I bought my desk in January, the price at the time was $309. The desk frame is much heavier duty than I expected. Assembly was straight forward, although the included instructions were sub par.I added a 3/4x24x72" pine panel, $30 or so from Lowes or Home Depot, which I first rounded one corner and radiused the top edges and a single coat of a clear water-based finish. The panel isn't quite deep enough to cover the upper rails; with the panel aligned to the front of the front rails, there is most of 4" space between the back edge and the wall. I will likely build a hardwood replacement top that is deeper, somewhat thicker, and maybe wider in the future but this one works for now.With the top at 30" above the floor, there is hardly any wobble. At full height, there is a little wobble, but I'm not sure how much is from the frame flexing and how much is from sitting on padded fairly thick carpeting; regardless, I'm not concerned about spilling coffee from a fairly full mug with normal use.Minor drawbacks: The included screws to mount the table top were a bit longer and definitely thicker than I felt comfortable using on the pine panel. The included adjustable feet would likely not work well if you wanted to move the desk by sliding it. The gear ratio requires about 11 turns to raise/lower the unit 1"; this makes for a lot of cranking to go from sitting to standing also means that the cranking isn't hard especially if you have a heavy amount on the desk, I think of it as a mini cardio workout.
