Drafting & Specialty Tables

Drafting tables are often taller than regular tables and have a top that can be angled for increased comfort. They make drawing and writing tasks more efficient and less strenuous to the hands, shoulders, and backs of the users, creating a friendly and healthy working environment. Staples offers a wide range of drafting tables in various styles and sizes.

Drafting tables are made of a variety of material
Some tables feature durable wood constructions that are economical for users and eliminate the need for constant replacements. Also, the wood finish provides a styled appearance suitable for many workplaces. Drawing tables that feature smooth glass surfaces offer  a more modern appearance and feature thick, durable glass. Melamine tables are resistant to scratches, spills, and stains making them ideal for areas with a heavy flow of people and for various activities.

Drawing tables are available in different sizes and heights
The sizes and heights of drafting tables differ. Wide-surfaced tables give enough space to users who require larger spaces for their projects and drawings. Smaller tables are convenient for uses whose projects do not require a wide working area and can save space in the area for other workspaces. Some drafting tables have adjustable heights, allowing users to adjust the height from sitting to standing. Many can be easily adjusted with the push of a button.

Drafting tables are convenient for every user
Some tabletops come with a tilting functionality providing users with a comfortable angle that grants the best view for the work in progress without straining the neck or back. Pencil ledges keep markers, rulers, and other stationery on the table while tilted to provide the user quick access. The vintage designs of some tables not only add impeccable functionality to the office but also boost the appeal of the office or working space. Built-in pencil pockets ensure drawing materials are within easy reach, allowing users to maintain neat angles and perfect lines. Most drafting table designs are convenient for use by different professionals, including architects and artists who need to adjust the angles of their tables constantly to attain the best drawing. The tables remain sturdy even when adjusted, ensuring that the user’s work is safe from instability, saving time, and ensuring a satisfactory outcome. Wide bases provide stability and serve as room to store more papers, and their adjustability makes them a working area.

Are there drafting tables with electric use?
Some electricity-powered tables allow for quick adjustment with the press of a button for increased convenience. Many have cable management and vents in their frame to keep electric cables and wires neat.

Are there movable working tables?
Some drafting tables have casters for easy mobility allowing the user to move the tables from one space to another quickly while locking features ensure they don’t move when in use.

Are there multipurpose tables?
While the tables serve drawing and painting purposes, a variety of tables available serve other needs. Some drafting tables are ideal for use as computer or laptop tables, and some even have special features for electronics.
