I needed a standing desk for home and I was a little apprehensive about buying this one due to the low price. Most of the standing desks I was looking at were in the 300 to 500 dollar range. I was shocked with what I got.
Unboxing:
The package was much smaller than I had expected it to be and I was a bit worried for a moment but read on for the explanation of the box size. There were a few dents and dings on the box that came from shipping and handling. I was certain that those dents and dings would also be on the contents. I opened the package to find thick white high quality foam. Not cheap styrofoam but the high quality type often used for packing computers and other high end electronics. There was a pocket for each item to keep things from crashing around in the box and hitting one another. Each part was individually wrapped in plastic. The desktop came in two pieces separated lengthwise and uses six dowels to join it together. The desktop looked in the pictures like some sort of distressed or antique wood so I was not sure what to expect when I received it but it is just a high quality printed veneer and I am perfectly happy with it. The dowels slipped right in and did not need to be hammered. The top is then held together by the various mounts and brackets that go underneath. I like the two piece desktop as it is the reason the box is so small. After assembly I found four heavy duty rubber corner pieces and actually spent a few minutes trying to find where they go before realizing that they were actually corner protectors for the desk top.
Assembly: Total parts count was fairly low and the diagrams in the instructions were perfectly clear. I actually did not pay attention to any of the actual words as the diagrams left nothing to be questioned. The required tools were included however if you spent the money on the desk I recommend just a few dollars more to buy any cheap electric screwdriver as it is a huge time saver. There were no parts that seemed fiddly or places where I thought I needed a helper. The instructions showed to flip the desk upside down to screw on the desktop but a trick I found helpful was to temporarily power up the control panel and raise the desk to it's maximum height. Then place the desktop on and just sit underneath to screw things together.
Function:
As mentioned before I did not bother with anything other than the assembly diagrams. Even the control panel was very self explanatory. Setting the presets is just like in a stereo, you just press and hold to store that height. The desk does move very quickly but it is fast enough to be used regularly throughout the day. The motor is fairly quiet and the desk moves smoothly with no grinding sounds. The top is a tad thin so there is some flex to it when my arms are resting on it but I do have fairly large arms.
Conclusion:
Far more value for the money than expected. I would buy other products made by this company based on the quality. Assembly is fast and easy and package is fairly small albeit a bit heavy. It seems to work well and I have found nothing deceptive with the way that this desk was advertised. I did just finish the setup so I will update this in the future if I have issues. I am good about updating reviews if a product fails after the fact so if you don't see an update then everything is still as described.
