Here is a review by “Lucy”
While I haven't had it long enough to say how it holds up to time, I can say that I'm very happy with the purchase so far. I placed the order Saturday, and received it the following Wednesday without special shipping, which I couldn't be happier about.
Once I unwrapped all the pieces it wasn't nearly as overwhelming as I expected, I finished it very quickly, my drill turned out to be broken, but it's perfectly sturdy on my rug after tightly hand-tightening everything. It's a little wobbly when I purposefully try to wobble it, which I thought would drive me insane as it shifts every time I move, but it doesn't move at all when I'm acutally using it. The casters are easily adjustable which should compensate for any basic wiggling, however the table top also wiggles individually, and I get the impression that fixing my drill wont do me any good, but again, there's no wiggle when I'm actually trying to draw or hem.
I should mention why I bought this table. I wanted a drafting table that I could do art and sketches on, but I needed a multipurpose table that I could use my ancient (and super heavy) sewing machine on, and could hold up to any various fix-it projects. I was worried this table wouldn't be strong enough, or big enough, however I'm very happy with the purchase…………………………
