Fine. The standing position is too short. Not exactly.

While working from home due to COVID I decided to upgrade some items (like my chair) and add some temporary items (like a second table). I bought this table because I needed an inexpensive standing desk to break up my long days of VC meetings. And this table was definitely good value. I didn't worry too much about the looks as I thought I might donate a free table after the pandemic is over. Setup was pretty easy. However, I found that even at its maximum position, the desk wasn't high enough to comfortably stand and use the keyboard (I'm 5'6"). So after a few hours I lowered it to a sitting position. Height (which is best done by laying the table on its side and adjusting the legs so you have to remove everything from the table.) Since then it has stayed in a sitting position.One really weird thing is that the worktop isn't level - the whole table leans slightly forward towards me and there is no way to fix it, all in all not bad to return - it was very cheap and I use it But the quality is what you expect from one should expect such a cheap table. Also, forget about the standing position as it is too short for 90% of Americans.

Pros
  • I keep my fists
Cons
  • Low maintainability
