Sturdy and easy to assemble
I was a bit hesitant to buy furniture online since returns can be tricky, but the great reviews for this item and Hawkins Woodshop convinced me to give it a try. I’m really pleased with my decision! It’s easier to put together with two people, especially when it comes to getting it upright. The assembly went pretty smoothly overall. The small screws were a bit fiddly, but nothing too crazy. Everything was packaged well and arrived without any damage. I’ve set it to three different heights: sitting, standing, and even standing while using a treadmill. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase!

It took me around two hours to put it together, but the instructions were clear, and there’s a video to help too. The desk is nice quality and functions great. I’d definitely recommend Hawkins Woodshop; I ran into no problems at all. It does have a slight wobble when fully extended, though I guess that’s pretty common with standing desks.

Best cup-holder ever!
I got the $300 L-shaped desk without extras, and I have to say it’s my favorite desk. It has a ton of space, even with my two monitors (32" and 42"). I could fit more if I needed to. The cable management is in a good spot, but I suggest using a surge protector with a long cord since it can be tight when you raise it. I’m 5'9" and don’t need to raise it all the way, but it’s handy to have the option. It looks nice with its carbon fiber finish, but the wood quality isn’t top-notch, though it’s decent enough for the price. I’ve seen worse for more money elsewhere. The cup-holder is fantastic, seriously the best I’ve ever used on a desk. I might stick with this desk just for that. The headphone holder is cool too; holds my Meta Quest 3 and my Arctis Pro Wireless nicely. The downsides? The instructions could be clearer. I’ve built furniture before, so I managed, but getting one of the lifting cylinders in was tricky and needed some force. I recommend having two people for the initial steps. A good manual screwdriver is a must, too, because power tools might damage the screws. Overall, I love the desk. 5 stars for that cup-holder and the desk itself!

Ich hatte ein paar Probleme mit dem Tisch, der anscheinend beim Transport beschädigt wurde, aber Colby hat alles schnell geklärt und mir sehr geholfen. Der Tisch sieht wirklich gut aus, aber ich habe einige Bedenken. Die Monitorhalterung ist wackelig und hält einfach nicht gut, nicht mal mit teuren Gasdruckfedern. Auch die Geräusche vom Hebemechanismus sind störend. Ersatzteile sind echt schwer zu bekommen, und man muss den Tisch sogar abbauen und zurückschicken. Insgesamt ist der Tisch nicht sehr stabil, was ihn für Gamer oder Streamer unbrauchbar macht, da selbst die Maus ein lautes Geräusch macht, wenn ich sie absetze.

Great Value for a Solid Desk
This is just what I wanted. A spacious L-shaped standing desk that’s well-made and budget-friendly. It’s best to assemble it in a mostly clear room since you’ll flip it upside down for most of the setup. The assembly instructions were pretty clear overall, but I suggest having a second person help for a faster build—I did it solo, and it was a bit tricky to flip the desk on my own. I did notice some minor damage on the underside corners during shipping, but it wasn’t noticeable and I didn’t want to wait for a replacement. I asked for a partial refund, and Colby’s customer service was straightforward and helpful. The desk has a nice oak finish with white legs, and the motors aren’t too loud when adjusting height. Just make sure you get the rods properly inserted during assembly; if not, one side might not lift correctly (that happened to me!). Overall, while there are fancier desks out there, the amount of workspace you get for the price is unbeatable. I’m really happy with the room I have now!

great desk for the price
I really love this desk! I went with the larger size, and the extra space is. It was pretty straightforward to assemble, though I did have a bit of trouble getting the screws into the bars—might just be because of the paint. I also wasn’t sure which way the metal square plates should go, so I had to look that up. Maybe they could improve the instructions a bit. Other than that, the motor is working fine!

Definitely a great standing desk
I've got to say, I initially rated this desk with three stars because I ran into some issues. But after reaching out to Colby and sharing some videos of the problem, they provided me with clear instructions on how to fix it. I ended up sending the desk back and got a replacement. Setting up the new one was a breeze since I knew exactly what to do this time. It took me a lot less time, and now the desk works perfectly. This is honestly one of the easiest standing desks to put together if you just follow the steps closely. While I was assembling it, I could see how well-thought-out the design is, from the hole placements to the bearings. I would definitely recommend this desk to anyone in the market for a standing desk. My only suggestion would be to make the power cord a bit longer, especially if you're not placing it against a wall. Other than that, I'm happy with it.

Nice desk but could be sturdier
I really like the desk overall, but with three monitors, it feels a bit wobbly. The top is on the thinner side and doesn’t feel completely sturdy. It’s a decent deal for what you pay, but I'd probably fork out a little extra for something that feels more solid.
