ErGear Electric Standing Desk with Full Size Keyboard Tray, Adjustable Height Sit Stand Up Desk, Home Office Desk Computer Workstation, 48x24 Inches, Black

The desk is great. But I'm not here to talk about that.I'm here to talk about the packaging. A week after receiving the shipment, assemlbing the desk (which I am very pleased with all around), and using it every day since, I still can't stop thinking about how amazing the packaging was. Remember those cannisters from the movie The Rock that were filled with the highly toxic and very fragile green balls of death? If for some reason I had to ship one of those things, I would be contacting ErGear to figure out how to do it. I have experience in engineering, and I work in manufacturing - and I can undoubtedly say that this packaging was designed by a team of packaging engineers. Every cubic inch of space in the box was used to its utmost potential. When you first receive the box, you notice that the outside corners are reinforced to protect from shipping damage. Upon opening the box, you'll notice that each component is enshrouded in custom cut sheets of soft shock absorbing foam. Nothing moves around, and everything is extremely well protected. When you pull out the pieces to the desk top itself - which appear to be a veneered pressboard (and I expected that, but these appear to be great quality) - not only are they secured tightly together and separated with more foam sheets to prevent scratching, the corners of the wood pieces are further reinforced with protectors. But these protective corners aren't just some cheap corrugated cardboard corners that really only serve to give you a little extra peace of mind - oh no - they are 1/8" ribbed rubber! They are so nice, that I couldn't bring myself to throw them away. I don't know what I'm going to do with them, but they could be repurposed for so many other things. I also saved a single corrugated sheet of cardboard that was used as a spacer/protector because it's so high quality. That one piece of cardboard alone cost over $1 - which is a lot in the manufacturing world. All the other packaging components appear to be readily recycblable as well. When you consider the price point of this desk, and you take into account that the packaging alone costs the manufacturer probably around $15, the value for this purchase becomes even more impressive, particularly given that what you received arrives as if it was fresh off the assembling line (so to speak).A few folks have left negative reviews here and there about certain components arriving damaged. Look, nothing is perfect, even with this level of packaging. It's the nature of the beast when you're getting single items shipped directly to your door. It'll happen from time to time, and I'm sorry you drew the short straw. Not having been in touch with ErGear myself, I nonetheless have no doubt in my mind that they happily replaced your purchase with a new one - no one goes through this amount of effort to ensure you receive a pristine shipment, only to turn around with subpar customer service and deny you support. It is very clear that ErGear WANTS you to be happy. And for my part, I very much am.Back to the desk. The assembly instructions are excellent. IKEA can certainly learn a thing or two from whoever put this together. The asembly itself was simple and, dare I say it, even a little fun. Again, the engineer in me also appreciates the thoughtfullness of design choices when it comes to how each component is assembled. They really did an excellent job here. The manufacturing of each component was also done with some impressively tight tolerances (given the price point), and so everything lines up perfectly and fits like a glove. Fully assembled, the desk is wonderful. I love this thing. It's everything that was advertised and more. They've even given thought to cable management. The desk raises and lowers smoothly and quietly, and I have no doubt that I will be enjoying it for years to come.A few last comments about some other negative reviews. You broke your keyboard tray? That's... kinda your fault. The desk wobbles *very* slightly when it's raised all the way up? This is standard stuff when it comes to knowing what you're getting yourself into. Buyer beware and all that. I paid under $200 for a desk that FAR exceeded my expectations. It's not a 250 lb behemoth made of solid oak that will last me a lifetime. Know what you're getting yourself into, and treat it accordingly. If you use the desk as a normal desk and don't *misuse* it, you will be very satisfied with your purchase.Highly recommended. Bravo ErGear. You have made a new raving fan out of me.

12/2024 update: I have now been using it for almost a year. Still raise it at least once every time I use it (still working from home a minimum of 3 days each week). Desk still raises and lowers with no issues <knocking on wood again>.Update: I have now been using this desk for a few months and am still very happy with it! I work from home 3 days a week (or more occasionally) and raise and lower it AT LEAST once a day, but many times it's more often. No issues at all so far <knock on wood>.I bought this as a Christmas present for myself because I get antsy sitting for long periods.I found the instructions to be easy to follow between the diagrams and words (just words and I get lost easily. I need the pictures/diagrams, too).It has you assemble it upside down, and I had no problem flipping it over and moving it to where I wanted it on my own.The motor (or mechanism to raise/lower it...whatever it is called) has worked well the number of times I've adjusted the height so far. It is quiet and smooth. I like that you can save different heights and just push a button to move it accordingly.I also like the way it looks. It is fairly sturdy. A little wobbly if you lean on it too much when it is raised, but that makes sense.The only thing that kind of (very miniscule kind of) wish it had is a way to lock the keyboard tray open. I sometimes find it sliding back closed when I am typing (guess I need to type with less gusto. Lol). But, that being said, it does stay in whatever position you put it in and doesn't slide open or closed on it's own.Overall I am very happy with this desk!! Pic included, but don't mind the mess of wires behind it. I still need to tidy that up. :)

*UPDATED REVIEW*:It’s been over a year and this desk is still working great! I added mounts for my monitors, so it looks much better now… still cluttered with knickknacks, but that’s kind of my jam. The motor still works as it should. This is the best desk I’ve ever used, from the office to home offices.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I work from home 85%-90% of the time. My old setup was a wobbly 25 year old container store desk with a manual standing desk topper that I’d used since the beginning of the pandemic. It was a pain in the neck, and it was time for a glow up.This desk is it! I love it so much. The motor is quiet and works perfectly, and as you can see it holds plenty of stuff. I purchased the 55x28 inch size, which fits my laptop, one or two monitors, monitor risers, a HomePod, and plenty of decorations and odds and ends.The keyboard tray does not lock, but it doesn’t push in too easily, either. The details say that the desk itself can hold up to 176 lbs, and the keyboard tray can hold up to 22 lbs, and I believe it.The desk only wobbles ever so slightly if I really push on it— more than likely that’s because it’s on thick carpet. Other than that it’s super sturdy!The packaging was fantastic. I think the box that was delivered was 60-70 lbs, but FedEx brought it straight to my front door of my apartment (thank you!!).It has two hooks, one on either end of the desk. I use one for my work bag that weighs like 10-15 lbs, so it’s very strong.My boyfriend was able to assemble this desk start to finish in just over an hour by himself. I have a feeling I would’ve easily been able to do it myself, but it would’ve taken longer.I think the desk is a decent price for what you get. I love the simplicity of the desk. The keyboard tray was the major reason I bought it, and the fact that it was 28 inches across, not just 24 inches like other desks.Thank you, ErGear and Amazon— I really love it.

I purchased this desk for a home office desk that allows me to sit or stand. This desk is very adjustable from a height perspective. The model I purchased was 55" X 28". As you can see from one of my pictures it has plenty of room for 2 monitors, a docking station, a laptop, and has plenty of extra room for note taking.The desk is spacious and the motor isn't very loud at all. I like that. The desk is a bit wobbly at the highest level but that is to be expected. I don't notice it wobbling when I type only when I'm leaning on it or writing. Most of the time I'm typing so it's no issue for me.Putting the desk together wasn't bad. It had all the parts and the instructions were pretty good. I did have two issues I wanted to make note of to potentially help others. In constructing the keyboard tray the slider was installed backwards on one side of the tray. As you can see in the picture the metal stop should be on the outside of the tray. Mine came reversed. I saw this and had to take it off and turn it 180 degrees then it worked just fine. I imagine this could be confusing to some. Also when putting the desk together it tells you to level the desk by installing the transmission rod and turning it to get both legs to be the same height. if you don't leave the transmission rod in, and secure it after they are the same height the leg will go down again. I was taking out the transmission rod thinking it would maintain it's height. I did use a tape measure as they suggested, but I found using a level actually worked better and enabled me to get it the same height and be level. Just adjust the height and then connect the transmission rod to the right leg and you should be fine. The only other thing I would say about assembly is they say you can use a screwdriver or a drill. If you are going to use a drill make sure you have tension control. This is pressboard with pre-drilled holes. If you use a power drill without tension control you will probably strip out the wood. There are a few places where it's too tight to use a drill unless you have a bit extender. Overall assembly wasn't bad.I've only had this item a week. I will update this review once I've used it longer.Pros - light, good value for the money, stable, great adjustability, nice surface area. quiet.Cons - pressboard is kind of cheap, you have to be careful when constructing the item, some items came assembled incorrectly, a little wobbly at max height.

I purchased this desk back in September 2025, so a sufficient amount of time has passed to write an honest review. Love this desk! My workspace is a bit limited, so I needed a desk that was a bit smaller than the standard/normal desks, which was actually pretty hard to find. Luckily I found this desk on Amazon. Assembly was pretty easy- parts are all numbered and smaller hardware is all in bags and numbered/lettered. I was surprised by the quality, which is actually pretty good considering the low price. Desk is sturdy, and I have not had any issues with the motor so far - desk goes up and down with no problems. Just be sure you have a long enough cable for the monitor to plug into the power strip as the desk raises pretty high. Also love the pull out tray for the keyboard - also a little harder to find. Plenty of space for a keyboard and mouse pad. I included a couple of photos that show the length and width of the desktop when assembled.I would recommend this desk to anyone with a limited workspace that's looking for a standup desk. Great product!

This product is packed for shipping. There are corner block to keep the desk edges crisp, no crushed corners. There is enough padding and cut=outs that keep the pieces from getting marred. The instructions are very good and easy to follow. I didn't have any problems putting this together. Until that is after it was all together, I had to have a bit of help putting it upright. It's a bit heavy to handle by myself.The quality is good. I like the wood grain look, it gives the feel of real wood that has been milled. I got the long and wide desk and find that I have so much room, I feel more organized simply because everything can be a bit more spread out. I like the length of the keyboard drawer, I just wish it was a bit wider my ergonomic keyboard does not really fit well, but I've made it work.The presets for height are almost perfect, but it's easy to reprogram, just hold the button down like you do on your car radio. Simple. The motor is quiet.After working from home for 23 years, I'm still getting used to the standing option. The instructions didn't say to ease yourself into standing so the first full day, I stood for over 5 hours. The next day, I ached everywhere. My legs, arms, back. It really showed me how harmful sitting can be. I'm used to standing now and love it. Working and dancing to the music is great. I'm actually a bit more productive standing than sitting.

The desk top is great but the keyboard drawer already came off its tracks and then broke off entirely. I thought the desk was sturdy but that drawer that is poorly designed and cheaply made. The drawer slide hardware is cheap!

The directions to assemble this desk were the best I have ever encountered. Normally I really struggle with assembly instructions, but these were awesome. The desk works as advertised.

Superb. Real quality product.

Erwartungen wurden erfüllt. Funktionen einwandfrei!

What can I say?! It’s well packaged. You have to give it to those who made it. As someone who’s worked in construction and understands what goes into fabrication and putting stuffs like this together, I can tell you that this was well made.Exactly what I needed and it works perfectly for me. It looks great, works perfectly. Instruction manual helps to set it up. Took roughly 30 minutes with only me setting it up.The height adjustment was easy to programme and works very well. Low noise as it moves up and down. Ensured there’s enough cable so nothing is pulled off the table.I’m keeping part of the packaging as they’re very useful. This is a product well made and I recommend this without hesitation.NB: kindly ignore my cable management. I’m rearranging my workstation.

Perfect wfh desk for 3 monitors. Straightforward setup and quiet when changing height.No faults and priced very well. Keyboard Tray is also a welcome touch

Excellente table, très beau rendu. Rien a redire sur l'épaisseur, je ne suis pas censé assoir mes 107 Kg dessus.La motorisation fonctionne bien et je m'en sers presque tous les jours. Aucune faiblesse. La longueur est largement suffisante pour y loger des enceintes de bibliothèque. Le montage a été assez violent car il faut un tournevis cruciforme bien taillé et une main bien ferme pour loger les vis dans l'agglo bien serré.La tablette coulissante plus large que les autres modèles et donc rare, est exactement ce qu'il me fallait, je peux loger un grand clavier à côté de la souris qui a de la place. C'est cette spécificité que je cherchais. Ca coulisse bien et est très stable.Produit recommandé.
