Great for art projects, designs, sewing projects, etc but I don't have a need for it in our new house. There is also a stool not pictured and a metal ledge for the bottom when the surface is raised. From Michael's website: Specially designed for creative use, this table by Artist's Loft is the perfect workspace for arts and crafts projects, sketching, drafting and more. Its large work surface has one-hand tilt so you can adjust your work, and there's an additional flat surface that expands your available space. The desk features an extended work surface as well as a slide-up pencil ledge. With ample storage space, you can keep all of your supplies safely within reach.  Details: 55" x 24" x 26"-35" adjustable height 34" x 24" table surface (extends up to 16") 2 cloth drawers (12" x 18" each) One-hand tilt adjustment (up to 45 degrees) Includes stool with pad (not in photo)
