Is the tabletop surface smooth for writing on?

This table top has a slight texture to it, not completely smooth. However I would think it would be fine to write on because it is minimal texture.

Semi smooth textured finish. Not as smooth as a sheet of glass. With one sheet of paper and a pen there is very slight deflection.

It has a bit of a texture to it, so writing with just one layer of paper would not be great. We use our 2 tables at the holidays to create a dining area large enough for the entire extended family to sit together and they work great for that. However, I attend a class every year where the facility uses the exact same table and I am able to easily take notes in a legal pad. It would also be OK for kids to use for coloring or art projects. Hope that info helps. BTW...we love our table and chairs and the family kept commenting on how comfortable the matching chairs are espeicallly considering they are folding chairs.

It's not as smooth as a glass surface, but the difference between a completely smooth surface and this table is negligible.

No, I've not had any trouble with indentations from handwriting. The table top is not tender at all. This is a sturdy table and I'm very pleased with it. Still use it every day, several times a day.

I just tried writing on the table using a pen on thin paper and thicker notepad paper. On the thin paper, you can feel the slight grain in the tabletop, but not with thicker paper. I would say to use a blotter.

I purchased two of these for my husband and son, so I have not personally used it. However, they both love it. I'm sure the surface is smooth enough to write on, although they use theirs for their laptops.

No it does not feel like paper. It is pretty smooth, but we don't use a stylus.

It has a kind of sanded feel. Not polished. I have not experienced any slippage myself.

Brushed, I think. The surface feels smooth, but it has a matte look, not shiny. I hope that helps. I really like it for all my magnets and a message board.

The top (where the laptop rests) is hard breathable rubber. I actually just tested writing on a piece of printer paper and a ballpoint pen - surprisingly it works, not ideal to compose a novel on, but to jot notes down it should work well. The backside is just hard plastic with two thin rubber strips (for traction on tables) also can be written on and fells like you're writing on.....plastic. Hope that was helpful :)

Hi, Sorry for the wait as I had to ask my daughter about it since it was a gift. The surface has a texture. Other then that it work fine, and she loves it.

It is hard and flat, but I find it to be kind of slick, so it depends on what you're writing on. It shouldn't be too bad though.

The corners are mostly smooth. This was a concern for me too but it turned out to be perfect. No sharp edges to worry about.

It's a smooth surface, but I didn't find it to be slippery even though I used a smooth-surfaced tablecloth.

No, it's like any other mouse, it doesn't work well on smooth surfaces. Mine came with a mouse pad though.

That's what my wall is. It isn't smooth really but it's not rough. It's slightly bumpy if that is any better at explaining. And well when you write on it wont have a smooth like paper line. But it's doable. My kids used it until it didn't stick to the wall anymore.

It is not a smooth surface at all. But does not show texture. If you haven't tried it, please do so. My prints are beautiful on this paper and are perfect for galleries or museums.

Yes, the top and bottom are smooth. All the screw heads are on the back, sides, and front.

I haven't seen a problem with writing hard on the table. Then again my daughter is just using regular paper or construction paper to do most of her drawing and writing. Hope that helps.
