How easy is it to change the height? I am looking for a desk that I can move up and down a few times a day, so I want it to be very easy.

There is a knob on each side that you need to loosen, then adjust the height and re-tighten the knobs. Not a real pain to do but not real quick either. My biggest complaint is that the bolt holes in the top did not line up with the frame. I had to drill some new holes to assemble it. If you're handy it will be a breeze.

Not easy unless you have two people. It has to be adjusted one leg at a time. So it is not convenient to change height multiple times a day.

You loosen the 4 hand screws and move it up and down. I would say it's fairly easy as long as you don't have much weight on it.The back section and the front section move independently.

No you can not change the height. It don't think so. I'll nabbed to check that out.

Another idea if you are like me and hate how the plastic top of those folding desks feel; I got a couple of DeWalt adjustable height sawhorses (http://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-Adjustable-Metal-Legs-Sawhorse-DWST11031/203040645) and then you can choose your top from any material and whatever length. I used a 2' x 4' melamine board and the whole thing is plenty sturdy and looks a bit better than those ugly desks. Here's my setup (http://i.imgur.com/NGaC0SH.jpg). You could stain a nice dark slab of wood for the top and it would look even better.

I have my height adjustments about halfway, leaving about 6 inches to lower, and my treadmill is about 6 to 8 inches high. Raising and lowering would be easier with two people, as the adjustments are on both sides. Maybe with office chair lifted to max height looks doable to me. Walking at 1 mph i find is easy to fully function computer, phone, even writing long hand not disturbed too much. Standing I feel I would lean (terrible posture). I hope any of this helps. Should also mention, I have found the lack of swollen feet and ankles an added bonus. Best of luck to you.

It's pretty easy to adjust, if your just talking about tilting the monitor up and down. To actually change the height of the monitor, you would have to learn a screw and tighten again at the desired height.

The chair can be moved up or down. We have a standard desk at home and it fits fine. Sorry, I'm not getting my tape measure out! As long as you don't have an unusually short desk, you should be fine. We've had the chair a year now, and it's holding up great! Hope this helps

It has holes. You cannot adjust it up and down temporarily. You select the appropriate height and put it together for that height. It is not tall enough to make it a standing desk either. This company has a different model standing desk. It is a nice desk. I've used it almost everyday over the last 20 months and I like it.

Hi, I'm a fellow customer and own this floating desk. Unfortunately I have since discarded my instruction/packing sheets with any specification of this product. What I can tell you is that it is pretty heavy but not enough to prevent me from installing this on my own in a safe manner (40 year old man fairly average weight and height). I have two of them and installed both of them on my own. I'm very satisfied with the desks.

Hi there ... no, I agree with what the others have said; it's meant to be assembled only this one way. I would also mention that the drawers are not very easy to reach (especially the bottom one), so just put things in there that you don't have to access very often. :) All in all, though, I like the desk, and think it's a good value for the money.

It is easy enough to move the stand up or down (seconds) if that is what you wish to do. I leave it set up on a portion of my U shaped office desk with a monitor and phone and simply move my laptop to either my sitting or standing desk. I spend half my day on scheduled conference calls and do all them standing up and find it is much better than sitting all day. This has been a very good solution for me.

I think that by any definition the monitor can easily be moved around. During installation you should adjust the spring tension to adjust for your monitor weight. That is pretty easy to do because it is just a matter of turning a screw. Once you have the tension adjusted you can easily move the monitor up/down in/out left/right with one hand. The tilting mechanism is a little less easy depending on the size/weight of your monitor. I have 2 of these arms at my desk, one with a 27" monitor and the other with 12" Cintiq. The smaller/lighter Cintiq is a little harder to maneuver, but I still would not call it hard. The tilting control just seems to be friction based, so a smaller monitor has less leverage and heft to overcome the friction.

The comment above mine that says the product is not sturdy and the directions are not in English is completely bogus. The product is totally sturdy, the directions were in English and easy to follow. It took a while to put together but that's because you are building it from the bottom up! All the pieces were there and they were even labeled so the directions were super easy to follow. I am satisfied with this desk and I think you will be too!

Harold: Bought my unit two weeks ago and just installed it last night. My desk too is up against a wall... and it works just fine. As you expand the unit for standing, the legs stay put on your desk but the monitor platform moves forward... so a wall is no obstacle. That help?

There are a couple of ways, you can grip monitor itself and move it up and down, but only by small degrees. The best thing to do is to adjust it to where you want it and leave it. You may need to loosen the connections in the back with the tool it came with ( or I think it might be a standard small Allen wrench). You may want to have a friend help you loosen the arm, while you adjust the monitor and then tighten.They are not super difficult to adjust, though it takes a little effort. However, once properly adjusted and tightened, they are great. I have two of them on my desk and have sold and set up lots of them for customers.

Not easily. In my experience, the knob has a lot of tension (so it's tiring to raise it or lower it a lot), and it's quite slow to raise and lower the bench. It makes more sense to adjust it before sitting down. It's not like a lot of office chairs, where it's really easy and quick to go up and down.

You have to assemble every part of the desk, down to every screw.It wasn't hard at all to put together with very simple instructions. At least to me but I also can do heavy work on car engines to me.Also keep in mind that the center area where the monitor is at is for a small monitor like I think maybe no bigger than 15 inch maybe 16 inch if your lucky. Mine is 17 and it doesn't fit in between the 2 shelves. Hope I was of help to you. It's a great desk I gave mine to a friend and he loves it and i bought a different kind.

Jeremiah, Sad to say, I haven't begun assembly of my computer desk. From the appearance of the shipping boxes, it appears that the main top is in two distinct pieces. I have never had difficulties assembling a unit suchas the computer desk. This will be a sizeable task and I know from experience it will take plenty of patience. Sorry I can't give you more info on the assembly. Please don't let assembly questions keep you from the desk.I have seen similar desks and this particular desk should be a good one. Best of luck.....go for it!
