Great drafting and drawing board. Straightedge slides smoothly and remains parallel. Lock knobs lock it in place. All in all a great portable drawing surface - IF - all the packaging is included.While I did order this board in a damaged box at a reduced price (which I have done in the past with great success, I might add), one of the foam packaging corners was left out! Net result - destroyed board! Sure, Amazon arranged for a free return and even threw in $20 for my trouble, but I now have to explain to my client why my finished product will arrive late!Lesson learned - DO NOT BUY DAMAGED BOX ITEMS! Ouch!!

Reviewed in Canada on July 3, 2020
J'ai beaucoup utilisée cette table à dessin 24x36 pouces pour l'université en architecture: la règle reste fixe lorsque vissée sur les côtés, il a aussi des appuis ouvrables pour l'accoter sur une table, ce qui est très pratique.

Toutefois, la règle glisse moins bien et cela reste cher pour une règle parallèle.
