FLEXISPOT EN1 Whole-Piece Standing Desk - 48" x 30" Electric Height Adjustable Heavy Duty Steel Stand Up Desk Frame w/Automatic Smart Keypad (Black Frame + Maple Top, 2 Packages)

I've had this desk for about seven months, and it's held up well !I spent MONTHS trying to find the best desk that fit my needs. I'm a student and have a full-time job that is 60% remote. I could not keep working on the bed or an end table. I wanted a sizable desk that would fit my 16-inch Lenovo laptop and 27-inch HP 27mq monitor and still provide me with enough arm space to write on a few notebooks.I love the simplicity of this desk, both in aesthetics and functionality. I had a hand-me-down secretary desk; I hated it; it was large and bulky and had a billion drawers that took up most of the desk space, leaving very little room when I had my laptop and journals on it.This desk is adjustable, but I have never used it. I currently use a dining table chair, so I adjusted the desk's height accordingly and have had no reason to change it. It's stable; it wobbles if you write super aggressively or physically shake the edge of the table, you can see the monitor screen shake a bit. But the structure itself is terrific! It does not at all wobble at the feet. Also, I spilled acetone on it once, and it didn't ruin the finish of the table at all, so yay, lol :)Assembly took around half an hour and was easy to assemble. There are many pieces, but the instructions were very clear. I would suggest using a drill to speed things up, but also, there are 2 or 4 screws that are supposed secure the middle bar to the table, and there are no premade holes. The legs don't have premade holes either, but it wasn't a big deal as there wasn't any space between them. Since there's some space between that middle bar and the underside of the table, it's hard to screw by hand.I definitely recommend this desk to anyone who likes the minimal look. It's sturdy, reliable, and spacious.In general, I would love to see more sizing options; this one is 28 inches deep and 55 inches wide. I initially wanted a 32x62-inch desk, so I compromised a bit. I found a couple of options within that size, but they were too bulky, had two tabletop pieces, or sported two different colored finishes. I wanted a completely solid white color as I didn't want to darken my room, so I bought this one, and I don't regret it at all. :)

TL;DR - this is my second "cheap" standing desk and this is leagues above the first.Pro: materials are much higher quality than cheaper options and worth the upgrade.Pro: the desk is a single piece and is much thicker than other brands.Pro: the width can be adjusted so that you might replace the top with something smaller or larger in the future.Pro: crystal clear communication. The desktop arrived damage and a replacement was sent immediately. The seller also let me know it would arrive in two packages and may even arrive on two dates.Con: the 55 x 28 x 1 inch desk was 55 x 27.5 x 1 inches. Personally, that half an inch difference is moot, but would have been nice to know.Con: the black table top is a fingerprint magnet, but I expect any black table top to be like that.Con: the controls are basic. The (overall worse) other brand desk had better controls like a lock out and an alarm to remind you to stand up.Overall the better quality materials make this the best option a budget friendly standing deck.

I've used high-end electric desks at work, and since you typically get what you pay for, I was a bit wary of buying one for home that was so relatively inexpensive. But overall the reviews were positive enough (especially regarding customer service) and there were some good tips regarding assembly, so I figured it was worth the risk.Both boxes arrived with the contents in perfect condition: the boxes used very thick, heavy cardboard, and the corner protectors on the desktop were made of a very dense rubber. I've unpacked a lot of furniture (assembling desks for classrooms and computer labs), and the packaging for this desk puts many so-called "commercial" products to shame. Any damage that might occur would be due to careless shipping and handling - not how the factory packed it.Assembling the desk was straightforward enough, although I've put together enough of this sort of furniture over the years that there weren't any surprises. Just take your time, follow the steps, and you'll be fine. This can be assembled by one person, but a second set of hands will make things easier.All of the pre-drilled holes lined up where they were supposed to. One assembly tip: line up one of the end holes in a leg with its corresponding hole in the desktop, and drop a thin nail into the hole to give it something to pivot around. Then with that hole aligned, line up each of the other holes, again dropping a thin nail into each one until they're all aligned. Then drive the screws, replacing each nail, one at a time. No guesswork, no misaligned screws, no do-overs.The only two pilot holes I had to add were for the center crossbar, so you will need a drill and a small bit (a hand drill or pin vise would work for this). For driving all of the screws I used a hand screwdriver, so I wouldn't run the risk of stripping out the particle board.Everything went together very nicely. There were no stripped threads or alignment issues. Overall, I felt the quality of the desk and and the fit and finish of the parts were excellent and exceeded my expectations.The motor operates pretty quietly, and raises and lowers the desk just fine, even with a bunch of stuff piled on top of it (I don't plan on testing what its limits are - it holds what I need). I had an error message pop up on the controller once when I attempted to recall a saved height, but unplugging the desk from power and reconnecting it resolved that. No issues since.The desk is solid and stable. At its higher settings it will sway a little bit when leaned on, but that's just physics at work - if you need something that's really solid at full height, get something with four legs instead of two.The only (minor) gripe that I have is that the cords could be a bit longer: the one for the control panel so you could reposition it if you needed to; and the power cord which barely reaches the width of the desk.I'm very pleased with this purchase. It met my budget, and exceeded my expectations. It's a good-looking, solid, quality desk. Hopefully it'll hold up over time - but so far, so good!
