I was very nervous ordering this desk from Amazon. The price was very low, and I've had my fair share of poor quality items show up on my front door step when I was trying to save a few bucks.I recently transitioned to a work from home job, and quickly realized that I needed a better home office solution than my trash picked desk and kitchen chair. I wanted a desk that had the ability to go up and down, and I wanted a nice office chair that wouldn't hurt my back. I was approved for $500 through my work to redo my at home office, and ended up blowing most of it on an office chair. So my budget was low...So what makes this desk worthy of 5 stars?The mechanical gear that raise and lowers the desk is very smooth and capable of slight adjustments. The turn crank is also not difficult at all to crank. I opted for the mechanical turn crank for cost saving reasons as well as hoping it would be easier to replace when/ if it failed. I used to have an electric one in the office, and I'm perfectly happy with my decision to go with the mechanical crank. I don't think I'm missing out on anything.The material for the desk top was perfectly fine. It looks very nice, and doesn't feel flimsy.I'm honestly pleasantly surprised by the build quality for the base of the desk. It is very sturdy feeling and holds up the desk well. There are even adjustments on the bottom of the desk that allow for leveling the desk.The wireless charger was not something I expected nor needed, but it works very nicely! What a nice added bonus.Assembling it took about an hour and a half. So be sure you're ready/ able / interested in taking that time to piece it together. I will say that if it had just been me trying to get the unassembled desk from the front porch to my office, I woulda been a bit stuck. The box was heavyyyy.Overall, if you're looking for an inexpensive sit/ stand desk, and can't buy used for whatever reason, I highly recommend this one!
