Putting it together wasn’t too bad, I expected worse! I had a friend who is much handier than I help though and when the motor wasn’t working quite right at first, she was able to figure it out. Just make sure you pay attention to the instructions as when we first put it together only 1 leg went up. But we fixed it and now it’s great! It’s HUGE which is exactly what I wanted. Comfortably fits a laptop and 2 monitors. Just know the top does come in 4 pieces! But as I don’t want to pay upwards of 700 for a standing desk- this is perfect.
