Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good quality but not for this price

I got this desk for drawing on my windows surface in bed. From what I gathered the reviews were good, especially with the high price tag of $80, so I took a chance and ordered it. Here is my experience. The delivery took some time (more or less two weeks), whether it was due to a delay due to COVID-19 or not I still don't know. Shipping from the US so I'm not sure of the specifics. Received in less than 3 days after shipment. My first concern was when the package arrived it was just a product with a shipping label on it - no protective box just a product. The box is pretty cheap and feels flimsy, and it wasn't sealed at all, with just some regular cardboard tabs to keep it closed, so I'm very lucky someone didn't just open it up, grab stuff and close it again. high. I literally wouldn't notice a difference. Installation was a breeze. Raise the table, unfold your legs, boom. Adjustment is easy and there are a variety of heights and angles to choose from. It rises to a great height. LOTS of leg room and surface area, I can almost comfortably cross my legs without touching the table legs. Four holes at the edge of the surface offer a lot of customization and easily slide in and out at will. The palm rest is made of nice silicone but offers minimal grip and is just a silicone shell over a thin plastic strip with pins. Could have been thicker and more support than nothing at all. Here's my biggest problem: when I spend over $80, I expect the quality I paid for. The surface is very smooth and hard, no dents or scratches, the outer finish is good. The wood itself feels very cheap, it's light and I'm sure it sounds exactly how it sounds. I don't mind, but I do worry about how reliable it will be after a month. It feels like it shouldn't go on. My BIGGEST issue is strength: the legs have a slight bend in the joints which allows them to swing back and forth. Everything snapped into place properly, the screws are tight and I still have a slight wobble accompanied by an odd sticky noise. I bought this specifically NOT to shake or give as I need it for art and can't draw on a wavy surface or need to keep things still to do what I'm supposed to do. The legs are made of thin, cheap metal, and the rest of the parts and connections are plastic. Raising or lowering the table isn't difficult, but almost *too* easy, so we'll just see how it holds up. seems as cheap as a $30 table I might buy elsewhere. I searched for hours to make sure it was a good buy and that it was exactly what I wanted out of all my options. So I did my research. It's good for what it is, but I didn't get the quality I paid such a high price for.
