VIVOElectric 63 x 32 in Standing Desk, Memory Height Adjustment, 176 lb Frame Support, 2E Series, Black Top Black Frame, DESK-KIT-2E1B

Holy moly, is this a nice desk! The online picture really doesn't do it justice. I was pleasantly surprised at how sturdy it is. Looks good and I love that at the touch of a button, I can raise and lower it. Makes it so much easier to use it as a standing desk, then back to a regular one when I get tired of standing. Definitely one of my better purchases.

PHOTOSYeah, I need to do some cord management. Yeah, son's room is messy.LIKES1. Very solid desk.2. Very quiet and fast motor operation.3. Scratch-resistant surface.4. The memory features for sit and stand are nice and easy to operate. They will give my son a chance to stand and burn off some energy while remote learning by just pushing one button, ensuring ergonomic consistency.DISKLIKES1. Surface of desk is prone to fingerprints.2. [minor] While the three settings for height memory are nice, it would have been nicer to have four. Assuming the most common use cases are "sit" and "stand", the third setting seems like a third wheel on a hot date. Having four settings would have better accommodated two people's sit and stand preferences.3. The "screen saver" function is bit weird. After 90 seconds the control panelthat displays the height will instead show "---" (apparently the screensaver, like that's so much more efficient than showing the number) and not accept any input. In order to use the desk again you have to press "M" for three seconds. But then after 10 minutes the whole display shuts off and you have to press the display to turn it on. It is supposed to prevent accidental pressing of buttons, but that seems like an edge case to me and less-intuitive redundancy to the power-off feature.SHIPPINGFor me the desk came in two different boxes which wasn't indicated in the tracking. One box contained the three paneled top, which I received first. Then a few days later the motorized stand came. The boxes were in bad shape, but all of the parts were there and the pieces were well-packaged.ASSEMBLYAssembly was fairly straight-forward. But here are a few things to look out for:1. When assembling the motorized stand you have to adjust the width to match the top in one of the early steps; however at that stage you don't know what exact width it needs to be to align with the holes on the top. So I recommend not tightening the slider part until the end after you put the top on so you can finely adjust the underlying frame's width to align with the top's screw holes. So for me I finely adjusted the width after putting the top on and tightened the slider. Then I installed the variable-length metal rod for the motor last.2. There were no instructions for the top, but it wasn't too hard to figure out. Line up the three panels on the floor upside down (screw holes showing) with the rectangular piece in the middle and all cord-management holes aligned. Then you'll see that the two supplied bars lay across all three panels and align with the holes.3. Before putting on the top, the instructions say to put these sticky pads with holes in them over the frame screw holes for padding. However, those white pads were thick and once the top was on the screws to screw from the frame into the top weren't long enough to get a bite with that pad in-between. Removing the pads with great vengeance and furious anger caused the screws to then go in quite easily.4. The control panel (where you push the buttons up and down) has two holes to secure it to the underside of the desk. However, the hole pattern under the desk didn't match the hole pattern for the control panel. So you can utilize one of the desktop holes in the pattern for an easy screw-in. For the other hole you'll have to use one of the supplied pointy screws to drill into the underside of the desk. If you don't have a drill then your options are more limited. But I think a piece of 3M double-sided stick pad or double sided tape would work just fine. It's light.

I almost never write reviews, but I've had this product as my primary desk for almost two years now, and I am extremely happy with my purchase. This desk is well worth the money, and I do not see myself buying a new desk for at least a few years.Pros:- Very sturdy/reliable. Even though the top of the desk comes split in thirds, I have had no problems with it structurally at all. The bar mounted underneath is more than enough to prevent flexing (I haven't experienced any). It made the shipping box much smaller and the instructions are very easy to follow. Like I mentioned, I've had this desk for two years, and I feel like it could last another 5-10 without any problems.- Thick enough. About 6 months after buying this desk, I decided I had looked at the giant mess of wires hanging down from the back of the desk one too many times and purchased 2 "VIVO Under Desk 17 inch Cable Management Tray" to try to remedy the situation. Even though the desk is quite thin, I still managed to mount them both of the back of the desk, and have been very happy with that decision. They hold everything I need, which is one 8-plug power strip and 3 power adapters, plus whatever slack on the wires I need to store. If you do this, make sure to buy the appropriate length screws; the screws I bought were too long, so I had to stuff some cardboard in between the trays and the desk to reduce slack (I haven't had any issues with this though).- Height. I am 6'2", and at the full height the desk is just right. I imagine if I was one or two inches taller it would still be very comfortable. Anyone taller than that might want to consider a desk with a bit more height. Though I should mention than when sitting I do use it at the lowest setting, so I could definitely see it being a bit too tall if you are really short depending on the chair you're using (mine is 20").Cons:- The touch panel. This is by far my least favorite thing about this desk. The touch part of the panel is very poor, and whenever I want to interact with the desk, I have to press my finger to whatever button I want to use for at least 3-4 seconds before it registers and starts doing something. I have also accidentally set the timer before, which usually startles me 30 or so minutes later when it goes off (who wants a timer on their desk when we all have phones???). Additionally when it is visually off (i.e. when nothing is displayed), you need to touch it once and wait for it to turn on, and then touch it again to press a button. Overall I would much prefer real buttons, or at least a better touchscreen. This is the only reason I rated this desk 4 stars instead of 5.- Looks. The separation between the three desk pieces is extremely noticeable, and I would say that the material in general looks fairly cheap, especially compared to desks that are built to have more of a wood finish. This is not something I really care about, and it didn't factor into my rating, but it is worth knowing if you're thinking about buying this desk.- The curve. This also isn't that big of a deal, but overall I have found that it does more harm than good, particularly when trying to buy a large mouse pad to put on the desk. Any large mouse pad you buy (more than ~8in wide) will have to be positioned at an angle. I would prefer that this desk was perfectly square, but this is a very minor annoyance.

This a great desk for the price. Alot longer than my last desk, and that is really useful. The top comes in three pieces. I thought that might be an issue for daily work, but its not noticeable at all. Its a really well built desk, and was well engineered/manufactured. Instructions were super easy and clear. Make sure you keep the rubber grommets on the rails, or the screws would probably go through the top. Also, make sure that you wait to tighten the uprights and motor rod until you have the desk attached. Its adjustable.
