Might take longer than 30 min to install and controls might be on left side
I ordered this desk for my home office setup due to needing more room than my tiny desk could handle (added 2 monitors) and wanting to try out a standing desk before plunging in and buying a very expensive one. For the price point, this isnt a bad option.
First off, it took me well over 30 minutes to assemble this desk. If you can, have an extra set of hands when youre assembling this because it was very difficult to do solo (as a small female who had issues holding the legs and support bars to bolt them together). Secondly, the photo shows a right handed control panel and the instructions also show the controls being on the right at the end, but mine are on the left. This wasnt ideal for me and I ended up building it backwards to start trying to get the controls on the right. Also, with measuring, it doesnt reach the max and minimum height specified. Not a big deal for me, the minimum height mine goes is perfect for sitting and I wont need to go near the max height for standing but for anyone who is taller be forewarned.
The pros for this desk: it moves up and down easily even with the weight of my monitors, taking less than a minute for me to go from sitting to standing. The grain of my wood panels is close enough to ignore the seam from placing them together (Ive seen some other brands that send panels that have the grain going opposite directions which wouldve bothered me significantly). Also, theres these special cable zip ties included so I could feed my wires along the back of the desk so they didnt hang, which is good because I have more wires than the included cable management attachment could handle.
Despite the few issues I have with the desk, so far its a good investment for the money. Ill look into upgrading to a higher quality standing desk if I end up using the feature more often, but I enjoy this as a starter
