This is another example of a space-saving studio taboret table for painters. It doesn’t feature an easel, so you’ll have to buy a tabletop easel separately. Still, the taboret itself is already a handy addition to your art studio.

The storage space of this taboret is bigger than it seems due to the few shelves of different heights.

A lovely minimalistic studio taboret that looks more like a small desk will be a true centerpiece in many interior styles. It’s durable enough to be used in school art classes or even in kindergartens, and it’s totally safe to use. Taborets like that allow you to extend your working space and use the vertical space in the room more efficiently.

You can also organize your art supplies very neatly and store them nearby whenever you’re working. The taboret features a lower shelf for possible canvas or paper storage. You can also place cups full of brushes in there – they’ll fit nicely. The bottom shelf and the top surface are both made of hardboard that is fully supported by steel frames, making them durable and lovely to use.

The two drawers located under the top surface are fully made of steel. Depending on the model, they are located either on top of or next to one another. The two drawers both have stops to prevent them from being completely pulled out by accident. This makes them convenient to use and safe for children. The drawers’ size depends on the taboret model, but each of them has plenty of space for your art supplies.

The frame of the taboret is made of steel, durable and long-lasting; no assembly is required. That makes it a heavy one, but you’ll be able to move it around easily using the four casters at the bottom. The casters are made of hard rubber and can be safely used even on wooden or tile floors.

DESIGNA 3-Tier Utility Storage Rolling Cart

This is the type of art cart/ studio taboret that you probably see a lot of artists, crafters, or bullet journal makers on social media use in their art spaces. And it’s like that for a good reason – these taborets look pretty! They can be easily customized and adjusted and can fit a lot on the inside. The taboret can separately and conveniently hold various art materials simultaneously, from paper or notebooks to washi tapes and ink stamps.

The cart is made of 100% steel, meaning it’s extremely durable, sturdy and will not let you down. Its three-tier shelves can hold over 20 lbs each, and the cart can fit so many art supplies that it’ll be a great decision for the smallest rooms. It would be a great way to utilize space and store the majority, if not all, of your art supplies within reach of your hands.

You will be able to move the cart around or keep it in place using four heavy-duty casters, two of which are lockable. It will stand even on a slope, and the edges of the shelves won’t let your art supplies slip and fall off.

Speaking of the shelves: this taboret has not just three-tier shelves; it can become anything you like with additional baskets and storage accessories. It features a pegboard for hooks and organizing baskets, and you can place the other baskets on the sides of the shelves or not screw the pegboard on at all. Store your supplies in one nicely designed cart and organize them as neatly and as thoroughly as you like!

Giantex 20 Drawer Rolling Storage Cart

You can often see studio taborets like that in places like beauty salons, offices, garages, and workshops, as well as art spaces. This taboret is lightweight and durable, very versatile, easy to use and can fit a whole lot of items of different sizes inside of it. It has a metal frame and 20 spacious plastic drawers that can be easily removed for cleaning and placed back on their metal rails.

The taboret will be great for larger spaces! It can be rolled around on its casters, two of which are lockable, and by pulling the metal handrails on top. However, we don’t recommend using it in spaces accessible to smaller kids because the drawers can be pulled out completely and fall with all of the objects inside. Each drawer has a convenient round metal knob.

The fact that the drawers are non-transparent might be an issue for some, but they have plenty of space for stickers and labels to know what’s inside of each one. But some people will actually find opaque drawers very convenient and safe. There is also a similar cart option with transparent or colorful drawers if that’s what you are looking for.

This taboret also has some space on top since the top drawers are covered with a flat surface. It might not become an extra working space, but you can definitely use it to place some currently in-use objects that need to be accessible. It will help you free some space on your working surface and optimize your working process.

The maximum measurements of this taboret are 25 x 15 x 35 inches, the last one being its height. It makes it almost the same height as an average table, making it convenient for placing near your workspace.

ADEPTUS 7 Drawer Gate Leg Roll Cart

Try this studio taboret if you are looking for something more simple and minimalistic, but still very durable and good-looking. It’s a perfect option for sewing, but we’re sure that many artists and craftspeople will find it amazing for their purposes as well. It has seven spacious drawers on its side, and it’s also constructed so that you’ll be able to sit behind it and use it as an actual working table. 

The downside of its design might be that it can be inconvenient for left-handed artists since the drawers are meant to be located on the right. But other than that, the drawers sit quite tightly and are easy to pull out due to their design.

You can extend the space on its top with the help of a gate leg extension, and after you’re done working, you can make the taboret compact again. Its dimensions are 29 1/3 x 41 ¾ x 15 1/3 inches with the extra space on top pulled out. It will work well with medium-sized and smaller spaces, and you can move it around on its wheels quite easily. 

The entire taboret is made of real wood without any particleboard. It will last for years and be a lovely-looking piece of furniture even when no one’s using it.
