estable y cumple con todas las características mencionadas. En definitiva la recomiendo.
