Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ SHW Memory Preset Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk, 48 x 24 Inches, Maple - Ergonomic Workstation for Improved Productivity and Comfort by John Salleh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good cost, pretty quick and easy to assemble solo.

I bought this desk mid March 2020 so I could work from home a little more easily (we have standing desks in the office and I had gotten used to it). I'm short AF and most set-height standing desks are too high for me, so I wanted a cheaper standing desk with adjustable heights that could fit me.The entire assembly process was pretty straightforward and I was able to build the desk alone in about an hour and a half with a few breaks in between to answer emails and do a little bit of work.- All the little screws and dowels etc. were packaged in their own plastic baggies and I got a few extra parts. The different sized allen wrenches that the instruction manual referenced were included. All parts large and small (eg the table top, legs, baggies of screws, etc) were labeled with a letter which was used in the instruction manual, so pretty easy to follow.- One slightly tricky part of assembly is that the leg with the motor doesn't stand up on its own, so I ended up stacking the packing materials up to keep it upright while screwing in other parts. Not an issue IMO.- I did also have to use my own screwdriver to get some of the tinier screws in (e.g. to screw on the control panel), which isn't a problem, just kind of a minor inconvenience when they probably could've made all the screws be hex-wrench-able.- Also, the table top really is in two separate pieces that you connect with the dowels that are included. I haven't really noticed the seam all that much during daily use, but I know other people don't like the way it looks. The two pieces put together feel sturdy enough; they both have 4 screws each to connect them to the side rails, so even when I tug on them a bit, it doesn't feel like it's going to come apart.It worked immediately upon plugging in. Controls for moving the table up and down, as well as setting specific heights with the numbers, were straight forward.- It's a little wobblier than the standing desks that my office has, but those are probably more expensive anyway. It shakes when I use the controls to move the desk up and down, and it wobbles my monitor a bit when I type. That being said, if your external monitor isn't 10 years old and on a piece-of-crap stand, you probably won't have any issues with it. Nothing is ever at risk of falling off. I have water bottles and coffee mugs and I'm never worried about them falling over when I move the desk up and down or when I type. To be fair, I am also tiny and have tiny hands and tiny muscles so if you're bigger, maybe consider something sturdier.- I have nothing to say about the longevity of the motor, since I've only had it for one week and I only need it at standing height. I rarely move the desk up and down. For my purposes, even if the motor broke today, I wouldn't care.

This is the perfect desk if you have multiple monitors and wish to stand up and work occasionally. This is actually our second desk we loved the first one so much.
