Is it smooth enough to use as a writing table? Will it leave a texture on the page or bounce the pen while writing?

Not smoth enough to use as a writing table. It will leave a texture on the page and bounce the pen while writing. I use a magazine or a pad under my paper. I use this table everywhere and for everything. Writing, reading, computer, cooking, when cleaning out cabinets, working outside, etc. Love it.

It has a little grainy feel- not bad----I use mine for a Christmas village so no problem. Don't know about the texture for sure--but don't think it will bounce a pen.

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.

It feels very similar to their Intuos tablets, except you're drawing on the screen. I've never had the pen slip. It glides smoothly without issues. The screen is not as rough as a piece of paper would feel. There isn't that kind of resistance to the pen that you would feel on a piece of sketch paper. I hope that answers your question.

I think it has a richer look than non textured. But I like to handwrite my cards inside as apposed to printing them and it's a little harder to write on. I'm probably the only one that writes my own cards. Think it's more personal.

The table is sturdy enough, however, as it is on the side, I am not sure how comfortable writing would be for any length of time. Remember, there is also a cup hole in the table.

Yes! (just tested), even though is is not 100% (smooth/shiny). To test it I grabbed some regular printing paper an wrote with pen/pencil and the very small (almost unnoticeable) crumbling of the surface did not pass through when writing.

It works well enough I guess. The paper has enough grit to hold on to the ink but still smooth enough to let it flow like normal. Although lately I've been using a paper called Master's Touch Drawing pads but this one will get the job done pretty well. Good luck.

Very slightly textured, but I don't think the texturing would be the problem. The problem I think would be that the surface is a soft rubber which would make writing a bit iffy. The backside is plastic, with long strips of rubber for feet. I think the desk is just plastic. Not stuffed with anything, really. It's a rigid desk.

So sorry for the late response, but my daughter says that it does not feel like paper on the surface cover, she says it is smooth. I hope this answer helps...:-)

The top is somewhat smooth but it does have a bit of a texture to so Iwont recomend that you draw on it because the table is not smooth

I think it kind of feels like a gel pen. It's really smooth and sometimes it can be rough with the amount of times you use it but they are great pens.

I have two of these and the first one I got was amazing, smooth, and felt great to write with. I use it for my daily journal. The second one I got was oddly clumpy at first but got better after a bit of use.

When writing it's very smooth and does not slip as easily as it would on glass alone. I really can't compare it to paper, but it is like I said before, it's really smooth and no loss of responsiveness.

Hi. Nice table, but not enough support for direct paper and table top hard writing due to thin padding. The paper won't tear, but you'll leave marking on the plastic cover on top of table.

Smooth enough for the pen to draw on it.. Its not glossy, however the intuos 5 is thin enough to feel like a piece of paper and it easy to maneuver. You will enjoy it.

that is what i use it for. the surface isn't smoothe, so you will need something under your paper for writing

I would consider it smooth. There is a very minimal amount of texture; just enough to keep it from being slick smooth.
