The desk is great, smooth operation, great max and min heights. It came with a broken controller, but they sent a new one, only a short delay. Setup was fairly easy, though it did take some time. If you have any experience putting anything together, you can do it. I didn't use the videos, but they seemed useful if you need them. I'd recommend using an electric screwdriver, though you don't need one. The desk has plenty of strength and looks great. Get one that suits your size needs and you'll be set. The monitor arm took a bit of getting used to, but it has a TON of mobility and provides lots of screen options.
