I love that the top is shipped in two pieces. This made handling and assembly by one person more manageable. The assembly was very easy. I use a large gaming desktop mouse pad, so I don't have to do much cleaning, but the surface is an easy-to-clean laminate safe to wipe with any all-purpose cleaner.
Assembly was a breeze. I put the two desktop pieces on the floor, bottom side facing up, and just followed the instructions. The holes lined up perfectly. Pay attention to the screws where it says do not tighten completely. Once you have all those pieces and screws finger-tight and lined up, you can finish tightening them.
The desk is very robust, and the base provides wobble-free stability for my work area, even when fully raised. It is the perfect size for personal use or working from home when necessary. It works great with my dual-monitor setup, and I can easily switch between my work MacBook Air and my personal Windows mini desktop.
My primary use is my personal computer, usually doing product research or scrolling social media. I like sitting on my reclining couch and having the TV on in the background. This desk rolls easily, transitioning over tile flooring and a thin area rug. The desk allows me to use my dual monitors, positioning them comfortably for easy viewing without blocking the footrest's operation.
The desk's motor is quiet, and raising or lowering the desk is very smooth and quick.
I have two nitpicks with the desk. Also, I didn't see any other desks that checked these two boxes without breaking the bank.
--First, with the wheels installed, the lowest height to the desktop's top is about 30 inches. This is high if you want to use it as a sitting desk with a standard office chair. I only use it as a standing desk or from the couch. You can see in my photo where I am sitting reclined with the TV on in the background. I have a wireless keyboard and rollerball mouse on my lapboard. This desk made an excellent setup.
--Second, there is no shelf or bracket to mount a UPS. I had to figure out how to get power to all my devices while being able to move the desk without fighting a spider web of power cords getting tangled.
This is also shown in my photos; you can see where I mounted a battery backup surge protector(UPS) on the leg. I used a brand-name heavy-duty black outdoor double-face mounting tape and secured the UPS with a ratchet strap for 24 hours to give the tape time to fully adhere to the leg and UPS. I positioned the UPS on the part of the leg that moves with the desktop, so the UPS and power cords do not move when the desk is raised or lowered. The only cord that moves is the UPS power supply cord plugged into the wall.
I have several photos included and a short video highlighting how quiet the desk is when raising or lowering.
I am very happy with this purchase. It was an outstanding value. I highly recommend this Monomi desk.
