Only just built it, but the desk looks and feels beautiful, much more than I expected for the price. The white desktop is solid, heavy pine, which I hadn't originally believed. My desk has gone from being an eyesore to looking very elegant and trendy. The manual crank adds to this feeling, and the physical action is a good mind reset (much like a manual coffee grinder). Also, I am 6"2, yet the desk is tall enough for me to work comfortably standing.
