I am a beginning pastel artist. I had a French easel but my arm got tired holding it up while I drew. I got this table because I can sit down and draw and leave my arm on the table. I was able to put this table together in about an hour. Most tools needed are included. You just need a Phillip's screwdriver. It is a great size and I like that it has the side trays to hold my supplies. I probably won't use the cup holder but someone else might.

Pros: Great value, easy to put together, side trays and drawers, clean looking
Cons: None
