Slow Clap of Perfection
All the features of this desk are what i was looking for, so when i came across this I was so excited. Originally it was available in the Carbon Fibre but since i had to wait a couple months anyways the Walnut would become available. I have to say overall this exceeded my expectations.
Shipping: After purchase it shipped almost immediately and was to me in only a couple days (California). 10/10
Building: Instructions were clear, hardware was labeled well and while it looks like a lot of parts its actually really easy. I enjoyed this build and everything fit together so perfectly. And there are so many ways to personalize how the desk is. 10/10
Durability: This is a very well put together desk and it seems really sturdy even with all the crap i have on it. My one change if i could would be to make the desk wood a little thicker, but still 10/10
Aesthetic: Looks just like the pictures, looks great in person i love it.
Sit/Stand: The desk goes up and done with ease its perfect. Setting my Work Sitting Height, Work Standing Height and Gaming Height was a nice added bonus. 10/10.
Storage/Cord Management: I was excited to finally do some real cord management and make it look really nice. I could of done much better, attaching a power strip to the cable management tray kinda threw me off a bit. I have ideas to fix this later (will be moving into a different room in a few months so will tackle that then). But underneath there are so many places to run the cables its great. (See the third picture of underneath with red lines and description for a cable management tip i discovered after all was said and done)
I'm not sure what order the pictures will post in, but:
First Picture: Overall of everything after setup. There plenty of room for everything while still keeping clean even with work and personal PC items.
Second Picture: Underneath of just the legs attaching to the black bar and wood desk. Not a huge deal and everything still works fine, just more of a feedback or recommendation for the 2.0 if they so choose. The legs that go into the desk have the cord on the top portion closer to the wood. The cord has to bend not ideally in my opinion but like i said it works so I'm ok with it. My thoughts would be to move it on the other side so the bar isn't in the way or make it so the bar thats right next to it has a cutout on the side closest to it so the cord can not bend immediately.
Third Picture: The underneath of everything with little red lines. After running all the million cables i had between work stuff and personal pc stuff i noticed something that i wish I could of done when I was building. So I've included a recommendation for when you attach the black bars to the wood desk you add some cable ties or Velcro ties where i marked between the wood and the bars before you screw them in (i went a little overkill with the markings but just trying to give options). Because you screw the bar to the wood there's no gap or anything in it after the fact, but if you can do it while building you'll have yourself some cable ties attached to the bar to keep cords running along the bars nicely.
Overall though i am extremely happy with this. I love the design, the color, the extra rgb lights (i also have two light bars so don't take my picture as how bright just the desks are), it just had everything that i had in my mind when looking for the right desk and i couldn't be happier. My last desk was able to fit my personal pc on there but i was not able to with this desk which I actually was not intending to do with this desk. I like being able to see my personal PC (who doesn't) rather than tucking it behind the monitors like i used to have it, so i ended up grabbing the PC cart too which I'm super happy with. The cart gave me a little extra wiggle room for placing my router, my works router and my home security system as well which was normally all out in the open on file cabinet. So that was a nice bonus.
