I purchased this desk when the Shelter in Place order was given for COVID 19. Good construction and easy to assemble. I ended up not using it because it did not go low enough for me, only down to 29” which is fine for many people but not for the petite (5’2”). I had to search for something that went down to 23”. My husband who is 6’4” is now the lucky user. Fits him perfectly, allowing him to stand and sit very comfortably. Great buy at $299. I also got the extended warranty offered by Amazon.

Pros:
* For under $300, this was a good buy.
* Functionally very good (height adjustable) and everything working as expected.
* Build quality is good, sturdy and the white desk looks good.
Cons:
* Instructions were really bad. Had to backtrack couple of times.
* See pictures, there are more holes on the bottom of table top, more screws than needed sent with unclear instructions. You are left wondering what are these extra holes for (see picture of extra holes near up/down control button, an extra hole on each side of the table top support beam). If they are not be used, clearly say so in the instructions.
* While they sent some tools with the shipment to assemble, you still need minimally a screw-driver of your own to assemble the table top to the stand.
* The black power adapter holder has two holes, but there are no screws given or any instructions on how to hard attach it (should we even screw it in, or just place the holder using its hinge? It is secure, but moves laterally left-2-right, as it is not screwed in).
* FlexiSpot — please make your instructions better and complete. (I found a video online, but that also did not address many of the above issues). May be post a step by step detailed assembling video to make it easier.
I dinged one star, as the top-left-edge had a small dent/damage to it. Unfortunately it is on the front side. I am sure this occurred during Shipping by Amazon. It is not hurting any functionality, but definitely disappointing when you get something brand new. I opened a case with FlexiSpot for the damage — let us see what they come back with.
I see another customer posted a review/picture with similar damage. FlexiSpot needs to tighten up their packaging to avoid this type of damage.
Will use it for few days and update the review with additional details.

I’ve been looking for a standing desk to add to my workspace due to long hours of sitting. This is the PERFECT desk! I love that it’s white on white and matches my other office furniture. I was able to put the desk together in about 20 minutes and the controls are reactive and do just what they’re meant to do. The motor is quieter than I expected which is nice during transitions from sitting to standing. I highly highly recommend this desk and may end up getting another for the other side of my office!

I ordered this desk for me, but since my child’s is on back order she is getting to use it. It may just remain this way, we shall see, as this desk is working out really well for her. Its adjustable height desk is great for her, as she is in elementary school and they have wiggle time and she loves to raise it up and move around. The adjustable feature also is great for little ones as it is allows the height to be customized to many sizes and to accommodate many chairs. The components of this desk are super heavy duty, high quality and well made. Assembly was straight forward, not really complicated as the instructions were really clear, but it does require a little muscle. I assembled it alone in my garage, only needed a hand from my husband to lift it into the house. It comes with accessories I did not use including zip ties that help hide wires. Since we do not know if we will swap this around the house or not, I do not want to use them just in case we swap out computers. Currently this desk is in a corner of my living room that I had other plans for, but I think it looks great and I am very happy with it.

This is my 2nd standing desk. I had it for 3 months now. Construction is solid, table is quite nice and smooth. So far, it’s working flawlessly and it makes a huge difference in the ergonomic aspects of my work. Havin said that, it is most certainly N0T easy to assemble and definitely requires 2 ADULTS to set certain elements in place such as legs and motor. Those u tubers lying about how they did it in 1hr with the help of their six year old niece are fabricating big time. It is a good desk but it is NOT quick and easy to assemble. Check that ALL pieces are there and of course get a drill to open the holes where the guardrails go. Follow the instructions carefully, take your time and you’ll be fine. Get help from another person over 16yrs old if you have trouble figuring out the instructions. Expect two days to assemble it if you are an average person with an average knowledge like me. Now, those who claim to put it together in 2hrs, blah, blah, good for you. Once it’s set up for me it has been a huge benefit to have this desk but, again, be prepared to put in the effort to put it together. For its price and performance so far, I’d say it’s been worth it.

I just purchased this desk on Thursday, May 14, 2020 and it was delivered today on Monday, May 18. Both parts were delivered at the same time from FedEx. The directions are very simple and it took me about an hour to put together because I’m meticulous. ha! This is a beautiful desk and sturdy! I’m impressed by the overall quality and ease to put together and operate. I’m 6’0 tall and the standing picture that I posted isn’t even all the way up but perfect height for me. Please don’t hesitate to purchase this desk. The packaging was amazing and in perfect shape when it arrived. Enjoy and don’t have second thoughts. HIT THE ADD TO CART BUTTON! Stay safe out there. 🙂

Built pretty well and tall enough for a 6’0” person.
This desk has dramatically improved my computer intensive lifestyle.
It’s great value but there are trade offs at this price point.
Firstly, the legs must start at the same height to avoid a crooked desk. If you happened to offset the heights of the legs during assembly, the instructions won’t help you fix it at all. This is how to do it. Assemble the entire desk with the exception of the transmission rod. Plug the desk into your wall socket. Adjust the height of the motorized leg to its lowest setting by simply pressing the down button (use the motor). Next, insert the transmission rod only into the non-motorized leg. Clamp an adjustable wrench onto the transmission rod (hexagonal part) and manually crank the leg to its lowest setting. Next connect the transmission rod to both legs and test it out.
Secondly, the four threaded holes that allow the center beam to bolt to the legs are tapped at an angle slightly off from 90 degrees. This means that fastening the four bolts in this assembly is not possible without breaking some threads (which I was forced to do on one bolt). Maybe a lock nut is a better idea here.
Lastly, the quality of the paint is not great and it will fade relatively quickly.
