It was a fairly easy assembly, took about 20 minutes.The table top comes in four parts, meaning there are three large seams when assembled. This doesn't bother me as I use a large mousepad to cover the top. It was really hard to narrow down my choice of a desk because I needed something long and the 71" is perfect and at a much better price than other competitors.The standing feature allows you to set 3 different custom heights and is super quiet. I love how quiet it is when going up or down and it even shocked my family when they heard it too.Do be warned that it does slightly tip/rock when you are leaning on the front edge, but this isn't so much of a bother for me as it is really sturdy still and nothing on my desk has fallen over. I keep my PC, my ultrawide monitor and second monitor on the table top and nothing falls and the lift system has no issues with the weight.Overall, the color is gorgeous, the standing feature is exactly what I was looking for, and the size is wonderful. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a budget standing desk that doesn't sacrifice style or make loud noises when moving.
