Can this table be used flat? Also for an artist not just drafting?

yes it can be used flat. when I owned one I had it flat about 50% of the time and it's easy to raise and lower from flat to angled. I loved this table. the only reason I gave it away is because I moved across the country and had to get rid of all my furniture.

Yes it can, and it's quite awesome for artists (I'm an illustrator myself), I also use it as a light table. Sound buy, I love it.

The table can be used flat. I've been using it as a crafting table. It's very sturdy. Haven't had the need to tilt it yet.

It may be used in the flat position. Why couldn't you use it as an artist's table?

I bought it for my husband who is an artist and he mounted a light table underneath so he uses it on a slant but it can also be used flat.

Yes it can be used flat, and I use it for my Graphic Novel drawings, from page layout to final inking

It might but I wouldn't try it. I'm sure it was not designed for that. It's a craft table.

I think the lip around the top would be it awkward to be used as an end table. If you do use it that, make sure you use a coaster.

The top is fairly flat, but slightly curved. I use ours in our not so formal living room, as a pop of color table next to a leather reading chair. I have placed a cup of tea, glass of wine, plastic tumbler of ice water without any trouble.

I think you can, if you don't put too much on it. The table can only holdso much on it. That will be yours to put on it what you want.

Sorry for delayed response. It does not fold flat. You can remove the table top easily but there is still the "L" shape of the legs and I don't see a way to get around that. Hope this helps.

Hi hba864, As long as you were comfortable sitting while you paint. It is designed to be a light duty drafting table. I used this table to hold a heavy old style computer and it had no issues. Painting should be fine!

yes. it is not the flattest smoothest surface but you can place a glass on the table. some people get a piece of plexiglass cut to fit the table top but I did not. otherwise the table worx as advertised.

Yes. It is flat across the top of the table when machine is all the way up. I use it this way when my embroidery unit is attached.

You probably could use only the 2 rectangular pieces, and eliminate the corner piece. It seems it might be less stable that way, but it looks like it could be done - you'd just have two separate tables to configure how you want them. All together, though, it doesn't take up a whole lot of room. It's a great desk for the price.

Yes...this is a great table! My wife use it for her sewing projects and there are no problems with it at all!

Thank you. I am going to make a table to work it on that can tilt a little so I dont have to have it flat all the time, thanks for the info.

It isn't perfectly flat and smooth. There is a raised rim around the bottom. I doubt that it would scratch the surface of your table, though.

No, just push on the joints and the table folds. It does not fold into a very compact form, I must say. It does not become completely flat.

I would not, I would only use it in a manner that it was designed to be used with legs extended. I really like the table but it is not quite as sturdy as a professional table. I would say that it would put too much stress on areas that were not meant to particularly the hinges.

Yes, but there is a nodule on the bottom that does not allow you to set it on a flat surface like a table.

Hi. Nice table, but not enough support for direct paper and table top hard writing due to thin padding. The paper won't tear, but you'll leave marking on the plastic cover on top of table.
