The delivery was exceptionally prompt. I ordered it on a Wed evening and it arrived the following Fri morning. I live on a rural property. Nothing has ever arrived that quickly. Instruction videos were very clear and easy to follow. The desk is very heavy so it is recommended you assemble it close to where it will be situated. The mechanism works smoothly with a broad range of heights. Well beyond my (5'4") needs. I bought the acacia top which has a lovely feel. Hoping the surface is hard enough for drawing on. The messmate would have been preferable but quite pricey. It is great to have a desk that looks contemporary and is functional and solid. Local company too. I'm hoping to use it for many years. Based on my experience so far I strongly recommend it.
