Drafting tables have an incredible variety of features available these days. It can make shopping for one a bit cumbersome if you don't already know what your perfect features are. We hope this will give you the tips you need to find the right one.

Do you need one with a computer shelf? This would be important for those whose drafting activities require computer uses, such as CAD programs and other such software. This type of table has a wider surface that's got a split top and shelves for ergonomic access to the keyboard and mouse.

You might also consider a split top table if you want a separate space to store your supplies without having them rolling around on your drafting surface.

If your work requires you to alternate between sitting and standing then an adjustable height table may be to your benefit. Even if the work doesn't require it you may be fidgety enough to like this feature.

How wide? This will depend on the available space and what space requirements you'll have for your projects. Tables come in widths varying from 30 to 84 inches and prices vary accordingly.

What about the material? The most common options are wood or steel. The material can have a significant impact on the overall design. Wood tables are usually more square, bulkier, heavier and sometimes more traditional. The steel options are viewed as more modern and versatile in design and shape.

Whatever your needs are I'm sure you can find a drafting table to fit the bill at one of the many stores in your area or even online. Many online sites have free or very low cost shipping meaning you can shop around for the best price and not have to be gouged with heavy freight charges.

Good luck in your purchase!
