MEEDEN Verstellbarer Zeichentisch aus Holz, Natur-XSZ-2

I highly recommend. Well made and easily assembled. High quality parts and packaging.

sehr schönes und praktisches Stück

Love my art table but with one exception. It will not stay tightened! It keeps falling when I apply any pressure to the top which gets pretty annoying at best. Needs a better design but I still love it. Just need to sit while using. So I’m deleting 2 stars for that.

Shaker simplicity from China, artist producers of woooden tables for 1000s of years,

This desk was super easy to put together and I am really excited to have a lovely dedicated space for creating. The materials are quality and the piece is solid!

Perfect for my needs! Put it together by myself!

I love it! Just love it! And it was easy to assemble great value for the money! It will be well used for different projects like puzzles macram�� painting drawing and I even could use it as a desk. The only changes I would make would to make it taller. But that's wasn't your fault it was mine. I assumed when it was angled it would be taller that's all. BUT I just love it. As you can see in the picture my stool needs to be lowered. But that's okay. That will be easy (: Thanks it will be a gift that will last a life time

I'm using this table for calligraphy and always have it tilted as shown in the photos. The legs and cross struts are all beech and the top appears to be medium density particle board with beech veneer. It's very well made and finished; it's almost like a piece of furniture rather than just a drafting table. It went together smoothly and everything fit very well. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. There was an error in specifying which screws were to be used for the feet and which to use for the foot braces they were switched. It was immediately evident since the length of the screws is different and would not be usable as specified. Other than that it was an easy assembly. The packaging was great there was no way that it could suffer any damage short of being run over by the delivery truck.

The pine construction is lightweight but sturdy enough to make a stable work surface. So easy to assemble that even a 70 yr. old could put it together in less than 2 hrs! I��ve loved working at it.

Great buy! Good price point can be used as a sit down desk (stand desk chair works) or a stand up. Plenty of room for a computer and paper/ pencil to take notes. The desk is sturdy and the Wood is smooth. Very happy with this purchase and recommend it for distance learning students/ teachers.

Product was easy to assemble. Looks great. I am extremely satisfied with table.

Love love love this. This was the only wooden one on Amazon and is just what i was looking for. My only complaint is that it could be a tad bit longer. Took me less than an hour to setup. Its max height for me is just below my waist and im 6ft tall.

I have it raised to the maximum height so that I can stand at it lean on it with my left arm and draw with my right hand. I'm 5'3" tall and I can't sit for long periods so the solution was finding a table this tall that would still be stable when extended to it's fullest height. . . and this table works. The directions aren't worded well but the diagrams in the booklet help considerably. I laid out all the pieces in alphabetical order and did the steps in order. Just be patient look at the diagram and double check the instructions. Everything is pre-drilled or "started" and the pieces fit well together.

This is a beautiful piece of furniture. As others have noted it is challenging to assemble without another person but I did it - and I am a small older woman. I was actually pleased with the assembly as the instructions were fairly easy to follow and the pieces fit just as they were supposed to. The pieces came all sorted out and labeled making it fairly simple to follow the pictures. I wouldn't have wanted to do it without my cordless drill/driver however as this is real wood and getting the screws in by hand would have been beyond me.

What a great drawing table. With all the choices available on MEEDEN nostalgia won out as this is table is similar to the kind we had in my high school art classes many years ago. After I placed my order I was a bit concerned of the quality of a solid wood table at this price. It turns out that the quality is very good. It's a very solid table when put together. It's not a huge table but its size is more than adequate for most people. The height is adjustable. I'm six foot and it didn't take raising it much to make it comfortable for me to use. It still has another eight inches or so before it would be fully extended. I really like this table.

The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because of the assembly instructions. The instructions are fine as assembly is fairly simple. However my issue is with the hardware list. They give you no info on the sizes of the screws and bolts. I have a cat who is a kleptomaniac. She has a thing for coins screws nails and bolts. When I took everything out of the shipping box all the hardware was there. When I was nearly finished putting the table together I left the room for a couple of minutes. When I returned I soon discovered a bolt with a star knob attached was missing. I'm assuming my cat took a liking to it and made off with it. I'm sure it's somewhere in the house but who knows if I'll ever find i? A trip to a hardware store will solve the problem but the instructions do not include the diameter or length of the bolt. I'll have to remove and measure the other one to get that information. The second picture shows my temporary solution. The screwdriver that is included with the table fits perfectly through the hole and in the teeth of the adjustment arm. Still most assembly instructions include the sizes of the included nut bolts and screws. Other than that minor issue the table is great and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a similar product. Just make sure your room is cat-free when putting it together.

Great build and price perfect inclination. Just wished it had a padding for leg area. Was shorter than expected if it could go taller maybe for version 2 that would be great.

This was a X-mad gift for my husband. He loved it so I love it. It’s very sturdy and seemingly easy to assemble. My only complaint if I had one is there was a picture of the item on the box so we couldn’t surprise him.

I purchased this because I want to draw and paint while standing. A regular easel is more upright than I want for my current work. I had found myself using my kitchen countertop which was not really a good idea given that I often mix my own paints from pigments that are toxic. I was able to adjust the height of this drafting table to be the exact height of my kitchen counter and tilt it to a slight angle so that it is easier on my neck than bending over a flat surface. Problem solved!

So what is the major disappointment? It is very difficult to adjust the height of the table and the angle of the drawing surface. Somehow I had imagined that once assembled I could turn a knob or something to make the adjustments. No such luck. If I want to raise the height of the table I have to be able to lift and hold the table surface at the desired height while tightening the knobs on both sides. This surface is heavy and wide - it cannot be done this way at least with just one person. If a strong person was holding the tabletop up the other person could tighten the knobs. But even then one has to be sure that the surface is held level or your surface will be slanting from left to right - not the kind of angle an artist wants. A similar problem occurs when trying to lower the surface unless you want it at the lowest level (in which case you loosen the knobs and let the side pieces fall to the ground). It is possible to adjust the height with the table upside down - but one doesn't really want to have to turn a 40+ lb table upside down to adjust its height. And even then there is the dilemma of being sure you have raised or lowered it the same amount on the left as on the right.

Fortunately I found a way to get the table at the height I wanted and I don't anticipate needing to change it (or at least wanting so badly to change it that I would go through all of this again). I'll let you in on my secret in the event that you find yourself trying to do this by yourself like I did. I took 6 reams of printer paper that I had on hand and put 3 on each side of the table. I lifted the tabletop pushing them under the side pieces with my foot so that each stack held up one side of the table at exactly the same height. I then tightened the knobs and pulled the stacks of paper out. One could use 1 or 2 reams (or some other sturdy pair of objects of equal height) to achieve different heights.

Adjusting the angle of the table has similar dilemmas but I got lucky and was pleased with the first angle I tried. I'm not going to mess with it.

Given this significant difficult in adjusting this adjustable table by all rights I should give it less than 5 stars. It seems that a company that can design such a beautiful table and make it easy for a non-handy person like me to assemble should have come up with a better system for adjusting height and angle. However I just can't given it less than 5 stars. I simply love the table too much.
