As we continue to get the "clean area" of the shop set up, I didn't like the idea of my wife's existing craft table in the area (bulky with unusable drawers).
I had been eyeballing the Husky Adjustable Height Table (link) from Home Depot. With my veteran's discount it comes in at $216 plus $6 for home delivery for the 46" 2 drawer version, which is a better price than any other adjustable height table I have come across.
Assembly wasn't too bad, about a half hour for me. You do need leave everything loose as you put it together and square it up by tightening the bottom cross brace before going back to tighten up everything else.
The metal is a heavier gauge than any cart or toolbox I have acquired in the last 20 years. The legs are preassembled with the lift mechanism. It does take a little wiggling to get the connecting rod onto each of the drive connectors in the legs, but not bad.
The drawer assembly has a rear panel, small front panel above the drawers and two side panels with the ball bearing drawer slides already attached.
The top is 1-1/8" solid wood with finger jointed strips of what look like mango wood, but they refer to is a "rubber wood" in the manual, being impregnated with a polymer. The entire thing is rated for 350 pounds across its surface but not in a single location, which they point out.
It comes with heavier duty foot leveling pads installed (1-11/16 wide) and a set of decent quality, 3" locking elastomer casters in steels carriers with open swivel bearings.
Each of the two drawers measure 1-3/4" deep, though I thought they called them 1-1/2". Each drawer is rated at 35 pounds and the size will be ideal for Jennifer's smaller sized pigments and additives she has for her resin casting.
Advertised height range is 26" - 42". Using the casters add 2-3/4" to both numbers. It cranks easily to adjust, but going through the full range takes a couple of minutes.
All in all I am quite pleased with this and impressed by the heavy gauge metal used and overall quality. Will be looking to add one to the woodworking side of the shop as the height range will allow me to use it as an outfeed table for either the tablesaw or band saw.
If you are looking for something similar and it is within your budget, I would recommend this.

I am surprised you haven't microjigged a rock yet, Mark.
