Safco 72" Precision Drafting Table
4 Reasons To Invest in the Safco 72" Precision Drafting Table
Drawing tables are an essential piece of equipment for anybody in the design or construction industries. In addition to its stated purpose of drawing, this type of table allows you to easily read oversized papers and see detailed illustrations up-close. Best of all, their angular set-up allows for unbeatable ergonomic comfort. You can enjoy better posture and reduced muscle strain while you use this type of desk. If you’re looking for the best
drawing board, consider the following four reasons why the Safco 72" Precision Drafting Table is one of the best options.
1. Generous Surface Size
At 72” wide and 37.5” deep, the
Safco drafting table is one of the most impressively sized tables on the market. This generous surface space makes it ideal for artists, architects, and other professionals who need to look at large-format documents. Furthermore, its top is made from solid wood and coated with a premium-quality nonglare melamine laminate that’s 1” thick, making it sturdy enough to use with a wide variety of materials.
2. Easily Adjustable Top
If you want to use your
drafting table to draw while sitting down, tilting the surface upward is the easiest way to do so. This task is simple when you use the knobs on the side of the table to loosen the top, adjust it, and secure it in place. Unlike many other drawing tables, you don’t need any specialized tools to do this, and the top will stay in place once the jobs are tightened again. The top can be adjusted up to a 50° angle to suit your preferred configuration.
3. Strong, Durable Base
The base of the Safco 72" Precision Drafting Table is just as strong as the top. It’s made from heavy-gauge steel and features A-grade finish. The result is a strong and steady base that’s resistant to shaking or wobbling while you work. This is particularly important if you intend to primarily use the desk for drawing, which demands a completely stable surface. The steel construction also ensures that the desk is durable enough to withstand wear and tear and last for years to come.
4. Ample Built-In Storage
Finally, you should consider the convenience of the ample storage that this table provides. Underneath the table’s top, you will find a large reference drawer that is spacious enough to accommodate most large-format papers. Adjacent to it, there is a tool drawer that comes with a secure lock so that your most valuable supplies are always safe. This additional storage sets the Safco 72" Precision Drafting Table apart from other models and makes it a great choice for anybody who needs an all-in-one drawing station.
