1. Drafting tables aren't limited to professional use. While architects and engineers use drafting tables for professional reasons, the wide, solid surface of a drafting table makes it ideal for cartography or for any drawing, sketching, or art projects.
2. Worried about a bad back from hours spent hunched over a desk? Drafting tables can actually help you maintain correct posture during your projects and avoid stiff and painful muscles in your neck and back, especially after long hours at work.
3. Adjustable drafting tables let you modify your project, posture, and position, making them an excellent choice for artists, designers, or anyone needing an adjustable work surface. Height-adjustable tables typically range from 29 - 46 inches tall, making them the perfect surface for nearly any job. Adjustable drafting tables also let you work from different angles - most tilt up to 45 degrees.
4. Nothing disrupts your train of thought faster than having to stop and search for a tool. Make your drafting table an all-inclusive workstation by choosing a table with features designed to make your work easier. Some styles offer built-in rulers along edges and trays to keep your writing materials in place. Other drafting tables offer interior lighting - perfect for tracing.
5. Drafting table tops are designed with a variety of materials, including glass, wood, laminate, and steel. Choose a surface that's compatible with the types of projects you'll be doing - wooden drafting tables are great for projects that require drawing or sketching while glass drafting tables are great for tracing.
6. Personal preference dictates what type of base material you choose for your drafting table. We have wood drafting tables for a sturdy, traditional look. If modern is more your style, we also offer a wide selection of steel drafting tables for a sleek and streamlined appearance.
7. Decide if you plan to sit or stand while working. If you plan to use a taller drafting stool, consider buying a sturdy, fixed-height drafting table at 37 inches tall. If you'd prefer to sit in a standard office chair, a 30-inch drafting table is a good fit.
8. Drafting tables are available in wide range of styles and models. Solid top drafting tables unify your workspace and projects, letting you adjust the whole surface at once. Split-top drafting tables on the other hand are an excellent choice if you're looking for a multi-function workspace with both stable and adjustable surfaces.
