I was ecstatic to discover this desk in Ikea a month ago, and I bought it right away.  It&#x27;s so much less expensive than any alternatives I could find, and the material and build quality is superb.<p>Raising and lowering takes some time, but the brief mechanical labor involved in changing the height is probably a good mental and physical break for the operator.  I don&#x27;t change my desk height often - it stays in standing position 90%+ of the time.
