The Classroom is table-less. This is a pledge drive for tables to make the space usable for members to use the room and classes, events and other things to make better use of the space.
Each table is £87.60 (inc VAT), and 4 would be the minimum purchase (£350.40) and 8 would be the maximum needed for the space allocated (£700.80). Delivery is free but we must purchase 4 at at time.
The tables will match the sturdy tables in the Studio which have lasted for years and can accomodate 2 people side by side with enough space for laptops and kit, for example when Arduino programming.
