SHW 40-Inch Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk with Drawer, Memory Preset and Cable Management Tray, Walnut

Heavy-gauge, very solid black-coated stamped, drilled and tapped steel construction was a breeze to assemble.Instructions were extremely clear. Sleek, attractive minimalist design. All components arrive in excellent condition, and fit each other exactly as designed.NOTE ON ASSEMBLY: Instructions are very clear. READ them, too; don't just look at the pictures.At the bottom of every page, the assembly pamphlet clearly advises to WAIT to tighten ALL screws until ALL screws have been threaded into place. This is REALLY IMPORTANT: do this for a straight, rigid assembly. It's designed this way so that final tightening provides a uniform tension as things get tightened. Got that right the first time around: my desk is flat on its broad feet and dead level.NOTE ON USE WITH KEYBOARD TRAYS: This is on me: I should have waited to order a keyboard tray until I had the desk at hand; I ordered the familiar sturdy Vivo, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H7UGD7Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, and found that the desk's sturdy cross braces do not have sufficient space for this model's bracket.There is 11" of free space under the desktop from front edge to the front cross brace; the tray model I'd ordered requires 18". Again: my problem, but good to know, in retrospect! This keyboard tray is probably unsuited for most electric desks.SAFETY NOTE (unrelated to quality of product) The only snag was a literal one encountered during unpacking: the staple on the end of the red ribbon that secured the plastic bag containing the instruction sheet to the shipping container. The red ribbon extended outside the box (where it was firmly taped to the outside of the package) so it would be clearly visible; I did not anticipate that as I grabbed the ribbon and yanked it, there might be a -staple- securing the end of the ribbon inside the box to the instructions baggie. Ouch!. (This is in no way a problem with the product.)COMMENTS: Great product, reasonable price, fine value.- Seller might consider including front-to-back mounting area underneath for accessories is 11" max; this is not a typical spec, and may be typical of adjustable-height desks. Velcro wire management strips were included; obviously, I have a couple more to deploy.- Wire basket that holds power supply and excess cable behind the cross-braces seems to have been folded the wrong way around to fit as indicated in the instructions. the tabs on the brace to hold it are a nice, snug fit for the wire gauge, but the transverse reinforcing wires of the basket are on the outside of the basket, so that the basket cannot be inserted into the tabs unless it's oriented opposite the view in the instructions.Definitely would buy again, but almost certainly will not need to do that: solid, attractive and comfortable product.

This is a excellent Desk for my at home office. Was easy to assemble and is pretty sturdy for the price. The motor is not very noisy and the up and down movement is smooth. The finish of the desk top is also excellent. For the quality and the amount you spend on this desk, this is a great value. Will be ordering a second one soon for my Gaming PC in my bedroom.

The media could not be loaded. I bought this for $250 in May of 2023, about a year ago, and it's probably the single best purchase I've ever made on Amazon. As of April 2024, this desk is now only $200.Foremost - do NOT let the fact that the surface comes in two pieces deter you from purchasing this. This desk is extremely stable and study. The desk surface is completely scratch resistant, don't worry about writing too hard on it and leaving indentions. Yes, the reason they can make this desk so cheap is because they can ship it in a much smaller box by splitting the surface in two. However, the seam is far back enough so that you'd never even remember that it's there. From front to seam, it is 18.75 In. Unless perhaps you're using it for large paper-based art. If so, then yes, the seam would be susceptible to leaving holes in paper were a pencil to forcefully run across it. I've never once had that problem, but there is indeed an indention.If you plan to use a computer on this desk as I do for work, then the value and quality of this product is unlike anything else on this website. Competitors of lesser quality are often nearly twice the price.The stability is honestly hard to believe. Better and much cheaper than IKEA for sure (I love IKEA, hard for me to say that), and I believe the standing desk at my company's office is name-brand veridesk - it's as stable as that if not moreso, even on carpet, at the highest level of elevation. I am 5'10" and the highest it can go is still too high for me.I have had it for a year, and have raised&lowered it automatically 5-6 days a week with no issues since I first bought it. I do cardio in the mornings before work, and usually stand until lunch and sit from 1pm-5pm. No problems whatsoever.Assembly was easy, though be careful about over-tightening some of the screws before the others. I feel like doing so improperly would make the entire thin desktop bow inwards. Loosely place all the screws, them carefully tighten afterwards proportionally.Great sized workspace, the cherry red is very stylish, great value even when I bought it for 30% more than it is now. Whoever engineered this deserves a raise, and whoever is selling it needs a high five.
