I recently purchased this desk to go with my Futura Craft Station (I prefer to call it my art desk versus a "craft station"...). The two pieces go really well together, and it makes my studio look very modern . The "craft station" is my traditional art desk, while the Work Center serves as my computer and digital art section. Currently the Work Center holds my 27" iMac and my Cintiq 24HD. It creates a magnificent work station that I am so happy to sit at! At first I was worried that the weight of the Cintiq (which is 50+ pounds) would shatter the glass top.... but after sitting there for a week, both un-touched at times and with working on it, the glass definitely holds the weight.

Shipping was fantastic, it arrived on Saturday as expected and very early in the morning, which left me plenty of time to put it together and work at my new desk that very day! I was worried about the glass during shipping--my Futura Craft Station arrived with completely shattered glass and had to send it back--but lo and behold, the glass was in perfect shape, despite the box being a little crunched up.

Assembly was a snap, and you can choose which side you want the tilting top on. The directions instruct you to place it on the left half of the desk, but for my personal set up, I preferred it on the right--a quick change of which legs you use where switches the tops. The desk is large--part of the reason I chose it--and I have WAY more than enough room for my giant Cintiq, iMac, mouse/keyboard, and even room for my laptop AND scanner!!

I highly recommend this desk for any artist or working person who needs the space for multiple devices. It looks classy and fits in well with the look of modern technology.

The table is a good quality artist's table, suitable for crafters and college studio artists. The work surface was somewhat smaller than expected, although that's my fault for not laying out the dimensions.

The table was quite difficult to assemble. The instructions are not well written, and it takes some effort to hold things together and screw in the joints with an allen wrench. It's essential to have a second person to help you assemble the unit.

I'm also not completely satisfied with the assembled table:

The glass is held onto the base by suction cups, which have so far proven stable, but do concern me. A real problem with my unit is that glass of the curved portion (between the two main work surfaces) does not sit down on the suction cups fully. So, while it is resting in the frame and stuck onto the suction cups on the one side, it rocks and pops loose of the suction ups if you put any weight on the curved outer portion. I actually had to bend the curved support up to improve the situation, but was unable to completely solve the problem.

EDIT: The company sent me a replacement bar, when requested, to fix the problem mentioned above.

I'll also warn you about the glass: It has a sticker on it that indicates you cannot put more than 45lbs of weight on the tabletop. I guess that's the nature of glass, but I wasn't happy to see that. And the sticker will not come off cleanly, so I'm going to either have to leave it or get some goof off.

The table is otherwise sturdy and well made. Without the cross-beam supports on the legs, they would rock, so be sure to join them on. One other reviewer said he left them off, which is not a good idea.

The table also comes with self-leveling feet, which would be handy on a hard surface. I put the table on carpet, so I don't need to use them.

However, I'm going to purchase another unit, because I like the table and work surface despite its few problems.

I read previous reviews and I agree with all of them that really like the combined tables. I use the tilt table for painting and I upgraded from a table that did not tilt and this is a great improvement. I would say it is modestly easy to set up, the picture instructions (no words) are some of the best I have seen.

There is discussion in the comments about how to set it up with the tilt table on the right half or the left half, and this is not clear in the instructions, and in fact I did not notice which way I was setting this up. The issue is that two of the four legs have a bracket on their side, for mounting to the wedge shaped area between the tables (and the manual drawings don't show the brackets). Legs 2 and 4 have this bracket, and so must be adjacent to each other for the wedge shaped area. One table has to have leg 2 and one table has to have leg 4. If you want the tilt top on the left, you need to use legs 1 and 2, during the assembly of the tilt table, which is first in the manual. The manual does not say anything about this. If you want the tilt table on the left you need to build the tilt table with legs 3 and 4 as I did not knowing better (I just randomly picked two legs). I hope this helps future purchasers.

Also, I think you need two people to assemble, one person to hold one of the legs up while you assemble them together. And two people to move the box into your house/apartment.

Others have posted issues with the glass being broken, but mine arrived in good shape. And for some reason there was very quick delivery, faster than normal Amazon prime?

I love my new table.

Bought this desk in 2014, and with 3 years gone by (going on 4) , this desk is going pretty strong.

As a student, I bought this desk originally to have a space in my room to draw and have a computer space without buying two seperate desks. Its especially helpful for arts and crafts, and if you have it in the corner of the room, the corner is a great place to have a tv or large computer moniter. So great for studying, having a computer, and still enough room for all of those art projects.

A few things:

-I've rearranged the side on which the tilted desk is a few times with some ease, and if you find any part of the desk gets loose, just pull out any ol Allen wrench and youre as good as gold.
-When Im sitting at the desk, I have a bad habit of propping my feet up especially against the back of the desk where the two thin poles meet, but it hasnt broken on me, which is great! (Otherwise the whole desk would probably fall apart...)
-I found the middle corner piece has a few metal bits that are supposed to hold up the glass, but even when they get loose and slouch down, the center piece is still very supported. (I guess thats a flaw, but it hasnt broken yet so)
-If youre looking for something that has space, is multi-purpose, and easy to assemble, disassemble, and reassemble, then this is the desk for you.
-BUT if you are looking to save space, (and I mean REALLY save space) look elsewhere first. Try looking into the corner desk pieces with the extra shelving above the desk, so you'll still have room to store things and have a place to write/use the computer. But if youre wallet says no, then this desk is a good alternative.

Anyways if youre looking for lots of space for a relatively cheap price, I definitely recomend this desk.

I have been searching for a well engineered adjustable glass top drawing table for a couple of months... reading many reviews on different manufactured drafting/drawing tables, and the one consistent company that was always on top of many reviews I read was the "Studio Designs" drafting/drawing tables. Like some of the other reviewers here, I was going to purchase the economically priced Studio Designs "Futura Craft Table"... which I was totally fine with... but... when I found out about the "Tower" model, I started to think about the type of artwork I do.

I use a lot of historical reference materials in my professional artwork, and was always having trouble keeping this material from cluttering up my work space... but still trying to keep the materials close enough to see all the fine details clearly, which was a constant frustration... but... with the added tower to the Futura table, and the attached cork board and the added magnates... this solved the problem for me by helping to hold all of my reference materials up and away from my work space, but still keeping them close enough to see all the fine details I require... It then became obviously clear to me, I had to purchase the Studio Designs Futura Tower model.

The table arrived in a couple of days after I ordered it.(That's amazing in itself!) The box the table came in, was also well engineered to keep the glass table and all it's parts, secured from possible shipping damage. Again, another fine attention to detail from this company. After inspecting all it's parts... the assembly of the table was pretty straight forward... (except for the drawer assembly). The pictures isn't very clear in the instructions on how the "sliders" for the drawer are to be attached correctly. Just remember that the black plastic ends to the sliders... goes toward the front of the table... and you'll be fine. The whole assembly took less than a couple of hours to complete. This table is very stable... doesn't shake or shimmy when working on it. I can also imagine adding small lights to the bottom of the glass table top, turning it into a cool light box...

I also ordered A set of leg extensions for this table.(A very simple extra accessory attachment) The table, by itself, is great to work with, straight out of the box... but... I work from 6 to 8 hours a day... and being over 6 feet tall and sitting that long at a desk... I just need to stand sometimes and stretch my back and legs, while still continuing to work. The leg extensions accomplishes this task by raising the table about 6 inches higher... so I can actually stand and continue to work comfortably at the table.

Overall, I think that the "Studio Designs Futura Tower" adjustable glass top drafting/drawing table, is a great value for the money. The craftsmanship that went into the design of this table... is top rate. Everything is where it should be and it works. From the powder coated paint to the heavy tempered glass... even to the cork board... it just works.
Anyone who's been looking for a great adjustable glass top drafting/drawing table... you really should check out and look into the Studio Designs products, before making any final decisions on what table to buy. I'm very pleased with the decision I made with this table... it's made my life a little easier... a heck of a lot more comfortable... and worth every penny! I just wished I could've done this a whole lot sooner...
