The desk, overall, will work - the dimensions were perfect for a loft studio  office space. Motor operates smoothly and the action feels high-quality. The powder-coated finish on the legs and other black hardware is nice and matte. My only complaint is the wood grain- it is very fake looking. I will eventually be overlaying a birch veneer and staining that, to achieve a natural wood look. I know this look doesn’t bother most folks, though.
