The desk is pretty (I got the light wood top with white bottom version) and seems to be sturdy but not overly heavy so I could put it together myself. The raising and lowering mechanism is quiet and smooth, and you can save certain heights to make it easy to adjust. I also like the headphone holders on the end and the cable slot in the back, so much more organized that way.
My only complaint is the keyboard tray, I haven't found a way to lock it in to place so it moves as I'm using it. Even when it is fully extended it is moving around a bit, but for the most part I like standing/sitting a little closer to the desk so I don't want the tray fully extended but then it really moves around while I'm typing. Not sure what I'm gonna do about that but that really is the only thing I don't like about this desk, the rest of it is nice!
