Table is great. The template for attaching the legs was way off. I would recommend you measure first before making holes.

I use this product as a foldaway table when I need to review plans. It's nice that it folds away quickly when not neededI didn't like the fact that I had to drill the holes from a piece of folded cardboard ( the cardboard comes with a fold in it, and if I had drilled the holes from just the cardboard instead of actually putting the legs upside down on the tabletop, the drilled holes would have been off by about 1/2 ". Also why not include a pencil stop on a sloping table? I assumed it would be included, but I had to pay $14 extra for the pencil stop.

Although I'm new to drafting, my husband has years of experience and we both find this table suitable for my needs. I'm studying Landscape Architecture, but don't have enough room in my house for a permanent drafting table. I like that I can use it in the living room if I want to watch TV with my husband while working, or I can set up in the office when I need quiet. I was surprised at how stable it is on the Berber carpet, and it folds up easily. Since I don't have anything to compare it to, I am very satisfied; those who are accustomed to more professional tables may not be as much. The only drawback I can find is the lack of storage, which would be nice to have.
