I am pleased with my purchase. My husband works from home and wanted the option of a standing desk. The desk is heavy and sturdy. The color is darker than it appears on the site. It is more of a amber color without the reddish tint. The depth is also larger than I expected. I should have payed a bit more attention to the dimensions there because I wanted a small space desk. The crank works great. You need some muscle to crank it up, but turning the crank in the direction to make the desk go down is easy. I am happy with the desk overall. I would recommend this product for anyone who is looking for a standing desk that will add to their home decor.
