I believe you generally get what you pay for, so while I am spending over $200 on a work desk, I am not expecting furniture I am going to hand down to my children. With that said. - This is a great desk. Heavy, and feels like it can support a ton of weight. Was easy to assemble, but take you time, if you rush you might flip flop two items and then have to start that section over. There is a very slight shake if you lean heavy on the desk, but I was expecting way more. The motor is quiet, and the controls allow for 4 different preset height's. No need for a mouse pad with the textured mid-surface. Looks very expensive.
