Solid and easy to assemble
I was a bit hesitant to buy this because I usually avoid ordering furniture online, but the positive reviews for Hawkins Woodshop convinced me. I'm glad I took the chance! It went together pretty easily, especially with two people to help, but those tiny wood screws were a bit tricky to deal with. Everything was packed really well, and all the pieces arrived in condition. I set it up for three different heights: sitting, standing, and even while using a treadmill. Overall, I'm quite happy with my purchase!

Best cup-holder ever and a solid desk!
I got the basic L-shaped desk for $300, and it's definitely my favorite desk. There's enough room for 3-4 monitors—I'm using a 32" and a 42" and still have space for my computer. The cable management is good, but I’d suggest a long surge protector because it’s a bit tight when you raise it. I'm 5'9", so I don’t need to lift it all the way up, but it works well. It looks nice with a carbon fiber finish, though the wood isn't top-notch but decent for the price. The cup-holder is —best I've seen on a desk! I might not get another desk just because of that. The headphone holder is useful too; I keep my Meta Quest 3 and Arctis Pro there, and they stay put when I adjust the height. Directions could be clearer; I’ve built furniture before, so I managed, but it took some extra time to get the lifting cylinders in. I'd recommend having a second person help at first to keep things steady. Use a hand screwdriver; the screws might get damaged if you use power tools. Overall, I love the desk and that cup-holder—5 stars!

Great Desk for the Price!
This is just what I needed. I wanted a big L-shaped standing desk that was sturdy, functional, and didn’t cost a fortune. It's definitely easier to put together in a mostly cleared room since you'll be assembling it with the desktop facing down. The instructions were mostly clear, but I’d suggest having at least one more person to help speed things up—doing it solo was a bit tricky, especially flipping the desk over. There were some minor damage on the corners during shipping, but it’s not noticeable. I reached out to Hawkins Woodshop for a partial refund, and Colby was helpful and straightforward about it. The desk looks great with its oak finish and white legs, and the motors aren't too noisy. Just make sure to get the rods fully inserted when putting it together—learned that the hard way! Overall, there are fancier desks out there, but you can’t beat the space and quality for the price. I've got plenty of room to work!

great desk for the price
I'm really happy with this desk! I went for the larger size, and the extra space is for me. It was pretty easy to put together, although I had a bit of trouble getting the screws into the bars, probably because of the paint. Also, the instructions could use a bit of clarification on which way the metal square plates go; I ended up searching for that. But the motor works well and I'm loving it overall!

Solid quality and easy to follow instructions.
It took me around 2 hours to put it together, but the instructions were clear and easy to understand. There's also a helpful video guide. The desk itself is solid and functions great. I definitely recommend Hawkins Woodshop; everything went smoothly for me. There's a slight wobble when fully extended, but I imagine that's common with standing desks.

Schöner Tisch mit ein paar Problemen
Ich habe den Tisch bekommen und musste einiges klären, aber Colby war super hilfreich dabei! Der Tisch sieht echt gut aus, aber ich habe ein paar Probleme festgestellt. Die Monitorhalterung wackelt ziemlich und selbst die besten Gasdruckfedern können das dünne Brett nicht halten. Auch die Geräusche vom Hebemechanismus sind nervig, da man keine Ersatzteile bekommt und den Tisch auseinanderbauen und zurückschicken soll. Außerdem steht der Tisch nicht wirklich stabil, was für Gamer oder Streamer nicht ideal ist. Sogar die Maus macht ein lautes Geräusch, wenn man sie absetzt.

Great standing desk after some help
I initially rated this desk 3 stars due to some issues, but after working with Colby and showing him some videos of the problems I faced, he helped me troubleshoot and even provided extra instructions. I ended up sending the desk back and got a replacement. The assembly was much quicker this time since I knew the best way to do it. This desk is one of the easiest standing desks to put together if you stick to the instructions. I really appreciated the thoughtful design; everything from the hole placements to the bearings was clearly well planned. I recommend this desk if you want a standing option. Just a heads up—the power cord could be a bit longer. If it's not right next to an outlet, the height adjustment feature isn't all that useful. Aside from the cord, I’m happy with this desk.

I really like the desk, but with my triple monitor setup, it feels a bit too much for it. The structure is a little shaky, and the top is thinner than I expected, not quite as sturdy. For the price, it’s decent, but I might consider spending a bit more for something more stable.

I bought the base version of this L-shaped desk for $300, and it's my favorite desk so far. It has enough space for 3-4 monitors—I have two big ones (32" and 42") and there's still room for my computer. The cable management spot is handy, but I recommend getting a surge protector with a long cord since it can feel tight when you raise the desk all the way. I'm 5'9" and don't need to raise it all the way up. The desk looks nice with a carbon fiber finish, and while the wood quality isn’t top-notch, it’s decent for the price. I’ve seen worse at Costco for much more. The cup-holder is great—definitely the best I've seen on any desk. I'm honestly so happy with it that I might not buy another desk just because of this cup-holder. The headphone holder works well for my Meta Quest 3 and Arctis Pro, stays secure when the desk moves. On the downside, the assembly instructions could be better. I’ve built a lot of furniture, so I managed, but I had to double-check a few parts to get them lined up right. One of the lifting cylinders was tough to install; it was a bit too large, but I got it in with some effort. I’d suggest having two people at the start for balance; I did it alone, which was a challenge. You’ll need a good hand screwdriver since power tools might damage the screws. Overall, I like the desk, and that cup-holder is a game-changer!

Great desk
Good desk overall. It took a little while to assemble, but we were happy with how it turned out. It's sturdy and looks nice. The motor operates quietly when you raise and lower it. I'm pleased with the desk and the value.
