Questions & Answers
Yes, there is no need to attach wheels. They include pieces that can be used in place of the wheels to keep the table in place and avoid damaging the floors or sitting on the carpet. I didn't use the wheels at all. You can also replace them by screwing them into the frame's bottom.
The legs are fixed, but the glass top can be adjusted.
The only thing that changes is the angle of the top, which isn't adjustable.
If you put a bright light underneath it, it might work.

This table, in my opinion, is fantastic. It's cheap and it works. And I tweaked it to fit my habits and preferences. br>This page has been updated by: Rather than mounting the drawers under the glass, which would severely limit the amount of space available, I mounted them to the right of the frame. THEN I DOUBLE-CHECKED. A 9 X 11 piece of whiteboard / masonite was sided taped to the top. When the top is at an angle, it creates a small shelf for coffee cups and serves as a top for the drawers. I was also able to move my chair beneath the table because of the extra space. I also took out the plastic trays on the right side. I'm not sure I'll ever use all of those trays. For markers, I placed the two long trays on the left side. For not a lot of money, it works well and looks great. Love it. The table is well-built and simple to put together. br>br>The whiteboard I used as a top was the following: 9" x 12" dry erase slates Other materials could be used to achieve the same effect, but I happened to have one on hand and it worked perfectly!.
For a variety of reasons, I adore it: 1) The elegant smoky glass top: I also added an adjustable arm desk lamp that clamps onto the far side of the glass table to provide additional lighting, but can also be turned around to illuminate the bottom of the glass for tracing. br>2) The side trays can be taken out. I can hang hand towels for clean-up on one rail by removing one when using the table to paint. I keep pencils, erasers, and other tools in all of the trays when I'm drawing. br>3) The table top can be adjusted at any angle. br>4) Because it is on wheels, I can move it around the house to get the best lighting, use my computer, or do crafts while watching TV. When I'm not working on a project, I'll store it against a bedroom wall. br>5) I like how the glass top has a lot of space, both in width and depth, so I can do whatever I want with it. 6) During my first project, I spilled acrylic paint on the glass, which dried as I worked. Unlike a wooden surface, I was able to easily remove it with a razor blade without damaging my art desk. br>7) The desk height is ideal for my adjustable office chair, and there is ample leg room. br>8) I keep my paint sets in the drawers. br>9) The bottom tabletop frame piece is the perfect width for keeping my canvas, ruler, or pencils from rolling to the floor when the table is slanted. It's also easy to clean because it's made of metal. br>10) Finally, it is appealing; it has a very nice, stylish appearance that works well in any room I use it in. This purchase has made me very happy. br> I used to have an art table that didn't even come close to having these features. It's a big step forward.
Pros: br>Very sturdy, solid frame, adjusts to a very high height, can be wheeled around, sleek design, fairly simple set upbr>br>Cons: br>Manual diagrams lacked precision, i. e. Some holes were not clearly identified, and I wish the shelves had been placed outside of the desk rather than inside, as this would allow for more leg room.
Oh, for the love of God. I tried everything I could think of to get the top on. We could only manage two screws at the most. What a let-down. I should have paid attention to the reviews because there were several that mentioned this issue. It would be too much trouble to send it back, so I'm not doing it. Buyers beware, is all I'm saying.
This desk is one of my favorites. Because of the adjustable top, it's ideal for diamond painting. I'm working on a massive diamond painting and needed a desk fit for an artist or architect. It was simple to put together and follow the instructions. I assembled the drawers to the right of the desk and added a white board turned upside down for the top, as suggested in a previous review. Now I have a side table to display my diamonds on. Because I am right-handed, this is ideal for me. This also allows me to have more leg room and underneath space. I didn't add the cubbies on the right side because they would cover my "table," but I did add them on the left side, which was a great idea. The drawers are a little smaller than I expected, but they hold everything I need with plenty of room to spare. This desk has exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it to artists, or in my case, diamond painters.
It LOOKS EXACTLY like the photo once it's put together. Then there's the issue of assembly. Pictograms are used in the instructions. The way the holes line up is what's missing at this stage. A left and right, as well as an in and out, are all present on the base. I believe I made three mistakes. The hinge must be attached to the cross bar/brace through two holes on the top. At the very least, I got it right the first time around. The hinge now appears. Mine was reversed and slightly bent somewhere in the shipping/packaging process. Perhaps even in the manufacturing process. Yours is backwards if it does not pivot away from the glass/top. When flat, the pivot/elbow should have the appearance of your elbow pointing DOWN. If it doesn't fit, put it together the way it does and use leverage to turn it around. or at the very least, that's what I was forced to do. Then there's the CAGE drawer. Make a mental note of which way the rails are facing and which is the front and back. 4 screws should be placed on the LEFT side of the cage, with the rail backstops facing the back. 2 screws should be placed in the BOTTOM of the cage on the right side. Two of the longer screws are used to secure the cage to the tops of the legs. br>After everything was put together, mine was not square. Only a few welds are visible on the frame, which has been tack welded. Only the edges are covered. On all of the connections, I can see daylight. br>It took me one hour and forty minutes to complete the assembly process. I believe that hinge points made with screws (part D) will cause problems in the future. Fabric drawers with a stiff bottom insert are available. I'm sure they'll be fine for light/loose parts, but I'm not going to put a roll of quarters in them.
It was simple to put together, and my 17-year-old daughter did an excellent job. I've owned a few art/drafting desks, and this is by far the most versatile and cost-effective.
The glass top was completely shattered when it arrived. I'm hoping to get a replacement because there's no label or warning on the outside that the box contains breakable materials; I'd like to change my one star to a five.
