Safco Muv Adjustable-Height Desk with Keyboard Shelf, Steel Frame, Laminate Work Surface, Mobile on 4 Wheels, Powder Coat Finish - Office Desks & Workstations

I bought mine on Amazon Warehouse and it had a note that the package would be damaged. When I got it, the box was pretty beat up, but I have to give a lot of credit to the people that designed the packing, the desk was perfect. The shipping & packing materials can obviously take a pounding!The desk went together easily for something as complicated as a standing desk. The instructions were clear, all the tools and parts were included, I had it assembled by myself in about an hour.The whole thing is easily adjustable. Others have noted that once you get it together it's hard to re-adjust, and that's definitely true. But it's incredibly strong & solid. Once it's together, it's not going to get loose or come apart.I'm really happy with this desk, I think it's the best I could have gotten, anywhere near this price!

After reading several articles sharing recent research on the truly sobering negative health effects of prolonged sitting, I knew something had to give. Like so many, I work long hours sitting at a computer.Did some research on stand-up stations and decided on this one. It's manually adjustable, but that's all I need. I don't need an "on the fly" adjustment (plus, those are way beyond my price range). During assembly, I set it at the height I needed. I work for a while, then when I need a break, quit working a few minutes and sit down.This Safco is solid and sturdy, and with the wheels, easily mobile. Assembly went reasonably fast. I have a 27-inch hi-res flat-panel monitor which sits on top, and the top shelf has enough space for my keyboard and mouse...I didn't need to install the slide-out keyboard shelf. My laptop sits on the next shelf down.I figure if I hadn't sprung for this workstation, in due course I'd pay out far more than its price in medical bills. One tip: Takes a while to work up to standing for longer periods, if you've been a couch potato. Be sure to get a really good "fatigue mat" to stand on. I got this one from Amazon: Crown Comfort King Antifatigue Mat, Zedlan, 24 x 36, Royal Blue (CK0023BL). If you need even more comfort, throw on a pair of athletic shoes.

Really liked this desk. No it is not adjustable as in "sit to stand". You assemble it at one height and probably leave it there. But as a small footprint, low-wobble, everything you need in a standing desk for a great price, I'm very happy.Assembled quickly, supports my dual monitor arms, supports both big screens at my 6' eye level and tucks into a very shallow space. I don't need a convertible desk - this fits what I need perfectly.

UPDATE 4/27/2012: Since posting this review, I have upgraded to a Lifespan Treadmill desk. I just posted a review of it, but I'll just say here that if you have the extra cash to spare, I would seriously recommend skipping this desk and going for the treadmill desk :) I never quite got used to standing in one place, but walking is a lot easier (and burns more calories too).*******************************************************************First of all, ignore the reviewers who said this desk is not adjustable. They're either smoking crack, or were shipped the wrong product. My impression of the desk is overall positive, except that the keyboard tray is not quite wide enough. This won't be a problem for those who use a trackball, but for mouse users, it is a bit cramped. And you're probably not going to fit two large monitors on top of this thing either.Also, one of the reasons I bought this desk is because of back/shoulder pain from prolonged sitting in front of the computer, but all this desk really did was transfer the pain to a different part of my back/shoulder, so I have found that a combination of sitting/standing works well. Thus, I'd recommend having a regular desk in addition to this one, with a monitor on each one, where the desktop is mirrored, so you can switch back and forth. That's how I have mine set up.The desk itself is not too difficult to put together, although having two people makes it a lot easier. And best to have it adjusted exactly the way you want it when you first put it together, because having to readjust it would be a bit of a pain. I would recommend to set it up just slightly HIGHER than you think you'll need it.One last thought - I had asked another reviewer before ordering this thing whether it might be possible to use this with a treadmill. He thought it might be, but I personally wouldn't try it, esp because it isn't wide enough. For that, I'd recommend checking out the Fitdesk instead.

We needed a standing desk for our office scanner, and this one fits the bill pretty well. It looks sturdy and has clean lines. However, I noticed some drawbacks:- The casters were almost impossible to lock into place. They fell out many times before a co-worker finally jammed them in using brute force.- The height of the desktop is adjustable, but instead of having pins that would lock the desktop in place at varying levels (like many adjustable card tables), there are 4 screws that, when tightened, squeeze the desktop assembly and supposedly hold it at the level you choose. Due to this loosey goosey apparatus, it is nearly impossible to level the desktop. I got out a bubble level and made adjustments, but then it slipped a little once we put weight on it. Lesson: once you finally get it level, tighten those screws will all you've got.- The desktop is covered with veneers on all sides. One long end came damaged with a ½ inch of the veneer missing. Luckily it’s going against a wall so I was able to hide it... but the manufacturer could have done a better quality check.Overall, I think this desk will work for the office, but it certainly could have been made better.
