Drafting Table

This drafting table was probably one of my favorite pieces I ever came across. I speak of it in the past tense because someone gave me enough money for me to let it go… I had it in my house for many years…time to let it go.  It originally had a large wooden top that was attached to the cast iron base, it tilted back and forth as well as up and down to suit the draftsman’s fancy. I switched out the wood top for a found piece of glass that is nearly 3/4″ thick and added the wheels. The thing I  was most “drawn” to by the table was how versatile it is. It can be cranked up to bar height down to dining height or used as a counter. It was a great table for parties. It did double duty as buffet, dining and console table…and could be rolled around.The glass top let’s one appreciate the beautiful workings of the table and your friends shoes.
