Here is an art table designed to provide you with all the work space you could need. Measuring 96"L x 28"D x 36"H, it is a simple, sleek and attractive addition to any creative work corner. Its trestle legs make it strong and sturdy and you have the option of adding a storage shelf underneath. Basic construction knowledge is all that is required for this easy-to-build art table; the trestle legs and trestle spreader braces will need to be cut at a 22o angle.
