This is a really nice standing desk. I wanted something with a sort of writing desk on the left since I am left handed.It works like a charm. The box is pretty heavy so you might need to have help getting it inside, but if you just open the top side of the box and it's laid out for easy assembly. One of my favorite parts of this assembly is that it comes together as you pull stuff out of the box.From the instructions this thing will life about 160 pounds, however, I don't know if that's true. I have a laptop, some papers and notebooks and a 24" monitor on mine, and while it moves smoothly, I don't know if I could get another monitor in it and feel good about that movement. That concern is based on the sound during a lift to standing, rather than anything else. It probably would be fine, but come on if you have over 160 pounds of stuff on your desk, you might need to reorganize some stuff.I like this desk, it's sturdy, it's comfortable, and it's one of the least expensive.
