Bought a $500 'smart' drafting table that just collects dust now

Thought the built-in LED light and motorized height would be a game changer. Used it for maybe a week before the software kept glitching and the surface was too slick for my vellum. Total waste, could have bought a solid used Mayline for that cash. Anyone have a reliable manual table they swear by?

Five hundred bucks for a slick surface that won't hold vellum? That's just painful. The software glitches are the real kicker though, makes the whole "smart" thing a joke. My old steel frame table has zero tech and it's never let me down.

Ugh, that's the worst feeling. I fell for a "smart" kitchen scale that was supposed to track my macros. Thing can't even connect to my phone half the time, so now it's just a very expensive paperweight. All that tech just gives you more stuff to BREAK. My back feels for you, hunched over a slick table.
