Everything about this desk is good but not great. I was worried about the seam in the middle and turns out I was right to do so. It’s as annoying as I feared. Also, the material the desktop is made out of is flimsy which means you have to be careful putting in the screws. Twist too hard and it pulls up the desk material instead of tightening down the frame. The shelves will hold a lightweight monitor, but bow under anything substantial (like my old Mac). And it feels like an extensive use of the up-and-down feature will break the gearbox. For the price, it works. But I don’t see this being a long-term desk.
