WorkFit-D Standing Desk, Height Adjustable Sit Stand Ergonomic Desk – Birch

I've had the workfit-d desk for about 10 years and I liked it up until today when one of the lift mechanisms broke, probably a spring. Contacted Ergotron and asked about replacement parts. They do not carry any replacement parts for this desk. So, my $1,000 desk is dead for lack of a $30 spring. Bad support.

(Updated after approximately 6 months:) I use this desk all day, every day, and am very happy with it. I've set up a dual-monitor arm for my LCD screens on the right-back edge of the desk, leaving the whole work surface open. This is the best sit-stand workstation I've had so far, after a few previous rigs I've put together.Being able to raise your whole work surface up is very nice - especially when you're working on a combination of paper materials and a computer. It's very easy to raise and lower, and assembly took less than an hour.The main drawback is the price, but it actually seems to be a decent deal relative to most other comparable products on the market. There isn't much along the way of cable management, but I've gotten by with judicious use age of zip-ties around the metal frame. The build quality is sturdy, and I'm quite happy overall.

Overall I'm happy with this desk. It does its basic job well, and the ability to stand at times while using my computer is helpful. Assembly was reasonable. I'm happy with the quality of the materials. If not for a design glitch, I'd give it 5 stars. The problem is that one must access the back side of the desk in order to adjust the lift tension, and most people don't use a desk out in the middle of the floor where the back side is accessible while in use. Since all desk contents should be in place when the adjustment is made, this design would require loading up the desk in the middle of the floor, adjusting the tension, unloading and moving the desk, then loading it up again. Admittedly not that big a deal, but accessibility to the tension adjustment from the front would avoid the unnecessary complications. Another minor improvement would be if the desk would drop about one inch lower; I didn't buy the optional keyboard tray (nor do I want one), so the desk sits just a bit high for using the keyboard on the desk surface, which works better for this bifocal wearer.

This desk is very disappointing. While it may work for someone who is just dabbling in the idea of "standing up while working," the hand brake and manual lift/drop proved difficult for me. I had back surgery 10 months ago and was hoping this would help my work flow. Ikea's Bekant electrically operated desk is cheaper and push button operated, making it a better choice. I feel ripped off with this cheaply made desk and what I paid for it. I will be returning it and eating the shipping cost.

I have purchased other Ergotron products (the WorkFit - S and Workfit - A) before and been very satisfied, so I had no reservations about buying the WorkFit-D. The construction is sturdy, and the value is there. The action is farely easy to use. My main complaints are that the counter top material doesn't seem to be laminate...the substrate surface telegraphs through the counter top and the edgebanding/self edge is lower quality and may even be painted.I think the positive lock when the break is engaged is good, but the desk has to be pushed down just a touch before it settles.The final complaint although a small one...the finishing welds where the base meets the upright seem a little rough.The size of the counter top is good enough for a computer with dual monitors a keyboard, a writing pad and a phone.

A chunk of the corner is missing on my desk. Is there anything you I can do about this?

Moves up and down easy, post tension adjustment. Well built solid product. Easy to put together. I'm accommodating a 27 in iMac with it.Update: I figured I'd update this. I bought it in 2014. It's 2017 now. Still looks brand new, I have cats, and use it as a general work-surface and computer desk. Every other desk I've ever bought would have been banged up and falling apart by now.Both the one at work and my home one are holding up to very regular use, up and down several times a day. I had the one at work for longer, I ended up liking it so much I got one from home out of my own pocket.

The desk works well and after a little adjustment, I can easily raise and lower it one handed. If you know which end of a screw driver to hold and you can read instructions, you can put this desk together. Once assembled, I have found it to be very stable and to have sufficient room for two 24" monitors and an open laptop.I would give it five stars, but the edge of the desk is too sharp. It would not be that hard to put a bull nose edge on it. After a week of creases in my wrists, I routed a rounded edge on mine and am enjoying it that much more.
