That drafting table setup at the Denver public library is overrated

I went there last Tuesday to use their big flatbed scanner, and everyone was raving about those sit-stand drafting tables on the third floor. Honestly the surface texture is too rough for precise pencil work, and the edges chip after just a few months of use. Anyone else find a better public workspace for manual drafting?

Man that's a bummer about the surfaces. I tried those tables once and my pencil kept catching on the grain like @wyatt513 said about bad handwriting. I got so frustrated I just gave up and drew on my laptop case instead. At least the chip edges match the state of my drafting skills pretty well.

The Denver Central Library ones are beat to hell. Try the community college downtown, their tables have way better surfaces.

Yeah but man, my handwriting looks like a doctor wrote it even on the best surfaces. Could have a marble slab and I'd still make it look like chicken scratch. That community college tip is solid though, their tables are way nicer.
