You're here because you sorted low to high on price for manual-adjust desk. Will it do what it says on the tin? Yes. Will all the parts and pieces go together smoothly at assembly? No. Will you wish you'd gotten a better desk? Probably, but who's to say twice the price is twice the quality in MDF home-assembled furniture? Get the cheap desk. It will be 'good enough' which is what you came for.

This is kind of awful. Very cheap plastic pieces that have cracked the first day out of the box; the cheap engineered wood splintered while putting it together rendering it almost useless; it does not function as an adjustable desk because each side is adjustable independently, meaning it is very awkward to raise and lower without making one side longer than the other, potentially resulting in damage to the platform pieces as they tear out of the cheap engineered wood.
