Deal HistoryÂ
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
The MDF tabletop is shipped in 2 pieces for this particular desk; it's called "splice board". It's split longways. You abut the 2 pieces, they join with dowels at the contact points and brackets connect the pieces from underneath, I believe 3 brackets for the 48" model.
I'd just be careful not to max out or exceed the weight limit, but the steel legs support it well. Great quality on these desks for the price. I've sold dozens of them in the last 6 months and have had no major complaints or any motor failures reported. I also use one personally. Worst case, return policy is nice.
These particle board tops only last a couple of years if that anyways. You can easily put any top on the desk that you want. This one is decent for the price as well as it has dual motors. I have the 55 inch version and love it

Yeah...I'd reconsider if I were you with the split top board this desk has. That's just begging for long-term trouble years down the road with that big point of failure if you're not careful with weight distribution.
I'd also confirm your optimal sitting/standing height before going with this. 28" minimum can be too high for some people.
this. unless youre 6 foot tall the 28" means if your feet are touching the ground then you likely will have your arms tilted up a ways to actually reach your keyboard which is ergonomically not great.
definitely measure your current desk
the only other thing to do is buy one of those triangular foot rests and use that if youre shorter than 6' (so you raise the chair higher so your elbows can be at proper 90 degs but your legs will be dangling a bit)

What do you mean by spit top board?

Thanks for this info. That big gap between the boards would drive me nuts. You can't even see any indication that it's a split top from the product photos but the customer photos clearly show the gap.
Just for comparison, IKEA has a standing desk that ranges from 27.5" to 47.25", but it costs $250 and you crank it to change the height.
Looks like their cheapest electric one is $420[ikea.com], but it goes from 22"-48".
My current desk surface is 28", but the keyboard tray is 24"... although I often find myself slouching. I need to raise the monitor up to a better height.

I just use two Ikea tables, one at standing height, 2nd one recessed below it and inside the higher one. Fixed legs can be adjusted in height. Lower table gives me more space to put my junk. However, it obviously doesn t adjust for sitting. I just try 2 sit as little as possible.

Yeah, all my customers ask how it can be 24" wide when the box is so skinny. I find myself having to explain splice board a lot. The gap isn't large tho. If you were drawing on paper straddling the crack, you'd know it... But for general office and computer use, it'd be fine. I have my 3D printer on my 55".
And like someone else said, you can put any tabletop on it. I wouldn't go too heavy as it'd reduce the weight capacity and/or put strain on the motors.
But again, great price. Usually the sub-$200 desks don't even include a tabletop at all.
wow, i bought this table for $240 like half a year ago. this is a great price and I would do it again in a heartbeat if you really want to spend in this price range. I had zero issues with it. the split tabletop is not an issue for me but I guess I can see people getting bothered by it. i will mention two subtle "issues". one is that the instructions ask you to mount the electrical box somewhere near the middle of the desk. if you're on the taller side with long legs, your knees will bang against the box on the lowest setting. my solution was to not follow the instructions and mount the box elsewhere. second, because the table is not wide, the legs are mounted pretty close together, and again if you're on the taller side, your knees could bang against the "T" portion of the leg that makes contact with the table. and third, like someone else said, the minimum height is still quite high for most people assuming you want to put your keyboard on top of the table. if you just want to write or read the height is fine. I solved this by buying a ~$40 keyboard tray that hangs below the tabletop. this gives me the perfect elbow height with the keyboard and then the perfect table height if I want to write with a pen/paper. other than these things, this is a very solid buy in my book.

I wonder if they have had some consistency/QC issues. I bought a similar model from them late last year and don't have a noticeable gap like in some of those pictures, it is just clear that they are a little off when you look at the side edge of the desk. But I also put a lot of effort into pushing the two pieces together when I assembled. No issues so far.
