Sturdy, reasonable price but know the limitations before you buy
I needed an inexpensive, small stand-up desk option and this does the job. The desk is lightweight, but it's sturdier than I expected. I'm 6' 3" tall and using it with a 27" iMac and it's "Almost" tall enough for me; the higher shelf goes up to about 44" from the floor and I'll probably end up putting a 2" riser under the Mac to get it up to proper height (top of display at eye level). When I first set it up I put a smaller 21" display on it and that would require more like 7" additional lift, so keep in mind that 44" max height plus the height of your display if you want a good stand-up desk combo. This would not be suitable if I did not have as large a computer as I do.I wish it had a CPU shelf (for my battery backup) but that's pretty minor. I could make one, but I probably won't.Keyboard height is good for me, I have the keyboard shelf at 39" and it has another couple inches it could go up.Four stars for price and sturdiness, but be aware of its limitations.Pros: Price, Sturdy, Independently adjustable display & keyboard shelf heightsCons: Max display shelf height 44", no CPU shelf, small caster wheels. Instructions are poor/sparse but if you're mechanically inclined it's not rocket science to assemble.

Exactly what I needed! Smooth rolling and sturdy.
This is exactly what I needed in my classroom! I use it with my document camera, I use it with my MacBook Pro, I even use the angled section as a drafting board with a T square! The desk is VERY sturdy and rolls easily on carpet and solid surface. On carpet I don't even need to use the wheel locks. The desk is easy to adjust and stays in place. Both sides go up and down, and one can be positioned on an angle and has a strip of material to keep materials from sliding off. When angled, the surface will move if too much pressure is applied.I use it very much like the company photo shows, half flat/half slanted. On the slanted side I will place a book or documents to show using a document camera, then turn it around easily and have my laptop on the horizontal surface. I also have a power strip that bends around the 2 crossbars (you can see it if you look carefully at photos 8 & 9) so I can keep my laptop and iPad charged.It's great that it works well standing (it goes high enough for someone over 6 feet tall to be comfortable) for short, medium, and tall. It works great while sitting too.

This has possibilities
Wow, this desk has potential. You can use it sitting down, too. Oh wow, they send you a screwdriver to use. DON'T USE IT. It's flimsy. Use your own.One of my concerns is that I think they should use longer screws in some of the places. To me, if I followed the directions correctly, the screw, after it went through the layers it had to go through, barely made three turns in the receptacle. You have to be careful sorting the screws. They are like.... 1.5 cm, 2.5 cm, 3.5 cm, 4.5 cm, barely a noticeable difference from one to the other. Ok, there is a noticeable difference between the longest and the shortest.... but from one to another, barely noticeable. Oh yeah, they give you an extra in each in case you mess up.I was able to follow the assembly directions. One of my "adjusting knobs" (what you use to adjust the height) now is at a point where it will not UNSCREW. I think it became loose from the screw it's glued to. The vendor very quickly sent me a replacement knob. They offered to send an entire part but I decided I had a way to get the knob out so I just took a replacement knob, which came very quickly.If you have hardwood floors, HIGHLY RECOMMEND you get a memory foam or similar rug to stand on.I would have like an option for black instead of white, but this still woks in my home office.

I LOVE this standing desk for art! But can I get a bigger one?!
Let me start by saying, I'm in love with this desk!I was looking for a standing desk that I could draw at and use my computer at. This desk fits the bill perfectly.The design is genius- The back panel is flat, so I can set my lamp, speaker, and tea up there. The front panel tilts, so I can draw on it like an easel.When I'm drawing, I adjust the height of the front panel often, moving it up or down a bit to suit my project. It's really easy to adjust! Just hold the front panel with one hand, unscrew the knobs with the other hand, adjust the height, and screw the knobs back in. I haven't had any problem with it shifting, even though I tend to lean on it when I draw.I love this desk, but it isn't perfect.First, my boyfriend set it up for me, and he claims the instructions weren't exactly easy to follow.Second, one of the parts for the desk came broken. It wasn't a major problem. When I emailed SDADI, they got back to me the same day with a professional and apologetic email, and sent me two free replacement parts! The customer service is excellent.Third, and most importantly, the desk isn't very big. I knew that when I decided to purchase it. I debated about whether it would be big enough, and in the end decided the pros outweigh the cons. This desk is an excellent size for a dorm, or to be used solely as a drawing/computer desk. But I wanted this to be my only desk. But alas, it's a bit small.In the picture I uploaded, you can see what a standard piece of printer paper looks like on the desk. See how it hangs off the edge just a little? It's not terrible, just a little annoying. If the front panel was an inch longer, it would be so much better. If it was three inches longer, I'd be ecstatic.SDADI, the design of this desk is brilliant! But could you make this same desk with larger dimensions? This desk is 23.6 x 23.6 inches. If it was 26 inches by 30 inches, it would be perfect!
