The secret to a making a great craft project is having a great craft table. Even if you have the best craft tools to hand, it’s the workspace that can really make a difference and elevate your creation. So, whether you’re working on a crochet project, are knitting a scarf, or are dabbling in hobbies like painting or papier-mâché; a dedicated craft table will be a lifesaver allowing you to get down to being creative without any worries.
While an ordinary table is a good starting point, having furniture that’s been designed with making in mind is much more beneficial – plus it’s lovely to have a craft room to escape to for your crafting. It’s so much easier to keep your craft supplies neatly organised with a purpose-built desk and handy craft storage solutions.
Key considerations to think about are buying a table that’s spacious and flat, adjustable in height, has built in storage compartments so it’s easy to keep your workspace tidy and flexibility; a table that allows you to sit at different ends of it, depending on the requirements on your craft project.
But where can you find one? Help is at hand! We’ve done the research for you and have compiled our pick of the best craft tables and desks where you can sit down to tackle all your projects – and keep your supplies easily to hand. There’s something for every craft and every budget.
