Which is better for painting and tracing?

The glass table. Its transparent top lets light through for tracing and tilts to 75°. The large table's MDF top is opaque and stops at 40°.

Which has more room to work?

The large table. Its main top is 35.4×23.6 in with a 15.7×14.2 in side counter, against a 23.62×23.62 in glass top.

Is the glass table worth saving about $16?

Yes if you trace or want a steeper tilt and higher height range. No if you need a big, heavy-duty surface; the large table holds up to 158.7 lb.

Which is sturdier for heavy equipment?

The large table publishes a 158.7 lb tabletop limit and a 265 lb stool limit. The glass table does not publish a weight capacity.

Do both include a seat?

Yes. The glass table includes a chair, and the large table includes a 16.3×16.3×21 in stool with a PU leather and foam seat.

The large table's powder-coated steel and MDF should resist chips better than glass, which can crack. The glass table carries only a 90-day limited warranty; the large table states none.
