STEM lab filled with ED tables with maple butcher block tops and red and black stools
The ED Table Series · Since 2017

One table.
Built for students.

The Original ED Table started CEF's journey into innovative learning furniture. Today it's a full series — and still our flagship.

Our mission from the start was simple: create a table that serves everyone — the students who gather around it, the teachers who plan with it, and the custodial staff who clean up after it.

The Original ED Table
