What is a drafting table?
A drafting table or draft table is a tall desk with an adjustable surface that can be slanted at different angles. Drafting tables have been around for centuries, and they are commonly used by artists, engineers, and architects. They come with many different features to meet a wide variety of needs and are also versatile enough to be used as a conventional desk.
What features should I look for in a drafting table?
Choosing a drafting table largely depends on one’s needs and preferences. Some key features to consider include portability, size, height, and material. Drafting tables can also come with a variety of unique accessories, like additional storage underneath the desk or a pen and pencil holder. The style of the drafting table is another important consideration, and they are generally available in wood for a more traditional look and metal for a more modern feel.
An architect needing a drafting table at home, for instance, will likely want something smaller and a bit more portable. It’s important to determine the tabletop size needed when choosing a drafting table to make sure the workspace is big enough to meet one’s needs. Some drafting tables have adjustable height ranges and allow for angle adjustments for added flexibility and ergonomics.
How much does a drafting table cost?
A drafting table’s cost largely depends on its size, features, and brand. Smaller drafting tables can start at around $200, while larger ones with additional storage can cost upward of $700. Drafting tables can be purchased as a complete table, or the table base and tabletop can be purchased separately. There are various drafting tables on this page, including more affordable models from Safco.
