Review on πŸ–₯️ ErGear Electric Standing Desk Frame - Adjustable Height Ergonomic Legs | Motorized Workstation Base for Standing Desks | Black Table Frame Only by Sarah Foreman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It costs: 2 months Update

I followed a previous reviewer and also went to Home Depot to buy a nearly finished 74" x 39" birch butcher block. I'm so glad I did. I thought about shortening the table, but I have free space for the table. The desk is solid even at my preferred height (I'm 5'11") and my 49" monitor mounts on the rear armrest. The cutting block was easy to work with. I decided to sand it down to 220 but when I bought it it already had a 180 or 200 finish. I then applied 3 coats of mineral oil. I was liberal with mineral oil, spilling just a drop on the table and spreading it over each layer. let it dry about 30 minutes to an hour between coats. I then took some cutting board wax, which is a mixture of karanuba and beeswax combined with a scent that I find pleasant. This seals the butcher block well enough for tabletop use and gives it a nice dark hue. The table legs were a simple assembly. I have to measure twice to make sure everything lines up correctly. I have the middle slider on maximum to support the table and everything is fine. Each has two screws on the side connecting the support wings to the legs. You need a blue latch because the natural weight I put on the table can rock it back and forth and loosen the screws. If they're not very tight, it becomes pretty obvious. A third screw below those two (forming a triangle) would help combat that influence. When the screws are tight it's not a problem and I can rest my elbow securely on the table and not sway back and forth. In general I am very satisfied. For about $450 I have a butcher table that holds my 49 inch monitor. I'm approaching the weight limit listed on the motor so I'm curious to see how it holds up beyond two weeks. Update 2 months later: The table is still there. Boring update I know. Sometimes the axle makes a grinding noise when lowering. Grinding isn't the right word. Is it more of an echoing vibrating sound? It actually rubs in a detrimental way and it only happens occasionally which leads me to suspect it's because of where the axle shaft was before it was lowered. Update after 10 months: Nothing to report. The table still works great.
