This is great for odd art projects. The only thing I dislike is the drawers are very small and I sometimes knock them with my legs. Also, I wish there was somewhere to keep a jug of water since I do watercolor with the desk raised. The glass surface is great - easy to tape paper on it and easy to clean.  The lift is at a good angle too.  Sturdy and reliable table, but have additional storage for when you need a flat surface for supplies if you work with the top raised.
