One 5-star Amazon reviewer writes, “I was on the fence about buying a desk for almost $1000, but I’m really glad I made this purchase…this desk is very sturdy and the height adjustment feature works very well. The motors are decently quiet and have no issues moving up the desk up and down. After setting the max high and max low limits, I don’t have to worry about the desk pulling cables out of the wall by accident.”

The wireless charger works well and helps eliminate the numerous cords typically cluttering a work desk…I highly recommend this desk to anyone who can get past the sticker price.”
