I spent a LONG time looking for a standing desk that I could afford. I really wanted one with drawers, which are rare in this price range. I am so glad I found this option- it is sturdy, works perfectly, and looks really nice! The wood finish looks professional and the size is perfect for my small office. The desk functions well, and I haven't had any issues with bringing it up/ down with weight on it (for reference, I keep a heavy water bottle, monitor, laptop, flower vase, and a smattering of dishes on my desk at all times). The only drawback was that it was a pain to assemble, and its really heavy so you pretty much need two people to get it together. But worth it for the final result!
