I bought a Mayline Ranger Drafting Table

Last month, I bought a Mayline Ranger Drafting Table for my personal use here in my office at EngineerSupply. Ordering online is somewhat addictive in that I placed the order, and in a few days a truck driver delivers the box to our office door. I opened the box and everything, all the parts were well packaged and protected, I was glad to see no damage had occurred during transit. I had always heard that they were easy to assemble but this was quick. The leg assemblies, left and right, were already together. I simple installed the stringer support (the part you put your feet on) and then the top two supports, then the top, along with the hinges and height adjusters. I think it took me about 20 minutes top to open the box, unwrap the parts, and get the desk together. It took only a wrench and a screwdriver and was totally painless. I imagined it would be lots of parts but it really wasnt. I was delighted when I found the leg assemblies already together, plenty of hardware, and easy-to-read instructions (I'll admit I didn't use the instructions at all). The table is extremely sturdy, and the board is nice and thick.

Drafting Tables for Back Pain

Many people experience back pain during their lifetime and many have back injury that results in prolonged or either permanent back pain. We have found that many doctors have recommended tall desks and chairs to patients that must return to work. The height of a drafting table works well since you don't have to get up and down as far when sitting. The ability to leave your legs and feet extended help alleviate back pain as well.

Mayline Drafting Tables, Mayline Office Furniture

If you work in the AEC (Architectural, Engineering, Construction) Industry then you've most likely heard of Mayline Products before. Their line of Mayline Blueprint Storage Racks, Blueprint Stands, Blueprint Hanging Clamps, Office Furniture are all built for professional and commercial use. I got started in High School Drafting Class on a Mayline Four-Post Drafting Table, then moved on to using AutoCad in college. It may sound strange to some, but even after I started working full-time, I worked at a cad station that was built on a four-post drafting table. When I changed jobs and started working at a regular height cad station desk, I quickly realized that I missed the drafting table height. Working at drafting table height on a drafting stool allowed me to easily stand up and walk to a nearby reference table or go collaborate with coworkers about a project. It was easier on my back, and allowed me to stretch my legs and body out straighter while at the drafting table height. Also, the size of the drafting table allowed me to lay my drawings out while working in cad. The mix of old school drafting and cad were a natural fit to me.
