Perfect desk (Wrong color)

First, I’m reviewing the product itself, not the order, delivery, or other service issues. I already own the Very chair and decided to pair it with the Upside sit-to-stand desk from Haworth. After assembling it, I’m very happy with both the quality and functionality. The desk feels sturdy and solid, and raising or lowering it works well and is generally smooth. Assembly wasn’t too difficult, I followed a YouTube instructional video. I’m not sure if instructions were supposed to be included, but none came with my shipment.

Issues I’ve encountered:
- I ordered a Neo Walnut top but received a white top instead. I was told the correct one should arrive in about two weeks, which would make it a month or so since ordering the desk.
- In the meantime, I was told to use the top I received, which I’ve done.
- The paddle’s screw holes don’t line up with the pre-drilled holes in the desk as they did on the video I watched, is it the wrong paddle? I used only one screw for now, but it seems I’ll need to drill a new hole.
- If I haven’t used the paddle for a while, the motor sometimes “kicks” when I start raising or lowering the desk, and the movement isn’t as smooth.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our Upside Sit-to-Stand Desk. We're glad to hear that you are happy with the quality and functionality of the desk, and that the assembly process went smoothly with the help of a YouTube video. We apologize for the mix-up with the color of the desk top and the inconvenience this has caused. Our team is working to get you the correct Neo Walnut top as soon as possible. If you continue to experience any issues with the motor, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team for assistance. Thank you for choosing Haworth and we hope you enjoy your new desk!

Beautiful and Solid Desk

This desk is a HUGE upgrade from my previous desks! The design is clean and easy to build. It is very heavy though and you will need another person to help you flip and lift it.

If I had to nit pick, there were no instruction manual included and so I had to look online for one. Luckily it was easy to find - however it would have been nice if it were included. My other issue was for the instructions to orientate the desk top so flipping would be easy was opposite of what it should have been.

Thank you for your feedback on the Upside Sit-to-Stand Desk! We're glad to hear that you love the design and found it easy to build. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the lack of an instruction manual and will make sure to include one in future shipments. Thank you for bringing the issue with the desk top orientation to our attention - we will definitely look into it and make any necessary improvements. Have a great day!

Amazing choice for my first desk.

Since having this desk for about a week has shown that it's a great contender for a sit-stand desk. My only qualm (and it's just a personal one) is that I had to drill extra holes, which added more work for me and the person helping me. Otherwise, I have recommended this desk to friends and family members who WFH. It doesn't wobble when I raise or lower the desk, and the motor isn't excessively loud. I work from home and I'm in meetings/calls constantly, it reduces the stress on me (and my back) rather than having a regular desk.

Some advice: Haworth team, amazing job on building the desk. But for the future, would you be able to consider pre-drilling ALL of the holes for the desk (no matter the configuration) for future releases? I think it would put you guys ahead of the ball and could reduce assembly time (especially for those who do not have a 1/8th drill bit/wood drill bits available to them) for folks who are relatively new to assembling desks of this nature. Next bit of advice: have 2-3 people help you, this desk is HEAVY!

Awesome

Great desk, I purchased the largest one. Very sturdy and high quality - but be aware this thing is extremely heavy! Relatively easy to assemble but definitely takes some time as there is a lot of steps. Overall i'm very happy with no complaints. The field elm top looks beautiful.
