Wood Drafting Tables

Why Wood?

Perhaps you are an architect, or an engineer looking to avoid the monotony of more plastic and steel furniture. Or you could be an artist looking to retain the organic ambiance of your studio. Or maybe you are an avid scrap booker that just wants a wood drafting table because it matches your kitchen cabinets. At furniture-online we hear new reasons every day about why people are choosing to skip industrial-style furniture, and go with the character and soul a solid wood grain.

Drafting tables are great whether you are doing technical drawings, or doodles, scrapbooking, sewing, or just want a large surface to spread out. Most drafting tables have an adjustable top that can be raised to the ideal ergonomic angle for drawing, writing, or crafting. Many tables also have additional tool drawers, ideal for holding drafting equipment like straight-edges and compasses, or other types of tools and supplies. Many drafting tables also come with an optional flat drawer, which is perfect for holding large documents like art projects or blueprints.

Here at furniture-online.com, by far our largest selection of drafting tables would be our wood drafting tables. We carry wood drafting tables by theindustry and quality leader brands like Mayline, SMI, Hann and Alvin. Solid wood tables are made from North American, kiln-dried hardwoods for maximum strength and durability. Or for a more economic alternative, a high quality wood grain veneer is used to bring the same classic ambiance of wood tones to your home or office.

One of the great things about solid wood furniture is you don’t have to give up strength or durability for aesthetic appeal. Few finishes have the same simple, elegant charm, or corporate stateliness as a simple natural wood finish, or a rich wood stain. When you buy a solid wood drafting table from furniture-online.com, you can rest assured that your furniture is well made, and will hold up for a long time.

For a scratch and stain resistant table top surface that is guaranteed to remain warp-free, many of our drafting tables use a white melamine table top. Melamine is an organic, biodegradable compound made with a combination of promelamine resin, and a synthetic polymer, making it both fire resistant, and heat tolerant. Renowned for it’s extremely flat and stable chemical structure, melamine compounds are used for everything from furniture, to floor tiles. Since it is easy to clean, ages well, and is warp-free it is ideal the large surface tops needed for a drafting table.

We also carry tables that are specifically suited for computer aided drafting or CAD. These split surface tables still have a large flat workspace, but also have a stationary flat surface, large enough for a computer monitor, or textbooks. These tables are ideal for our professional as well as student use.
