I have had this desk for about 8 months now and more than happy with it. This desk is very sturdy and you can feel the quality of the material. Initially I had a broken power supply sent, potentially broken during the transit, seller was able to send me a replacement very quickly, for free.
This desk is highlight of my home office. Very happy with it.
I purchased the 200x80cm desk.
I had a number of reservations about ordering a self-assembly standing desk online but have been surprised by how well it’s worked out.
Packaging:
The desk parts were delivered in 2 boxes – the desktop in 1 and the legs/mechanism parts in the other. Both boxes had been packed really well with plenty of padding that is custom made for the parts to fit – there was no wriggle room for anything to become displaced. Everything was protected from scratches. Consequently everything was in perfect condition when it arrived. The boxes were heavy though.
Assembly:
The instructions are sparse – just pictures – but all the info you need is there if you examine each diagram until it makes sense. All the parts are clearly labelled and bagged and you get the tools you need for the job. There were spare screws too.
The desk is assembled upside down and only turned right way up when it’s complete. One reasonably strong person could probably do this on their own but would need the floor space to do so – I was doing this in a tight space so needed help to tilt and shuffle it at the same time.
The desktop pieces are first fitted together by wooden dowels that fit into pre-drilled holes. All of these fitted perfectly – I had been concerned about misalignment but these were fine. Next you fit a number of sturdy metal brackets to give strength and rigidity to the top. Again, these fitted perfectly.
The leg pieces and main support are then attached to the underside of the top, including the mechanism for adjusting the height. It took a bit of head scratching to get things in the right place but again, everything fitted where it was supposed to go.
The finished desk:
I’m really pleased with this desk – it’s sturdy and the desktop is completely flat and the individual panels are exactly flush with each other – there are no bumps or ridges. The mechanism to raise and lower works ok – I haven’t used it much and haven’t used the memory function but it seems pretty simple.
I would say this is a good quality product.
Went together pretty easily, though you need to have space to work in; get all the parts out etc. The control system is smooth and effective, the desk top is great, and cable management is fine. Slightly annoying that the USB port is “upside down”, but very minor issue. I like the timer and memory functions which are really helpful.
I’m 6’0″ tall and the highest position is higher than I need, and the lowest is too low, so all good for me! I have two screens and a laptop on the (140x60cm) desk and there is still room for a separate keyboard, mouse, and a notepad etc.
Altogether I’d recommend this as it has thankfully surpassed my expectations for quality and useability.
I now spend a good proportion of my day on my feet and have noticed the difference it has made to my overall health.
Table arrived in two separate boxes a day apart.
Build time was 40 minutes.
Easy to use control panel.
I did have to unscrew and flip a few
Parts, assemblers beware read instructions carefully.
Adding wheels is optional I decided not to add them.
Wrench and screwer provided
The wood finish looks beautiful 140cm is more then enough room for dual monitor printer and laptop to sit on.
Because of the long working hours, I need a lift table to relieve my back fatigue. I had a long time to pick one and finally chose this desk which met my requirements perfectly: 80 cm wide and not too expensive. Got the rustic colour. I like this kind of desktop with grain, looks like some kind of antique wood, high class and it matches my decoration well.
Function:
What impressed me the most is it had 3 height memory buttons, I can set different heights and switch between them at will. It also have a charging port design, I can charge my phone anytime. There is an alarm clock like button on the controller which regularly reminds me to switch from sitting to standing. Highly recommended.
Assembly:
Who would have believed that I did all the assembly myself, taking about 40mins. The instructions are very detailed, the parts are numbered, I didn’t even pay much attention to the written instructions as the pictures are clear enough. It also comes with the tools needed. If you want to get the installation done faster, I would recommend getting an electric screwdriver. The desk had pre drilled holes inside the table too which is fantastic.
Sturdy:
The table is able to raise and lower smoothly with very little noise. His table legs are very long, 70cm, and I think that’s why it’s able to be so solid. I really love this table so much!
I went for this one in the end, because it looked simple & sturdy, and because I wanted a desk with a single piece desk top.
It took me 40 mins to assemble, the instructions are very clear and easy to understand in my opinion, but just read through all the steps before you start, and you’ll be fine.
It came with all the tools you need to assemble it – allen keys, screwdriver etc. but I used a power tool for some of the screws.
The parts for this desk are all really nice quality, and they feel sturdy. All of the screws and connections fitted the pre-drilled holes really nicely. No issues at all putting it together.
I was worried that buying a cheaper end desk might be wobbly, but not so. The table, once assembled, is really solid and the mechanism makes a light whirring sound when moving up or down. It moves smoothly and doesn’t jerk or wobble. Even when loaded up with a couple of laptops on stands and a big monitor on the desk, it moves up and down without any drama.
Height goes from 108cm to 72cm
I have it set at 76.7cm when sitting to get my legs under it comfortably.
When set to higher height, its really comfortable and cosy to work standing up.
You can program in two height settings to the control pad memory, and then press the 1 or 2 button to switch from standing up to sitting down desk heights that you like.
It also has a timer button you can set in 30 min increments to remind you with a beep when its time to switch from standing up to sitting down, since doing either of these for 8 hours a day is not the best for us.
It comes with a couple of clips you can hang either side of the desk to store headphones which is neat.
There’s also a metal tray you can attach under the desk to put a plug bar into.
I have only two small niggles with this desk:
1. The cable hole in the desk is too small to fit a UK 3-pin plug through. Can be solved if you only feed cables through from the bottom via the thin end first
2. The height of the under-desk tray is a little short, if you put a plug bar in it, you wont be able to plug your mac power adapter into it, as not enough head room. Can be solved by buying another cable tidy under desk tray attachment, with more height to it.
Overall, a solid buy. Highly recommended.
Item would be 4 stars, because the desk board itself is not a thick single piece, but the 5th star is due to the excellent customer service: the first item received had a defective leg (wouldn’t lower), communication with the seller/maker has been very swift and clear, every message was answered within 1 working day and was provided with a clear set of test to perform to assess the issue; once the item was deemed defective, a replacement item was immediately dispatched and was at my door in 2 days, this time working perfectly. Really impressed and very pleasant to know that in case of problems there’s a prompt and efficient customer care.
