I have been wanting to try a standing desk but all the ones I seen were super expensive and I was concerned about spending too much on one to just not use it. I bought this on prime day and it also had a coupon so I got it for a good reasonable price where if I ended up not liking the standing part of it I didn't spend a lot of money to try it out. It's worth the full price in my opinion.Putting it together was really easy. You do need an wrench (adjustable or a set with the size needed) to put it together. It comes with an Allen wrench and a small screw driver but I ended up using a normal sized one I have at home. The motor comes attached and hooked up, all you need to do is plug it into the control box once you get it installed. I think it took me maybe 30 minutes to complete the setup.Sturdiness is there. I don't feel like it is wobbly at all and I adjust the desk up and down at least once during the day as I am not used to standing all day just yet and need to switch. I have 2 monitors, a laptop, keyboard, mouse and a docking station all on it and nothing shifts moving it up or down.Desktop is like any modern desk top that is on the cheaper end and made out of pressed wood. I personally don't have a problem with it and at this price point you can't expect it to be top quality oak anyway. It's a sturdy top and have not had any issues out of it. It holds everything I need it to hold with no issues and works perfectly.The controls are easy to use and has two memory settings that can easily be changed.Overall I recommend this to anyone wanting to try a standing desk.
