I spent a week looking at all the options for standing desks, considering brands, models, features, prices, and reviews. I narrowed it down to either the FlexiSpot Pro (dual motor, three-tier legs) or this model, the EN1 (single motor, two-tier legs). The fact that there were many reviews from people perfectly happy with the EN1 at about $100 less than the Pro, I placed my order. I couldn't be more pleased with my decision.Shipping - I was prepared for receiving the two packages on separate days, but lucked out that they both arrived together within 2 days of ordering. The box for the desktop was torn, but the packaging on the inside (1cm dense foam and reinforced corners) protected it well. Both the desktop and the legs were supported by plenty of dense foam, and there wasn't a scratch anywhere.Quality of Materials - The desktop has a nice, smooth laminate/melamine finish. The corners are rounded, which my hips appreciate, and the edges are beveled. The pre-drilled holes are clean and provide options for installing the control on either right or left side. The legs, feet, and horizontal support bars are very heavy and nicely finished. The holes on the metal pieces are clean-cut with smooth edges. One thing that impressed me was the rubber pads (washers?) on key spots where the base attached to the desktop, providing an extra point of cushioning and stability. For those who are concerned about the description indicating the country of origin for this product is China (as indicated in the product information above), the packaging for the product I received actually says "made in Vietnam."Performance and Stability - Compared with my husband's more expensive Autonomous desk, the FlexiSpot EN1 transitions smoothly, quietly, and quickly. Regarding stability, I find the desk to be extremely solid, even in the higher-standing positions. My monitors have a slight amount of shake when I type, but that's only because they're freestanding on the cheap plastic frames they came with. I have no doubt that if I attached my monitors to a quality monitor arm, I wouldn't have any shaking. And for what it's worth, my husband's Autonomous desk has the same amount of minute vibration as my FlexiSpot EN1. If you really want to avoid any shake at all, go with FlexiSpot's newer four-legged "Odin" model.Assembly - you've probably seen multiple reviews complaining about the lack of good assembly instructions. I'm a 66-year-old female and assembled this desk in about an hour and a half, by myself with absolutely no difficulty. I only asked for help to turn the desk upright. Honestly, if you've ever put together something from Ikea, you'll have no problem. The key is to be methodical and don't rush. Check off each item on the list as you unpack it. Pay close attention to the position of the piece you're assembling as compared to the picture. The materials are clearly labeled, and I thought the assembly went very smoothly. Yes, there are 4 holes that are not pre-drilled (2 for securing the horizontal support bar to the desktop and 2 to attach the control panel to the top), but with a little pressure, you'll easily be able to drive the screws in with just a phillips head screwdriver. Once assembled according to the instructions, the desk required absolutely no leveling or adjustments.Cable Management - The FlexiSpot EN1 has a shelf to support the desk power box, and that's it. They do include a few sticky-back cable clips, but I wanted something more sturdy. I got the HOMEPROTEK Under Desk Cable Management Tray and some Alex Tech Cord mesh tubing (both from Amazon), and I was able to organize all the cords for my PC, two monitors, speakers, and tablet charging cable.
