I waited a couple months to write a review, just to be sure nothing broke immediately. Wow, where to begin?? This is amazing, I've been so surprised and delighted. I've wanted a standing desk for years but never thought I could get one for less than $700, which I don't have to spend right now. So I decided to try one of the cheaper options that fits my current budget, and I am delighted with this desk. Putting it together wasn't that hard, I did it mostly myself and asked someone to help me at a couple of parts (you will need someone else), maybe took an hour total? I'm surprised by how solid it feels for what it is. Obviously I wouldn't *sit* on it, given that the top is two pieces, but it perfectly suits my needs. I was able to arrange my monitors nicely on the elevated portion (which I LOVE, I was looking for a standing desk that had that and this was the only one I could find!) My keyboard and mouse slide nicely into the middle compartment (with room to spare), and I put various small office items in the two little cloth drawers. I love the hooks to hang headphones on the side. And finally, the motor. I have a standing desk at work so I can compare: obviously the pricier one moves faster, is quieter, and has more settings. But for the price point this one WORKS, and that's all I require it to do!! It has one little motor that goes whirrrrrrrrrrrrrr and slowly raises and lowers it, I watched it carefully the first few times but now I just let it do its thing and walk away for a minute while it does it. I've seen nothing to indicate any wobble or anything like that, it seems very sturdy. I had a friend who is a carpenter look at how it's held together and he said it looks solid, so for whatever that's worth. I use this desk for many hours on most days, I raise and lower it constantly, and it has not complained or given me issue in almost two months. Ultimately, at this price point I think this is the best you're going to get, and I plan to get a good number of years out of this if I can (fingers crossed the little motor doesn't die, lol).
