SHW 48-Inch Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk w/Drawer, Black

A great desk for the price. Good quality hardware and materials which is rare for a low cost desk. Assembly was easy and the desk is very sturdy once fully assembled. The motor is smooth and has plenty of power with a large dual monitor setup. And height presets are nice to have at this price. The cable basket attaches by a couple of hooks and can pop off if you hit it with your knees. This is not a major issue but it would have been nice if the basket locked in place. Fully satisfied with the purchase.

I am not one to leave reviews for stuff, whether I like them or not. But THIS, I just had to! I LOVE IT !! I bought this last Saturday, and loved the fact it was available next day Sunday! Set it up the same day just a few days ago and made these videos. Assembly was pretty easy! Just make sure you also have your own screwdriver kit in handy. You’ll only need it once. But mines came in great condition. Everything working. Got a 55” black. Love the material. I’m 5’4 and this table goes up so high!!! Like dang! And I’ve seen people say how it’s slow to go up and down. No it is not. It’s a perfect “speed” , why would you want to have something go fast when that’s how things damage? It’s not slow at all ! I just love it overall I literally have no complaints!

First and foremost, I bought two, and I would buy them again. As I have been spending more time at home, I wanted a desk I could use a walking pad at, and this does the trick. As a reference, I am 5'3 and the walking pad is about 4 to 5 inches off the ground. It showed up in great shape, the directions were straightforward, and it was easy to put together. It took a couple of hours but I also work slowly. I would recommend building it in the room you intend to use it because it doesn't easily fit through a door once together. It also needs a Phillips head for some of the screws, which it doesn't come with. I've seen a lot of reviews talk about the stability, the noise, and the rate at which it moves. Personally, I think it is just as stable as my last desk even at standing height. As with my last desk, if I jostle the table, the screens move a bit too. The motor does have a noise, but it's not too loud in my opinion. As for it moving between sitting and standing heights, I have no complaints about the speed. As for the cables and the basket, when I first bought the desk, I had a different power strip which worked great in the basket. I sit all different ways at my desk, and not once did my body come into contact with the basket. However, I recently bought a new power strip where the cables orient differently, and thus I had to get creative. If you look at the pictures, you can see what I did about the cables. I used command strips to attach the power strip. Then I took the cable management zip ties (I'm sure they have a different name), and I used those to keep my cables closer to the desk. I did not use those zip ties for what they recommend because the cable that attaches to the motor for the desk actually fits in the little slots meant for the basket. As a bonus of doing the cables this way, the only cable that moves is the one to the power strip, which is really nice. You can also undo the zip ties if you need to move your computer off the desk or rearrange the layout of your cables.

Update! March 2023 - SHW finally followed through on their promise to send me a functioning desk. The desk is great and it functions perfectly! Assembly was easy, but I fully recommend having a second person help you put it together. Now that it is set up and working I am very happy. I can see how the seam in the table might be annoying to some, but for me, it is barely noticeable. Overrall, I am very satisfied with the result, even if the process was a bit painful getting there. _____________________________________________________________________________ Original Review: I do NOT recommend this desk because mine arrived non-functioning and customer service was not helpful or supporting. Read on for details: I wish I could say this was a great desk and it worked perfectly, but I never even got past the unboxing. I was so excited about this desk and I am now incredibly disappointed in the product - but more so in the customer service. I was one of the unlucky few who received my desk with the motor not appropriately assembled. Luckily I found this error before I assembled the whole desk! In the attached photos you can clearly see the motor is not fully assembled and is just hanging loose. I have no idea how this passed any sort of quality control (or perhaps it didn't even go through it?), but the motor is very clearly hanging loose and not functional. I tried to see if there was any way for me to install my own screws to secure it, but the way it is built there is no way to get the screws in where they need to fit. After attempting to MacGyver it and not finding a solution, I reached out to Customer Service at [email protected]. Initially, they were very responsive and told me they were sorry for the inconvenience and they would be happy to replace the part. They asked me to provide my Amazon order number and a photo of the LED panel to verify the model of my desk and they would send a part. This information was provided and I have heard nothing since then. It has been nearly a month since I provided the information and I have followed up several times with NO RESPONSE from the manufacturer. I can only assume at this point that they were stringing me along to try to run out my return window. I was initially impressed with the desk, but the Customer Service has been so disappointing that I would not recommend purchasing anything from this manufacturer. It seems that some others have had better luck than myself, but honestly - save yourself the hassle and buy another desk from a manufacturer that actually backs their product.

1/29/21 Update This is my third update after owning 9 month. During my first review, i gave 5 stars, then lowered to 2 stars on my second update, which, in hindsight was a bit harsh. Now I'm raising to 5 stars again because after only 1 minor cosmetic issue, this is still the cheapest option for this type of desk. So here's my quick thoughts after 9 months. -Still love it, the motor works fine -The desk material is not too durable, but as long as you are gentle, it should be fine. for everyday typing and writing. -Some people seem to have issues with the motor burning out. This didn't happen to me, so I can't speak to that, looks like just unfortunate luck for some people -some people complain about the desk wobbling when you type but this doesn't happen for me, but I'm also a light typer ------------------------------------- 7/1/20 Update, 3 months later - I'm leaving my original review below, because everything is still true. This is a great desk for the most part, however, there's one huge flaw that happened today. I was taping a package and left a piece of packing tape attached to the desk. It wasn't even attached that firmly. After a few minutes, I pulled the piece of tape up and it took the whole corner of the desk laminate with it. As mentioned below, I was ok with a laminate desk for the price, but was shocked by how outrageously thin the laminate is. It's like... thinner than a piece of paper (view photo). It makes Ikea quality look like West Elm. Otherwise great desk, but because of such a huge flaw, i'm bumping it from 5 to 2 stars since it's still usable. Just be really careful about putting anything with a slight adhesive against the surface ----------------------------------------------------- As a tech employee who has used many standing desks, I really like this, especially for the low cost. Instead of pros-cons, I though I'd address all the complaints in other reviews and give some insight to help buyers make a decision. The only thing I can't speak to is the longevity since I've only had it about a month or the customer service since I haven't needed to contact them. Concerns found in other reviews: Desk is cheap material - Ok, please be realistic. for sub-$300 you are NOT going to find a sit/stand desk made out of solid wood. You're not even going to find a standard desk made out of solid wood. Get over it. As of May 2020, my color doesn't appear available anymore, but it's a white frame with a ashy grayish beechwood that looks good for being synthetic. Yes, there are a lot of 1 star reviews of the outer layer arriving damaged. I mean, if your desk arrives damaged, not really the companies fault. And unfortunately, once particle board is damaged, it's looks pretty bad. Just return yours if it's damaged and be extra careful not to scratch it once it's built. You should be using this desk for computer work, not home improvement projects. The edges of the desk are sharp - yes that's true, but it only hurts if you rest your arm for like 30 seconds or more. But for real, it's really bad posture to rest your arm on the corner of a desk so maybe don't do that. Parts missing/difficult to assemble - Missing parts are unfortunate but it happens sometimes with Amazon orders. As far as difficult to assemble, if you've put together a piece of ikea furniture, you'll be fine. 95% of it can be assembled with included allen wrench. I did it alone in about 40 minutes. Exposed motor - Some of the more expensive desks do a better job at hiding the motor. but who cares. Nobody has mentioned anything on mine. It's loud - I've used several sit/stand desks. Most of them make noise. This one is not loud. Not sure how I can describe it. Maybe like an electric toothbrush while it's adjusting. Programmable settings don't work - as of 5/1/20 the instructions on the listing appear to be incorrect, but after you create a setting, you have to double-tap the number to make it adjust. pressing it once won't do anything. Desktop comes in two pieces and looks cheap - Yes, the desk comes in two pieces, but no one has noticed at all and it doesn't bother me. Would prefer one piece, but hey, this is by far the least expensive sit/stand desk so it's not really a big deal. Besides, most of your monitors or other equipment should be covering the crease. 5/8/25 update. Well it’s been 5 years. Everything works great. Motor is fine. No bowing/warpkmg. still looks good. My original critique, don’t use adhesives or it will pull the veneer off easily. The edges are a little sharp so I covered it with a mat to protect my wrists. Might not bother most people. Bonus: add some casters and this desk fits through list doorways if you need to move it to a different room!

First off, I really like this desk. It looks nice and is built well, and it feels like it's higher quality than you would expect from the price. Here are the two things you probably care about most: Setup - It's pretty easy to setup. Admittedly, I've put together a lot of desks for home and work, so I have a pretty good system, but it took me less than an hour to completely unpack and assemble the desk. I was able to do everything by myself, although I needed help moving the desk. There are times during setup that it would have been nice to have a second person, but not many times. Motor - The motor works well and can lift a reasonable weight. I bought this desk largely because I bought a different, pneumatic desk without checking the weird recommendations, and quickly found out that it wasn't made to have 3 monitors on it. This desk is much better, and easily lifts my monitors. There are a few things that could be better. However, none of these made me feel like the desk didn't deserve 5 stars. 1. The motor is a bit slow. Others have noted this. This didn't bother me at all, but if you want a desk that raises quickly, you're going to need to spend a lot more. 2. The desktop comes in two pieces. Again, others have noted this, and I don't think it's a big deal, but it might be for some. 3. The power cables are not secure (I'm talking about the cables that came with the desk, not cables for my monitors and such). This one bothered me the most, and I think that if the rest of the desk wasn't so nice, I wouldn't have noticed, but since the desk feels like it's high quality, the cable issue really stands out. There are two problems. The first is that the cables are too long, so they either hang down and are easy to get your legs tangled in, or you have to find some way to secure them. I used tape, but to my point earlier, it makes it feel cheap and like they didn't think it through. The second problem is that there's a tray to hold the power adapter, and it is underneath in the middle of the desk. Again, it's easy to kick if you're shifting your legs. This one is more irritating though, because the tray is connected to the desk by two tiny hooks, so when you kick it, the whole thing falls off. It reminds me a bit of that old board game Mouse Trap - just a tiny bump and the whole thing comes crashing down. Similar to the cable issue, I put some tape over the hooks, and now it doesn't fall off, but it really cheapens the whole thing. If it wasn't for the cable / tray issues, this desk would feel like an amazing steal. Instead, it feels like it's exactly what you're paying for. But since those issues are easily resolved by just some tape that you can't see unless you're under the desk, I would absolutely buy this again and am very happy with the purchase.

I bought this for $250 in May of 2023, about a year ago, and it's probably the single best purchase I've ever made on Amazon. As of April 2024, this desk is now only $200. Foremost - do NOT let the fact that the surface comes in two pieces deter you from purchasing this. This desk is extremely stable and study. The desk surface is completely scratch resistant, don't worry about writing too hard on it and leaving indentions. Yes, the reason they can make this desk so cheap is because they can ship it in a much smaller box by splitting the surface in two. However, the seam is far back enough so that you'd never even remember that it's there. From front to seam, it is 18.75 In. Unless perhaps you're using it for large paper-based art. If so, then yes, the seam would be susceptible to leaving holes in paper were a pencil to forcefully run across it. I've never once had that problem, but there is indeed an indention. If you plan to use a computer on this desk as I do for work, then the value and quality of this product is unlike anything else on this website. Competitors of lesser quality are often nearly twice the price. The stability is honestly hard to believe. Better and much cheaper than IKEA for sure (I love IKEA, hard for me to say that), and I believe the standing desk at my company's office is name-brand veridesk - it's as stable as that if not moreso, even on carpet, at the highest level of elevation. I am 5'10" and the highest it can go is still too high for me. I have had it for a year, and have raised&lowered it automatically 5-6 days a week with no issues since I first bought it. I do cardio in the mornings before work, and usually stand until lunch and sit from 1pm-5pm. No problems whatsoever. Assembly was easy, though be careful about over-tightening some of the screws before the others. I feel like doing so improperly would make the entire thin desktop bow inwards. Loosely place all the screws, them carefully tighten afterwards proportionally. Great sized workspace, the cherry red is very stylish, great value even when I bought it for 30% more than it is now. Whoever engineered this deserves a raise, and whoever is selling it needs a high five.

Original title cause amazon's a 🐩: the color of the top panel doesn't match the name or photo but your mileage will vary and it's still worth a buy so I needed a new desk. my old one was on the verge of decomposing and I didn't want to haul it all the way up a flight of stairs to my new residence. so after about an hour of intense migraines from scrolling through amazon I settled on this one. I can't remember how quickly it got delivered and it might have been delayed by like a day or two but it was well within the unsaid law of reasonable delivery time limits. I got it in maple cause my floors were hardwood, and deep in the moldy recesses of my brain I recalled someone saying they were maple, so I was like sweet, the photo appears to match my floors, so maybe I'll finally have something in my room that's coordinated with The Colors. it ships here and it is not the same maple. maybe my floors are misnamed, or maybe the trees they were hewn from spent their lives in the shade or something. but what's in the box looks more like what would happen if an ash blonde chick washed her hair with brass removing shampoo. I'd show a photo but I don't have any and I'm not going back to that residence for like a week. Maybe if you live in the world of overly saturated, sharpened and dodged landscape photos that are bizarrely popular in Facebook groups, it could look like maple. but it doesn't match my flooring. The faux woodgrain finish actually looks pretty nice, though, for particle board. Desk assembly went well. I am a complete numb🌰 when it comes to assembling things (there's a reason I named my homebuilt computer the Jank Queen. the sources of most noises that thing makes still elude me), and I deliberately take my time building things because my working memory is more like a roulette wheel and I don't want to waste energy shaving off a meager 15 seconds. I think I built it in like a half hour, 45 minutes? While not sporting Instagram-reel-worthy machining in any of the screw holes, it's a (I forgot how much it cost already)desk from china. Don't look at the teeth of a horse you got as a gift. Anyway, the screws actually fit well through the holes, unlike some other metal things from China I've bought recently, and everything is done with an Allen key, so I didn't need any extra tools. Now for the desk: I have two giant-🐴 monitors because I like to dedicate 75% of my screen space to pictures of thomas the tank engine characters, and because I will kick and scream and hiss before I give up my last remaining dell ultrasharp u3014. 16:10 is the best aspect ratio. don't fight me. I'll win. Anyway the two monitors I have measure 32(30??)" and 27???" inches diagonally and they are pretty heavy for flatscreen panels. ok maybe not the 27" but my gigantamax dell monitor makes up for it. When I adjust the height of the desk they don't budge. Not even a little jiggle from the ultrasharp. the motor that raises and lowers the desk does so incredibly gradually, starting slower at first and speeding up, but even at ludicrous speed it's still not very fast. if you're wealthy or vain or something else you probably have a set of two-pound tiny apple monitors that could give me a papercut with that horrendous lack of bezel. or maybe monitors have just gotten that thin as of recent times. I don't know. I hate trends. But if you have those I don't even know why you're worrying about the sturdiness of the desk. I tried wobbling it with a considerable amount of force and the thing shook like a little, but more in the way that train cars aren't bolted together in one big long line, but rather have a flexible divider. Like it's designed to have room to breathe. anyway I'm rambling. It's sturdy. It will hold anything you would need to put on a desk. The speed presets on the motor confused me for a bit because I threw away the manual after I built it, but I figured it out. It comes with 4 presets already, but you can change them. Click twice to active the preset height. I forgot already how to set the preset. It's in the manual. I think. The cable management basket on the bottom also confuses me, mostly because I am horrendously bad at it, but if your cables were long enough you could probably hide them better than I could. Note that wires are still very visible going from the motor to the wall and from your monitors to your computer, unless you don't have a million things plugged in like I do. That's ok. It's life. Happiness doesn't revolve around having a flawless polished room covered from ceiling to floor in retina scorching LEDs like all the reddit posts glorify. The drawer at the bottom is pretty useless. I use it to keep all the extra hardware I got from furnishing my new domicile. 8/10 not enough maple

I love this desk, it's exactly what I wanted, and just the size I needed for my small space. It feels sturdier than I expected. I saw some reviews about the wood desk top piece coming in two sections, this is no longer the case, it's one solid piece now. I also saw complaints about the packaging, I definitely didn't have this experience, it was packaged very well, with protective corner pieces on the desk to protect it from getting banged up. I love the material of the desk, I think there's a type of solid plastic or something coating it. It feels very solid and strong and resistant to scratching and damage. (I was worried it would be a cheap particle board desk that's easily shredded up but definitely not) There is a tiny little drawer included to hold your pens and sticky notes or whatever, very appreciated. The side hooks as well I found a use for. Make sure to check the lengths of all your cords before raising the desk. It took me by myself a little less than an hour to assemble, trying to be very careful. There's not really any text for the instructions, it's pretty much just pictures. It looks a little overwhelming at first, there were a few confusing parts but if you study the diagram and line everything up to make sense first it's fine. The instructions do say all you'll need is the included allen wrench, but to attach the control panel it's some phillips screws and little screw holes, you definitely need a screwdriver to complete the assembly and that's not provided. There's 4 buttons to save height presets which is awesome, because it takes about 30 seconds to raise or lower the desk and you can just double press the button and it'll raise for you, no need to hold it down. Saving or updating the presets is also super easy, you just put it at the height you want and hold the number button to save it. There's very exact numbers displayed. I'm 5' 6' and the range of height is great, it definitely goes higher and lower than I need and doesn't feel unstable at all. I've attached a video to show how much noise it makes and the rotating motor component. I'm not going to say I'm suddenly the pinnacle of health and focus now that I have a standing desk but one month in I'm still really enjoying having the option to stand up and shake off the sludge of sitting, I still use the standing function multiple times every day so far. If you're an antsy, fidgety person like me you'll really benefit from it. If you care about the health aspect and were disappointed reading those articles saying standing and sitting burn the same amount of calories, I will say I find myself moving and stretching and wiggling around a lot more while standing so that's something. It FEELS like it should burn more calories than sitting. Definitely helps my chronic desk-worker shoulder pains a lot as well. Overall, WELL worth this price. I'm very very happy with it. If you're on the fence, you deserve it. This is a pretty reasonable price for any desk, especially one that moves.

Maravilloso escritorio, fácil de armar siguiendo las instrucciones. Se mueve un poco cuando lo configuras en lo más alto, pero lo veo natural, nada de qué preocuparse. Tiene buen tamaño (elige el que más se ajuste a tu espacio) y se ve sofisticado.

je dois dire que j'ai été agréablement surpris par ce bureau, après quelque visionnage sur youtube sur ce produit , je m'était fais a l'idée que le dessus du bureau viendrais en deux morceau séparé , et au moment du déballage , le dessus du bureau était en une seule pièce 40 x 24 , et de grande qualité comme finition , j"imagine que ces leur nouvelle configuration , leur petit moniteur qui sert a monté et descendre es aussi un nouveau modèle amélioré très simple a configuré , très facile a monté , cela ma pris environ 20 minutes , bref acheter les yeux fermé ces un très bon achat , je recommande a 100/100 .

En general me encantó la mesa. Es muy fácil de armar, pude armarla yo sólo. Tiene todo lo que necesitas para armarla excepto un desarmador de cruz que necesitarás al final. La mesa funciona muy bien, sube y baja sin problemas y estoy muy emocionado de usarla. Desafortunadamente la tabla me llegó rota pero el daño es meramente estético. Otra cosa es que tardó poco menos de un mes en llegar,.así que si es algo que les urge deben tenerlo en cuenta.

I'm back after 3 years of using this desk. I really like it, sturdy, good quality. I got the 55 inch desk. The motor for the adjustment is much stronger than I expected, but after just about 3 years, the motor died. I honestly don't know what happened. It's very unfortunate, but for a standalone desk, it still does what I need it to do in terms of holding the weight of what is on it and how sturdy it is.
