I was a little skeptical but for the price I figured I'd try it.The packaging was maybe the best I've seen for a piece of furniture. IKEA could learn a lot. Thick double-walled cardboard, honeycomb cardboard, high-density foam on the corners. This could have take quite a beating without damaging the desk. The assembly instructions were pretty clear but it is a good bit of work to get together.It's surprisingly heavy which keeps it very stable even when raised to the tallest height. I got the smallest model so the larger ones are probably even more stable. I've got a 27" Dell monitor, microphone arm, speakers, laptop, and too much junk on it most of the time and it's been very stable.It was very easy to zip-tie a power strip to the crossbar under the desk surface. The cable routing holes are nice enough but I kind of wish I had one dead-center too. One of the things I really liked about it is that it has no crossbar where my feet go, giving me plenty of leg room.The desk top has held up to a few "dings" from my chair and other stuff with no wear. No issues with light water on the desk top but I wouldn't soak it.Things I don't love about it: The two-part desktop leaves a slightly annoying little gap line. Not much you can do about that without doubling the package size. The power supply sits low enough to hit my chair arm when I push the chair under. I may try to re-mount it further back away from the chair. I mostly raise the desk another inch or so or push the chair off-center to avoid this. The black surface shows a lot of fingerprints and dust - another color would hide those.
