This desk makes things easier!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This desk replaced an adjustable height desk with a manual crank that adjusts the height. This one is a lot easier in that before, I felt I had to commit to either sit or stand for a while due to the manual cranking taking a bit of time. Now with this desk, if I want to stand for 3 minutes, and then sit, it’s no problem. Highly recommend this over a manual adjusting desk.
For this desk, you’ll have to get into the habit of using the lock button on the side of the desk, as the adjustment buttons are on the surface at the lower right. There were a few times I inadvertently hit the buttons and my desk started to move (the buttons are “touchscreen” like on the top, where they are painted on). But what’s great about this desk is that there is a digital readout that shows the exact height of the desk. If you’re OCD or concerned about finding the right height, then this is better than having a motorized desk with no indication of how high it is. Also, the 3 presets are great here. I just hit the button for my saved height, and we’re good!
For the size, I’m able to fit a laptop, external monitor, and iPad, all in a row, but no room for much else.
Pros:
Fast, quiet motor
Surface smooth, meant to be written on with dry erase markers.
3 height presets
3 USB chargers, powerful enough to charge iPads
Desk drawer
Easy to assemble

Cons:
Bar across bottom where your feet go sometimes gets in the way
Paint chipped on foot bar
Desk will move if you touch the buttons on the desk, and forget to hit the lock button on the side
Doesn’t go as low as some desks

Overall, the pros far outweigh the cons on this one, and am very happy with this desk!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy with this adjustable height desk. The design is perfect with an ergonomic fit and smart placement of controls and extra USB ports. The ability to set 3 different presets is very nice and makes it easy to move from sitting to standing. The overall look is very clean and modern, fitting perfectly in my office decor. It was super easy to assemble and is very solid construction. The motor operation is so smooth. Very nice desk!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The perfect desk for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly, I'm in love. This desk meets every single one of my needs. Being 5'2", finding a surface that's just the right height to work at can be a bit of a challenge, especially as a crafter who sometimes works sitting and other times works standing. This desk solves that problem. I can adjust the height to exactly where I need it whether I'm sitting and drawing, standing and using a rotary cutter, or sitting at my sewing machine. The glass topped surface is wonderful - I can use a grease pencil or even a sharpie to jot down notes I need to referance for a project I'm working on and they'll stay put until I clean them off - rather than having to use a post-it note that will inevitably vanish at the worst possible moment. The built in USB ports are perfect - I can plug in a USB powered LED lamp to illuminate my work surface and keep my phone charged.
All in all, this is just the desk I've been looking for and I highly recommend it to any artist/crafter who faces the challenges of needing working surfaces at varying heights without the space to have multiple setups.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
