So far, Im very happy with this desk! Simple to assemble myself (took about an hour, leisurely pace) and it was packed in the box VERY well. I shouldve taken a picture, but the amount of styrofoam used to ensure the best delivery was a great first impression. Ive only had it for a few days so far, but the height adjustment mechanism is very smooth and seems to be working great (though I havent exercised it to the fullest since my office chair hasnt come in yet). Love the capability for presets and the size of the desktop is perfect for my laptop and a monitor on a stand (with lots of extra room for creating a mess of papers as I typically do ). Its a fairly small space so maximizing the desktop real estate was critical for me and this fit the bill 100. I would highly recommend this desk based on my experience so far.
