Disclaimers: First of all, I am NOT a professional artist, drafter, architect, etc. Second, never having had a desk like this or worked at one like it, I don't have anything to compare it to. Those two things out of the way, I will say that I love this desk and stool. It was so easy to put together; it is sturdy, provides leg room, easy access to changing the height and angle of the table, and is a perfect ergonomic fit for my time spent at it cartooning. I got the T-square but do not use it. I can easily if I want. The stool is delightful - I can raise and lower it in seconds with a couple of Wheel of Fortune spins. There are no trays or drawers for supplies but I didn't need them as my table desk is set up adjacent and I have room there for my accessories. The only addition I made to the stool was to buy a seat cushion for it. Like any other wooden seat, it can get hard to sit on after awhile. But that's not the stool's fault! I think this was a great deal for $185. It came well-packaged, directions were simple to follow, tools and hardware all provided, pieces organized for unpacking. Great experience - so pleased!
