When I started working for myself, I found myself sitting on the couch while I worked more often than not. And then when the pandemic hit, I was even more sedentary. My New Years resolution was to stop sitting, so I researched standing desks and settled on this one. It was well/reviewed, and by far the least expensive option I could find.
The desk arrived on Dec. 31//just in time for me to make good on my resolution. It was easy to put together. The only issue is that my delivery was short by two screws, so I havent yet installed the drawer. But it came together very easily, and it looks great.
The desk is fully , with space for four presets, so you can have one for standing, one for sitting, one to elevate your camera to get a better angle for video conferencing, and a fourth for anything else that youd need.
Its very sturdy, and when the motor is adjusting the height, its completely stable. You can have a nearly full cup of coffee on the table, or a desk lamp, and you dont have to worry about any of that toppling or spilling while adjusting the height. I toyed with the idea of getting a desk lamp with a clamp for the new desk, but I didnt want to mar the finish. In retrospect, I dont think I needed to worry. Though I got the rustic wood finish, its laminate (but still looks terrific//youd never know until you touch it and find that its completely smooth), so I dont think a clamp would actually hurt the finish. But since the desk is so stable, theres no issue having a stand/alone desk lamp.
In order to use the cord management tray, Im going to need a power strip with a longer cord. Right now, my cord situation is a bit of a mess, because my power strip needs a longer cord.
But overall, Im thrilled with the desk. Im standing at it right now, as I type this review. For the money, you really cant do better. And looking at some of the reviews for desks that are four times as expensive//why would you pay more than you have to?
Incredible value. Very sturdy.
