Great desk - just watch out during assembly.
Great desk! Ordered this desk for is table top size and electric rising feature. Very glad I got this size top for three 3 monitors I need for work. It goes together with 15-20 bolts and they give you all the tools you need. I love it so far!
HOWEVER - be careful when you assemble this. Assembly is easy, but I suggest not to follow the order listed on the instructions exactly. I'm a mechanical engineer and I've dealt with this type of motor drive before. After reading some reviews that the motor burnt out early, I read through the assembly instructions and realized how this can easily happen. ISSUE - They instruct you to assemble the legs and motor drive unit and lock everything down on the frame, then put the desk top on and match up to the holes in the bottom of the desk top. This method could easily create a situation where the drive shaft that connects the 2 legs can get twisted, putting undo pressure on the motor bearing, leading to early motor burnout. Not that this will solve all issues, but WHAT I RECOMMEND IS AS FOLLOWS: Assemble the feet to the uprights and tighten as they say (there is no issue with this part). Assemble the cross member, shaft and trestles to the top of the legs as they say, but KEEP THE SCREWS LOOSE - only tighten the assembly enough to keep it rigid enough to flip it over onto the desk top, THEN loosen the screws screws so everything can move. KEEP EVERYTHING LOOSE. Next, CAREFULLY align the trestles to the mounting holes in the bottom of the desk top, making sure everything moves freely - make sure the drive shaft can easily slide back and forth and the legs are square. NOTHING SHOULD BE FORCED OR UNDER LOAD. Now you can screw the trestles to the table top.
NOW you can go ahead, tight up the rest of the brackets and lock in the drive shaft and cross member. This SHOULD prevent and undo load on the motor or cross drive shaft and help prevent motor burnout. Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps!
