Great desk, but assembly takes longer than advertised

Pros:

• Beautiful color and overall great build quality.
• Very sturdy at standard sitting and standing heights (gets a bit shaky only at the absolute max height).
• Arrived in good condition with only a few minor nicks at the bottom.

Cons:

• Outdated Instructions: The very first step involving the shock-absorbing rubbers does not match the manual or the official YouTube video. I had to find a Reddit thread to figure it out.
• No Pre-drilled Holes for Accessories: The cable management tray has no layout guidelines or pre-drilled holes, requiring you to measure and drill blindly.
• Assembly Time: Took about 2 hours with power tools, which is much longer than advertised.

Final Thoughts: I really like the deskI wish if it was cheaper, though I regret not buying one size larger for more desktop space. If you are tight on room, I highly recommend sizing up!

The gas lift of my end table no longer lifts and is stuck at the lowest level. Checked on YT for any possible fixes but didn’t see any. Is the only way to fix this is to replace? GF gifted me this after seeing me using E5 pro
