After 6+ Months
Used as a secondary writing desk for 14 months. Single motor is noticeably slower; some lateral wobble at full extension. Fine for someone who stands 1-2x per day, not someone cycling 8x.
Why this desk
Pick this if standing desk is a 'nice-to-have' rather than a daily driver. The 154 lb capacity rules out heavy multi-monitor setups.
