I picked this desk up on freecycle thought it would be great to do some pyro work and piercing work on as well as painting if I make a false top so that it holds the bowl when tipped upwards. It can be angled at varying degrees up to about 60 to 75 degrees. It was wobbly when I got it and all it needed was all the bolts tightening all nice and sturdy now. It has even two sets of draws under neither for some of the odd bits and pieces and also a retractable lip at the bottom which stop paper and the like from slipping off.
