Good table, not so good manual!
=TIP= A common complaint is that you have to keep holding the button while the desk moves into position but there is a solution so you don't! The manual doesn't mention this but if you QUICKLY tap any of the number keys (1,2, or 3) 3 times in a row the table will go to the position by itself so you DON'T HAVE TO HOLD DOWN THE BUTTON and wait for the table to get to position. Not sure why they don't mention this very useful feature in the manual but hopefully they do in the future.=UPDATE 10/5/22= Happy to report the desk is still working well, no issues with the lifting mechanism.=UPDATE 11/11/21= Still going strong after ~8 months of use. Have not had any problems with the electronics after cycling the desk all the way up and down many times with about 40 lbs of stuff on it at this point. It also survived a 6 hour ride being bumped around in the back of a Uhaul trailer because I didn't tie it down so I guess it speaks a little to durability...The review for the 48'' Black frame/Walnut top:To start, everything has been meticulously packaged. Honestly, it's a small thing but I can say this is one of the most protected and well packaged product I have received. Good to know that it can survive some abuse from the shipping process.The installation is not hard but does require a bit of patience as there are quite a number screws you have to put in. I used an electric drill so it was a breeze. Make sure you keep track of the orientation of the table on the manual figures as they switch this up a few times. The easiest way to do this is to make sure the holes on the table top align with the holes in the frame when you join them together, I messed up this step and had to unscrew everything, doubling the installation time. Other than that, there weren't any other issues. All the holes are big enough and lined up perfectly with the pilot holes on the table top.Build quality is good. There was a little nick on the edge of the table that came from the factory but I am not too bothered by it although some may be upset by this. In fact, I think it adds to the rustic/industrial look.The table is sturdy at the lowest setting and although I expected it to bend more at its highest setting, it actually is surprisingly stiff, likely due to the thick steel beams they use for the legs.The manual is not great at explaining all the features and one glaring thing that's missing is the ability to move your table to a memorized height without needing to hold down the position button. The manual says you have to hold down a number key (1,2,3) in order to move the table. However, if you quickly click the number button 3 times, the table actually moves to the memorized position without you needing to hold down the button the entire time. I will send them an email to see if they can add this to the manual.Regarding longevity, I've read some other reviews here that claim the desk doesn't last very long. As an electrical engineer I believe the control unit is probably the culprit here. If I experience any issues with it I will be sure to update this review, if there are no updates then the desk is still working!Overall, I would recommend this desk. It does everything it claims and is sturdy and fairly easy to put together.

Pleasantly surprised at this price point
Definitely came into this purchase with fairly low expectations, and was pleasantly surprised at how nice the desk looks and works. So far.Assembly was easy(did it entirely by myself in maybe an hour), it works nicely (there's a little jerk when moving it initially but after that the movement is smooth and quiet), and is much sturdier than I was expecting. Handles my laptop with 34" curved monitor no problem.The top does come in 2 pieces, but I clamped and glued them together and you can hardly tell there's a seam. The surface is very textured, which I wasn't sure about, but it gives the top a really nice feel and look, and doesn't cause any issues. The top is a little thin, but surprisingly rigid.The only issues I came across were1) short a couple screwsWas short 4 screws for attaching the frame to the top, but I had plenty of extra screws around from other projects2) it is not anti-collisionI have another desk tucked a little under this one right now, and ran the desk down until my monitor arm hit the lower desk, and it started lifting this desk off the floor. Not unexpected at this price, but was hoping for anti-collision.Still, much better than I was expecting for the money.**Note:It is dual motors, the top is (nice) laminated MDF, the memory is very easy to program and use, it comes with 2 hooks for things like headphones, and a power strip shelf for underneath(not on use), it does not come with keyboard tray(it's an ikea one I've had for many years).

Fairly simple to assemble and so far no problems functionally
After reading plenty of reviews on electric adjustable height desks, I made the decision to go with a DUAL motor one. Mostly because of the weight capacity and sharing of the load between a symmetrical lift system just seems to make sense.I won't get into the weeds about the table top being two pieces (which BTW doesn't affect the use, its a the center line of the desktop or about the laminate was cracked when screwing the hardware onto the bottom of the table top.Here are my observations to some of the complaints. The table top is the junction for EVERY component of this adjustable table. When screwing the binding plates and reinforcements, I found a couple of items.The square metal plates that secure the aforementioned two halves of the table top are sturdy and look great the problem are the predrilled holes - they don't line up with the ones on the metal plate. Now you could probably force the screws down at an angle or with enough effort make them "self tap" through the laminate/MDF.There is a problem with that approach. It could potentially cause the MDF to crack or erupt on the opposite side when forcing the screws. Take a look at the second photo where you can see the screw length vs the table top thickness. There isn't much margin for error, plus without a pilot hole that extra MDF has to go somewhere when the screw is boring a hole right?So I added some metal washers to pull back the screws front going too deep, plus I drilled (1/16") holes that actually lined up with that metal bracket. ALSO on every page of the instructions that showed installing the screws - it clearly states "DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN SCREWS". Good reason, there isn't much room for error. How many will admit to cranking down those tiny screws?The square table top brackets aren't the only ones that didn't line up. The two side brackets that line up with the left/right table legs did not either. I too used metal washers and drilled additional pilot holes.Other than those nick picks - the desk appeared to initialize correctly, took the 3 memory positions and worked smoothly during the several tests.The included wiring tray was great to have, as I didn't have to figure out how to neatly arrange the wiring. Problem was the predrilled location interfered with the monitor stand table top clamps. So I simply moved it towards the center and drilled two new pilot holes reassigning the rear tray holes to the front ones.I have dual set up using some older 24" Dell monitors that weigh about twice the newer ones do and secured with an older heavy duty Fleximount (has 1.25" tubes and a double clamp) dual monitor bracket. Combined probably in the neighborhood of 35 pounds of hardware plus the wireless access point, keyboard, mouse, speakers and stationary - around 40 pounds total. The table motors handled it with ease and only a few seconds between positions.PROS - simple to assemble and get working. Cost value with coupon.CONS - pilot holes not accurate. Wooden dowel pins are loose - recommend using some wood/carpenter's glue with the dowel pins. The wiring tray interfered with the monitor clamping bracket but your mileage may vary depending on your set up.OVERALL - recommended adjustable desk set up just be diligent about checking if the hardware lines up correctly and have a way to make some new pilot holes if necessary.
