Are the controls on the desk base lighted/ backlit? Do they stay lit at all times? Is there a way to turn off the backlight?
A shopper
on Jul 30, 2020
BEST ANSWER: They do not light up at all. There is, however, a LED back lit readout as to the hight the desk is currently at. It is a good deal but I am beginning to have trouble with the down function - it must have a safety because it appears to be hanging up and there are a few clunks coming from inside the legs. I wrote to MONOPRICE for help and advice but heard nothing back so far.

The Control Buttons themselves are not Backlit. They are black with clear white numbering. There is a digital display that will tell you what height your desktop is, and after you push he buttons to adjust the height, it turns off after a few seconds.

I don’t see any real backlighting but there’s a small LCD area in the corner that lights up with white characters on the black background when you press a button to show the height or mode. It turns off automatically after a couple seconds.

Mine aren't backlit. I press the button to activate the display, press it again to the desired preset, and after a period of time, the display goes black again. My office is very dark otherwise! Hope that helps. :D

The physical control buttons are not backlit. The LCD height display is only lit during operation of the controls and automatically turns off a few seconds after the desk stops moving.

Will this work with a glass table top?
Steve O
on May 28, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Hi, it might be possible with appropriate glass mounting hardware. Glass tabletop sellers might be able to provide metal standoffs that could be aligned to the the desk frame mounting points and attached to the glass using industrial adhesives.

You attach the standing-desk base to the desk top with screws, so I think a glass table top will only work if you have an alternate plan for securing the top to the base.

I would say no. It’s possible with suction cups in the screw holes but it wouldn’t be very stable. I wouldn’t try it.

A glass top would work but you would need some sort of non-slip pads glued to the supports.

No, this will not work with a glass table top as it needs to be screwed into it.

I'm 5'2. Would the standing desk be too high if I am seated?
A shopper
on Aug 23, 2020
BEST ANSWER: Hi, you'll probably get more height adjustment options with our dual motor desks like the 15722. They go approximately 4 inches lower at minimum height.
For this desk, it would be best to measure your ideal height when your are sitting down and with your elbows and shoulders at a comfortable and natural level. Adjustable chairs would be a big help, sometimes footrests could expand your adjustment options as well.

How long are the feet? Can the motor be mounted on the left instead of the right?
Craig F
on Aug 22, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Hi, the motor is mounted on one of the legs, so it has to be assembled a certain way, as pictured. Although you can't switch the motor between the two legs, if you really need the motor on one side, you could flip the desk itself to get the motor on the correct side, and position the controller as desired.

I am looking to make a craft table top 60" by 80". Would this handle that size of top?
A shopper
on Jul 11, 2020
BEST ANSWER: I mounted mine to a door reinforced with plywood 2 months ago. The legs are at close to full extension at 60". I have 2 laptops, 3 monitors, a PC and UPS on it, with the PC and UPS putting a little more weight on the leg with the drive. For standing, I have to raise it to 113", and there's sometimes a wobble when I bump it, but not when typing. Very stable. Your biggest concern will be the weight with that size top.

How heavy of a desktop will this support? I want to attach a 1' thick walnut desktop to the frame.
A shopper
on Aug 14, 2020
BEST ANSWER: Hi, the desk is spec'd for loads up to 164 lbs. A 1" thick hardwood desktop should work, just verify the weight and dimensions and consider what items will be placed on the desk to be sure. Thanks for checking.

Excellent standing desk. Fully satisfied
This was my first monoprice product I've purchased, and I was slightly apprehensive of what the quality would be considering the relatively cheap price. I'm pleased to say any apprehension has sizzled away and I am very pleased with the quality of the desk. The directions were clear, and I got the feeling that the company wanted to deliver a quality product. The frame is built-well, functions well, and pulled out all the stops to deliver a quality product such as an included cable management accessory, pads for the desk to gently sit on top of. I did not have the issue some reported of the desk's lowest position sitting slightly higher. This will depend on the thickness of the desk they use. Just do your measurements beforehand and test the height before you buy it... I'd recommend anyone who's considering a standing desk frame choose Monoprice and save a few hundred dollars from other options.

Excellent. Bought 2 of them.
Nothing bad to say except it comes with these rubber spacers but it's 2 short if you want to use them for each screw. I found a piece of rubber lying around and made my own.

Excellent desk!
I bought this desk wondering if I should've gotten the dual motor setup. Not necessary - this one is fantastic and impresses everyone who sees it. This is a good purchase for anyone who works remotely. Would recommend pairing it with the ikea linnmon table top (if you know the mounting points and don't put much weight on the middle) for the ultimate affordable ergo setup.

Incredible Potential
I sent these legs to a local craftsman (Kase Customs), and he made me this GORGEOUS tabletop. He had no problem securing the legs to the custom tabletop, and the total price (about $800, legs + tabletop + assembly) was on-par with the other, generic standing desks I was looking for. This desk is the absolute envy of everyone who visits, and I use the standing feature CONSTANTLY. The legs move very smoothly, and the presets are an amazing feature. Pair them with monitor stands that lift your monitors up or down, and you've got a very functioning, aesthetic workspace. Highly recommend this purchase!

This desk is great. I was able to attach an Ikea desktop we already had directly to the legs. It was easy to assemble and works exactly as expected. Worth every penny.

Easy to setup and easy to use.
So I mean its some desk legs. So the less I have to think about it once it is all set up then the better. And I have not had to think about it since setting it up. The process was easy. The tools I needed were a drill, some screw drivers, and a couple of Allen wrenches. I think that the allen wrench provided was not the correct size, but it was not an issue as I had a set (or two) of allen wrenches. Other than that its been perfect. I have been standing about 50% of the time.

All setup using an Ikea desktop.
