The WDL-ST-700 unbranded traditional freestanding speech lectern is designed to blend formal classic styling with reliable, presentation-focused functionality for professional event spaces. Its freestanding pedestal structure supports a slanted reading surface set at a 20-degree angle, sized 680 mm wide and 420 mm deep, to keep notes and presentation materials at an easy, unobstructed reading angle for standing speakers. A 30 mm raised perimeter lip runs along the edge of the reading surface to prevent documents, tablets, or notes from sliding off during use. The lectern rests on a matching lower plinth base 700 mm wide and 550 mm deep, fitted with non-slip nylon rubber bottom feet to sit securely on hard or carpeted flooring. Overall dimensions measure 700 x 550 x 1200 mm, with a balanced footprint that remains stable without requiring permanent floor mounting. Constructed for long-term regular use, the lectern features a core substrate of 18 mm thick E1 grade high density fiberboard, overlaid with 0.6 mm thick natural red wood veneer and finished with a water-based matte lacquer rated 2H for surface hardness, with tested abrasion resistance across 1000 cycles of regular contact. The finish supports low emission performance, with formaldehyde emission levels at 0.05 mg/m³ and TVOC emission levels at 0.1 mg/m³ for indoor air quality compliance. A 50 mm diameter brushed chrome plated ABS plastic cable grommet sits flush on the top surface, routing microphone and AV cables down into the internal recessed pedestal cavity that provides accessible open storage for presentation materials, while integrated ABS tactile membrane switch controls support easy operation of connected AV equipment. The top surface supports a static load of 50 kg, with anti-tip stability rated for an 80 kg offset load, and the unit weighs 45 kg when fully assembled for steady positioning. This lectern is ideal for formal conference rooms and executive meeting spaces, where it supports standing presenters delivering speeches and internal presentations, as well as auditoriums and assembly halls for stage use during events, ceremonies, and official public addresses. Procurement teams should note the unit ships as one set across two cartons, with a packaged gross weight of 120 kg and packaging volume of 0.8 m³ per set; on-site assembly requires an 40 minutes per unit to complete before use.
