A good, quiet, fairly well built table. I used a 5ftx30in maple butcher block on top. As you can see, we have carpet, padding over low grade flooring in our apt, so this may be responsible for some of the wobble. It's not severe or dangerous, but noticeable at standing desk height. If I knew I would not raise it/lower it, a push against the wall would be enough to stabilizes the wobble. In our current set up, I'd say most of it is the carpet and padding that provides the slight give for wobble, so I won't blame the manufacturer. That said, four legs is always more stable than inverted "T" style, so take that into consideration if you, I don't know, sit on your desk! It's smooth, quiet, does not smell, and was fairly easy to put together (just me, alone). The box came chewed up in a few spots, but the packing foam did its job. It was well packed. Of the extension bracket tabs (4), one had 1 bad weld -basically not doing anything, but it was still solid and I am not worried at all about its function (photo). The instructions were printed too small for humans and neglected a few items (the video did as well), so the tips. The black inserts (two photos) are slid into the holes on the four table-top support beams that attach to the post. These black plastic pieces will be loose and not serve any function other than allowing you to blindly insert the screw without it falling off your driver into the tube. Once those four screws are tightened, the plastic pieces serve no function. I believe there were two extras in the bag. All the bags were well labeled with the screw type needed according to the instructions. If using the extension support beams, make sure to line up the ends well so each total beam is the same length and DO NOT tighten the screws down hard -just lightly (photo). They kinda indicate this, but mostly you infer what they mean, and some might miss it in haste. These 8 screws, four each side, will be hard tightened later. Last tip is for the perpendicular beams added to the posts (last photo). I used an impact driver on medium power setting to drive all screws. If driving too hard, I can see that these screws (two each side) can deform the metal tubing. Not sure of the quality of the steel, I didn't want to take the chance of splitting the tube or bending it. Point being to be aware that the screws can deform the steel if power driving them. It's a good table support and quiet. The hanging straps for cables worked nicely to organize the underside. The cords are long enough all around. The control pad works easily and takes little space on the bottom. It is quiet to raise and lower. On price: this is a good deal (thank you China -many quality products are made!) and kept my need within a low budget (something lost in current arguments). Over the course of 3 weeks, the price was $299 or so, then it went up to $317, but with a small discount code, so it went down a bit, but I still wasn't ready, and then there was a timed sale and I purchased then and bought this solid unit for a total of $265. A steal. Read more

I was originally going to order the normal Topsky standing desk , but right when i was about to finish my order another option appeared for a more heavy duty version . So i went ahead and purchased this one since i was going to be using a solid wood butcher block style counter as the table top . I was very impressed with the quality of the standing desk, materials are very sturdy and feel stout . Doesn't feel like cheap thin metal . The installation was pretty straight forward , i can say the manual is not a specific model manual but more of a generic manual for Topsky standing desk legs. Either way it was pretty simple to assemble once you get rolling. I recommend having two people to make it easier since moving the parts around and aligning the holes with the heavy parts is not super easy . The metal finish is somewhat of a Satin black finish, it is not glossy nor matte which is perfect for me . I had read in the reviews on the other Topsky model that the wiring was way to short for the controller , on this one all cables were long enough for easy install and plenty of length . Just make sure to plan out correctly in the install before you screw everything in . Performance wise , i have only had it a day or two but it is working perfectly . The motors are super quiet and smooth operation. It easily moves my Butcher block countertop and everything on it with ease. Im about 5'8" and when i raise it to a standing position the table or legs barely wiggle from side to side. at the moment my table measures 64 inches and i have the legs set 2 inches from the corner on each side. I can imagine this helps on reducing the wobble motion. I raised to its max setting which definitely is to tall for me but even at its highest setting it still feels pretty solid. Packaging was very good , all parts were individually foam protected and the company gives you plenty of mounting hardware . One note on the installation, in the manual it does not mention to insert the hole guides to help you place the screws for the extension rails. I later found that viewing the video they provide in the manual , it mentions the use of the guides. Please use them, it will make guiding the screws a lot easier for install . I will update in a couple of months to see how it is still operating. Read more

The media could not be loaded. These motorized desk legs work amazingly well with a custom butcher block top from Home Depot. I thought it might be too heavy with all the things I needed to mount to it, under it, and on top of it, but the motors do not struggle one bit. They also are not that loud at all. The memory settings make it ideal for sitting and standing while also standing with a small treadmill underneath that can be pulled out when needed. I appreciate the craftsmanship of these motorized desk legs and the ability to customize a DIY desktop to them. I can easily recommend this entire setup for anyone trying to create a new sit/stand desk that needs to be strong enough for a lot of weight. The setup this is lifting is: Two MacBook Pro laptops Book shelf speakers Samsung 57” G9 Curved Monitor Balolo Large Cockpit monitor shelf Vizio sound bar Heavy Duty Monitor Arm AVLT pole mounts for laptops BTOD Ultimate Cable Management Box Butcher Block for kitchen counter top 69”x40” cut down to 60”x40” I hope this helps explain the weight capacity of these motorized desk legs. Possibly even more weight since an Xbox, camera, microphone setup has been added underneath as well. Read more
