Most adjustable desks are easily $300 and up so when I saw the price on this one, I jumped on it! It's also the exact size of the desk I currently had so it fit in my current space perfectly. There was only an option for "quick install" and from my experience, that is always the best option because it means less assembly for me. It came with the legs already attached to the desk top.Assembly was straightforward and not confusing as most instruction manuals are. I did mess up on one step, but it was operator error. I didn't fully "click" the sync rod into place. You have to get it just right before it will fully extend into the grooves on BOTH sides, which is tricky because they're not rounded. You have to use a bit of force to get it right.Others mentioned the desktop being in two pieces, but I think that only applies to the bigger tops. Mine came with one piece.I also saw a review that said the sizing was off so I measured mine and had the same "issue". it was just shy of 47 inches long but exactly 24 inches wide. Had I not measured it, I would have never known. It didn't and doesn't bother me, but that may be of importance to some. Like I mentioned, it was the same size of my previous desk which is what I referenced before I purchased this one.So far, the top is pretty sturdy and has a good weight to it. I have a plant in a stone planter pot, a desktop computer with acrylic riser, keyboard, mouse, and other other varied sized items. It doesn't shake or sway when I am using it. I do avoid leaning on it because I don't want to risk straining something.There is a caution about keeping the area clear of obstruction, which I would think is common sense. I wouldn't recommend relying solely on the anti-collision feature. I'm fortunate to have a dedicated space for my desk so there isn't anything in the path up or down that could be damaged or cause damage to the desk itself.Still haven't set any presets because I've only had it about a week and just raise/lower it as needed and randomly stop it when I feel it is in a good place. I think someone else mentioned it giving out after too many ups and downs. I have pretty much just moved it a few times here and there and never multiple times in a short timeframe. The sound of the motor is relatively quiet and doesn't make any weird noises. I do like that it doesn't jerk or make an abrupt stop when I release the button. It kinda does what a soft close door would do.I initially added the side hooks because they're included, but quickly removed them because I don't have a need for them. You also can't choose the placement. The cable management tray doesn't do anything for me, but I'm keeping it attached just in case I decide to use it in the future. It's in the back and not in my way.The instructions call for an electric drill, but I never used it. Everything can be done with the allen keys provided and a screwdriver. The cable clips are doing the job for now, but I feel like I'm probably going to get some velcro for the power supply box because.....gravity!I think that covers everything. Fingers crossed, I can keep this desk long-term. Will update, if needed.
