5 Stars, but measure your existing keyboard height before you buy any desk
Sitting 8 or more hours a day is hard on your body, especially as you get older. As the ergonomic experts say, "sitting is the new smoking". Hit the button a stand up for a while several times a day. There are a BUNCH of height adjustable desks to choose from, so take your time when shopping to determine which best will work for you. This is a great sturdy height adjustable desk and I am happy that I picked this particular one. The price is reasonable for the features. Pro's: You can program the height you like (and easily change it, as easy as programming a preset on a car radio). Note that some height adjustable desks have a hand crank, just say no to that! Others have a motor and a lever, but with no preset button to lock in your favorite height when standing. Trust me on this, you want a model like this that you can program, then just hit one button to stand, another to sit. This desk is very sturdy The motor which raises or lowers the desk is very quiet The desk looks great. I chose black because most of my computer gear is black, but it is available in many colors. MEAUSURE THE HEIGHT OF YOUR CURRENT KEYBOARD TRAY OR LAPTOP before you buy any desk. The lowest height of this desk 28.8 inches. I am a low rider and I like to adjust my ergo chair lower than most. 28.8 inches is 5 inches too high for me. I got around this by buying a separate adjustable keyboard tray which allows me to have the keyboard up to five inches lower than the desktop. Also, there are not a lot of good ergonomic keyboard trays out there. I bought a HUANUO Keyboard Tray Under Desk Adjustable Ergonomic Sliding Keyboard & Mouse Tray, 25" W x 9.8" D, Black. The only problem is the mounting bracket is 14 inches long, and it sticks out two inches (not a deal breaker). Why? Because most height adjustable desks have a bar that goes across the middle of the bottom of the desk (it's like a differential with a gear mechanism so both legs go up and down in sync). I looked at more than 25 desks and none of them including this one provides enough details or measurements to know if a 14 inch keyboard tray bracket will hit the bar along the bottom of the desk. Con: (still 5 five stars, they gotta fix this misleading claim) The photo on the monitor says 5 minute assembly. Maybe if you had your tools ready, read the instructions, had everything unpacked, then put together 10 of these in a row to practice; then by the time I got to the 10th one, then yes, I could probably assemble the 10th one in 5 minutes. But I took my time and got it done in about 45 minutes. This model does have more components already assembled (like the bar that contains the up/down gear mechanism). But five minutes? This is very misleading and they should remove this claim from the description. How about 5 minutes less assembly time than the competition? Read more
