Functional desk after many hours of troubleshooting during install

The Flexispot E2 was quite difficult to put together. I wouldn&t recommend purchasing this product if you don&t have some confidence and skill with mechanical installs, and a hefty reserve of patience for the 3 hours it takes to put together. However, after some careful problem solving, and a little risk taking, I now have a fairly nice and functional desk.
I purchased the bamboo top, which is absolutely lovely, however the predrilled holes indicated in the manual didn&t line up with the holes actually in the bamboo top, and therefore they didn&t line up with the hardwaree. The manual said use of a drill was optional, and I didn&t have a drill available, so I attached the frame to the underside of the bamboo without predrilling holes. So far, there doesn&t seem to be any splitting in the bamboo top, however, time will tell if it holds up. I was pretty confused why there were pre-drilled holes, if they didn&t line up with the hardware. There were also no pre-drilled holes for installing the keypad or drawer either, despite the manual showing pre-drilled holes. There was a step for installing the cable management holder, but there were no bolts included (in the manual) for securing it in place, and now the cable management holder is in the garbage. Finally, there were several cable management clips, which were supposed to be attached by stickers, despite prepping the attachment surfaces carefully with alcohol, two stickers fell off within a month of installing. And now the power cable dangles awkwardly below the desk. Further, there is an adapter holder, which holds the adapter for the motor in place. The manual indicated there were bolts to attach it with, but there were no bolts included. Overall, putting this thing together was very unintuitive, and I would say that my success putting it together very much rested on my background as a mechanical installer. Despite trying very hard to make up for the mistakes and missing items, the end product is functional but not as advertised.
It was pretty easy to put together and works great! I am loving the simplicity and sturdiness of it. I&ve been much more productive with my new standing desk!
I love my new standing desk. It is everything I was hoping for. My husband and I were able to put it together easily in a short amount of time. Functions like a dream.
I bought two of these and they&re wonderful! The instructions for assembly were also very clear, nothing was missing or damaged, and the controls are very easy to use and see.
