Abstract: A drawing table is provided, which has a top hingedly connected at a first end thereof, to a first end of a base, so as to be pivotable between a closed position, and at least one open position with respect to the base. At least one arm, and preferably a pair of arms, are provided, which are movable to an unextended position when the top is in the closed position and in which the arm or arms lies substantially parallel to the top and the base, and one or more extended positions. Each extended position corresponds to an open position of the top. Retaining means preferably of a releasable adhesive material, such as that sold under the trademark VELCRO, releasably retain each arm in each extended position.
