Great work surface!
This is my husband's review: He reached out to Colby on January 26, 2024, with some feedback about sharp edges on the panel joints, suggesting a full-length joining channel for safety and additional support, especially in the middle. He noted that thicker screws might help with stability but overall found the desk very nice and quiet for the price. Putting it together was pretty straightforward; the only tricky part was adjusting the leg width and drive rod at the same time. If you're handy, you can likely have it assembled in under two hours. A cordless drill can make it easier. All you need is a #2 Phillips and an Allen wrench—no extra tools required, which was a plus. The instructions were great, making the assembly a breeze since the motor is already set up. The height adjustments are surprisingly quiet and smooth, with four programmable buttons plus a manual option. The lowest height works for standard desk use, but if you need your arms higher, you might want an under-desk keyboard tray. The frame is heavy enough to keep everything stable, which was a problem with my old desk. The desktop can hold some weight underneath, so just be careful with screw lengths so they don't poke through the top. I got the 32"x63" version, but now I’m thinking a longer one might have been better. Anyway, just make sure you plan out your cable management carefully and be aware of the space under the desk when using it, especially with kids and pets around.

Solid Desk That Checks All the Boxes
I picked up this desk in black and I'm pretty happy with it. I wasn't after anything too fancy, but it fits all my needs just right. 1. The tabletop is solid. The 48x30 inch black top is one piece and 1” thick. It looks and feels sturdy, and I’d definitely call it sturdy. 2. It has a good weight capacity. I found it hard to find desks that can handle more than 176 pounds, which seems to be the norm. I wanted something that wouldn’t flex too much with weight, and this one held up well when I leaned on it. It’s quiet too, which is a nice bonus. 3. Cable management is decent. It doesn't come with a fancy built-in cable system like those pricey high-end desks, but they offer attachments like a tray for a power strip and a magnetic cable concealer. I might skip the tray since I use a bigger UPS, but the magnetic concealer works well and keeps everything tidy. Each accessory was under $20. 4. Price-wise, I wanted to keep it budget-friendly. I considered a more expensive model but this one is great for what I need. I don’t have plans to use it at its tallest height, just at a comfortable level for gaming. The assembly went smoothly for me. I didn’t have any issues adjusting it on my own, and the instructions were clear. The desk arrived in condition, which was since dealing with a damaged top would’ve been frustrating. All in all, I’m pleased with this desk. I think it’s a solid choice if you’re in the market for something reliable. Happy with my purchase!

Good Adjustable Desk
I’m really impressed with this desk. It feels solid and the price is fair. Putting it together was a breeze for one person, but having someone assist would make it even easier. I love that I can adjust the height easily to find the most comfortable position for working.

Just buy it!!!
I don’t usually leave reviews, but I feel like this desk deserves one. It really surprised me in a good way. First off, shipping was quick; I had my desk in just 2 business days. The price is also reasonable compared to others out there. The quality is outstanding! It’s pretty heavy—I'd suggest having a buddy help with assembly, but I managed to do it solo, which just took a bit longer. It feels solid. There’s plenty of space and it’s ergonomic. You can adjust the height, even if you have a less-than-great chair. The assembly instructions were pretty clear, but I do wish the parts were labeled. It can get tricky looking for the right piece since some of them look similar. Minor issue though. Overall, I’d rate it 5/5. This desk is a long-term investment and I can see it lasting for many years!

I wish I could give this a 4.5, but I'm bumping it to a 5 because my only real complaint is like others have mentioned—the pieces aren't labeled. Only the screws and tools have some labels, which made assembly a bit tricky as I had to make sure everything matched the pictures. Once I figured that out, though, putting it together was pretty straightforward. I did it solo in under an hour, but I did spend some time matching things up. The desk looks great with the dark gray wood top and feels really smooth. I'm planning to get a large mouse pad since the top is divided into three sections, but that hasn't been an issue for me while using the mouse—just a comfort preference. Overall, this desk is sturdy. Yes, it wobbles a bit if you push on it, but who pushes their desk that often? Even when fully extended to the max height, it's still solid. I have a 34" ultra-wide LG monitor on it, and I can see it shift slightly if I lean on the desk, but it’s not something I worry about. Also, the motor operates quietly and raises or lowers at a good speed. Sure, some folks comment on that, but honestly, how often do you need to adjust it? Even if you do it several times a day, it's not a deal-breaker. I took my time deciding on this desk, but I'm happy with my choice and feel like I got a great deal on it during Black Friday.

Wow, I was really impressed! The delivery was two days earlier than expected! It comes in two boxes, which makes it easier to handle. My friend and I put the frame together, and while it was pretty straightforward, you'll need some muscle because the parts are heavy. After that, we added the wood top, which looks great and feels solid. I appreciate the adjustable feet for uneven floors, too. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase!

Adjustable desk
I really like this desk! I opted for the largest size, which might be a bit too big, but it gives me tons of room to work. It does take two people to put together, and while it’s on the heavy side, it feels solid and functions just as it should. I've been using it for about 6 months now and haven't had any problems. Highly recommend!

Quiet motor, great design, but stability could be better
I really like how the desk looks and it feels well-made overall. The motor is quiet, way quieter than I thought it would be, which makes height adjustments easy and smooth. Putting it together was a breeze, and the instructions were straightforward, so I had it set up in no time. My only issue is with its stability. When the desk is all the way up, it feels a bit wobbly and not as solid as I wanted it to be. It still works fine, but you can feel it moving around. Also, the desktop had a few cosmetic scratches from shipping, which was a letdown, but it wasn't Hawkins Woodshop's fault. Their support team resolved it quickly and professionally, which is why I’m giving them five stars for service. All in all, I’m pleased with my purchase. If it were more stable at full height, it would be five stars.

Awesome Desk for the Price
I've been using the VIVO Electric 60 x 30 in Standing Desk for about a month now, and it’s been great! Setting it up was pretty straightforward, but having someone help made it easier. This desk has a lot of space and fits really well in my room. I appreciate that it has different size options to suit various spaces. Overall, it feels pretty solid, although it does get a bit shaky when raised higher, especially if you lean on it. I have a couple of minor issues: some tabletop sizes come in sections instead of one solid piece, and the metal braces connecting those sections can get in the way sometimes, so I’ve bumped my knees on them a few times. Despite these small annoyances, I'm pleased with it. The controls are easy to use, and I love the preset height options. Plus, the height display is handy!
