I really like this large variable desk. Recommend you cut out the desktop dimensions on a piece of cardboard and place it where the unit will sit. This will allow you to make sure your space will fit this very large desk. I use a 17-inch laptop plus a 24-inch monitor with a keyboard and mouse. It fits all, and I still have room for coffee cup and my forearms. I use mostly at full height where I can rest my arms on the very smooth surface. Very steady even with all of the weight and I like the smooth surface. Be aware that the desks with the small lip on the edge can be an irritant to your forearms. The smooth and diminishing edge taper on this one makes it really comfortable. Lifting and lowering is fairly easy if you take your time. I expect this to be a part of my office for many years. Hope the quality is built to last. Read more
Even though it’s a little pricey, it is very sturdy and big. It holds everything on my desk. I need it to you. It goes up and down very easily and conveniently. I use it every workday. I have purchased much less expensive, smaller, less sturdy products in the past, and they were just a disappointment. Read more
I love this desk! It is super easy to adjust and makes it a breeze to adjust the height from sitting to standing. It does require two hands to lift, but the non-lever side just needs a little help when lifting and lowering. It is a great value and completely stable, super easy to use. Read more
The desk space this provides is tough to beat. For reference, the main screen in the picture is a massive 35" wide monitor, next to a 13" MacBook Pro. This is a corner desk, but I turned the desk 180 degrees to take advantage of the larger area in the "front" of the desk. Works great. Seems very sturdy. I was a bit worried about the large monitor and weight of my accessories. No issues. The only reason it doesn't get a perfect score is the raising & lowering of the desk. Other reviews have mentioned the same. Lowering is actually quite easy. Raising the desk takes some effort. Especially if you're near the recommended weight limit as I am. The first few inches of lifting can be a strain before the pumps kick in. From there it a very easy lift. **This may be a standard limitation with all standing desks with the raising/lower difficulty. If it is, I'll raise my rating to 5 starts. It really is a quality/sturdy desk otherwise. ** It's fine for me as I plan to keep the desk raised all day, but if you plan on adjusting from sitting to standing multiple times per day, I could see it getting cumbersome. I'd consider their electric model if that's the case. Overall, very happy with the purchase for my needs. Read more
I rarely gush like this in a review, but after a full year of Zoom meetings and computer work, my shoulders and neck were in bad shape. I've never had great posture, but it's really bad when I'm sitting down at a work station. I looked at a bunch of sit-stand options on-line and was really wary about the "electric versions" that supposedly only need a push of a button. All I could think was, "Yeah. Until it stops working." So, this version is mechanical and just requires a physical "up or down" pull with both hands. So, it's sturdy, well-made, super easy to adjust within less than an inch, nice-looking and versatile. It would work just as easily in a corner, but for my office "straight on" is best. I've hardly sat down since I got this a few days ago and I feel much better. I will say that you will probably want an "anti-fatigue" mat to go with it. That makes a big difference as well. I got the Topo-Mini and you can see it in my photo. Plenty big enough for me (5' and 130). Read more
I like the price, shape and the size of the top. I am able to fit two monitors, keyboard and have a writing surface. The only negative thing about It, is not an easy task to raise and lower the desk when you have things sitting on the top. You have to gradually raise and lower. This desk is all in one level which is perfect for the type of work I do. You have to pulse the handle, very light pressure and slowly to raise and lower the top. If you don’t the top will drop fast and everything sitting on the top may fall off. When you raise it you may need to lift it get to the correct height, this is also done slowly, I gradually raise it up, pulsing the release handle, this seems to be the best way. Overall. I would buy again because of the price and size. Read more
This is a quality, sturdy rising desk topper. But no joke, it is heavy! It took 2 people to put it on my desk. Although I can lift it up, I have to really brace myself to get that bit of momentum you need for the hydrolic to kick in. If you aren’t very strong (I’m a 5’3” woman, so you don’t have to be crazy strong), this might not be for you. However, it’s got my monitor, several desk accessories, keyboard, and usually a book to two on it, and it is sturdy. It’s also large enough to hold all of that plus space for a notebook, writing materials to take notes during a meeting with room to spare, and that’s what I was looking for. If everything I need to work doesn’t rise up together, I can’t really work standing up. Great purchase. Read more
