What is the best drafting table?

What is the best drafting table?
The best drawing table is one that is versatile, adjustable, and made of high-quality materials. There is a variety of drafting table styles and designs to choose from — it's all a matter of personal preference. Four-post and pedestal drafting tables are considered to be far more durable than fold-away tables. Larger top sizes are available with respect to these tables, but they are often more expensive.
