How easily does the top scratch and how do I prevent this?
A shopper
on Apr 28, 2021
BEST ANSWER: I have owned for nearly a year with no scratches. I wipe down with a moist cloth once a week. I have spilt hot coffee and other items on it. No issues with it yet!

I have had mine for about a year now and haven't had any scratches. I wear an Android smart watch with a metal band and when typing, I hear the band making contact with the desk top, but haven't noticed any scratches. I usually take the watch off when at the desk but often times forget.
My laptops, monitor, and speakers all have the rubber footings on them and I use a mouse pad too. I would imagine that these would help protect the desk top.

I haven't had the issue arise yet. It appears to be a laminate top so conceivably it could scratch fairly easily. Suggest possibly a black pen designed for covering-up scratches....the scratch itself willl likely remain however (from what I can tell).

I have had mine for awhile and don't have any scratches.
A previous desk that i had which was more of a church table style, i just epoxied the top and did have any more issues.

You're not going to scratch this by accident, unless you're splitting wood on it. We've had ours for half a year, and it doesn't have a scratch. We have very....energetic kids and pets.

I have it on a stand up desk and have not had any scratching. I have multiple monitors as well as a Wacom Tablet so a lot of use.

My wife has been using this desk daily for almost a year. No scratches at all. It’s made WFH a much better experience for her.

Can this work with the gas-lift sit-stand desk frame? Product 30907

Monoprice Table Top for Sit-Stand Height-Adjustable Desk, 4ft Black, Compatible with Electric Desks

Workstream by Monoprice Height Adjustable Gas-Lift Sit-Stand Desk Frame, 4ft
BEST ANSWER: Hi, this top would work with the gas-lift frame, just a couple of details to note: First is you would need to get the proper mounting screws and drill them in. Second is this desktop is a few lbs heavier than the top spec'd for the gas lift frame (product 30909), so it could use up a bit of the gas-lift force. Hope this helps.

The gas lift frame will accommodate any 48"x24" desk top as long as you can put screws into the top. I used a desk top that I already had and it worked great.

The pictures seem to show the edge as the same material as the top. Can you post a picture of the actual product edge?
A shopper

BEST ANSWER: Hi, the edges are the same color so it is not that obvious in photographs or in person. The edge banding is PVC material for extra protection. Hope this helps.

BEST ANSWER: Hi, you are correct, the desktop is solid with no hollow spaces. It is designed primarily for office or computer use, so it can support monitors, monitor mounts, and computers. We use these desktops at our office and have dual monitor mounts clamped on. Thanks for checking.

Monoprice Sit-Stand Height Adjustable Table Desk Frame Workstation, Manual Crank

Monoprice Table Top for Sit-Stand Height-Adjustable Desk, 5ft Black, Compatible with Electric Desks
BEST ANSWER: Hi, if you are building an L-shaped desk with two frames, it might be best to keep the desks separate and just butted right next to each other, unless you are OK with adjusting the two frames at the same time to avoid causing weird stresses to the desk that could result in instability or reduced durability.

Monoprice Table Top for Sit-Stand Height-Adjustable Desk, 4ft Black, Compatible with Electric Desks

Monoprice Sit-Stand Dual-Motor Height Adjustable Table Desk Frame, Electric, Black
BEST ANSWER: Hi, the desktop originally had predrilled holes for easy mounting to this frame. But supply constraints during the pandemic have caused temporary issues and our current stock (Q1 2021) most likely do not have the matching tops and frames.
Having said that, positioning the top should only take a few extra steps compared to assembling the desk. You would only need some quick measurements to approximately center the desk frame top the top, and then predrill or use the included screws to start the mounting holes.

Monoprice Table Top for Sit-Stand Height-Adjustable Desk, 4ft Black, Compatible with Electric Desks

Monoprice Triple-Motor Height-Adjustable Sit-Stand L-Shaped Corner Desk Frame, Black
BEST ANSWER: Hi, the 4 foot desktop will fall a couple of inches short on the frame if it is the longest dimension you'll be using.
Also, you will only be left with 17.5" on the return side because the width of the 90-degree desktop will eat into the length (The table top length is 47", less the 29.5" width of the 90 degree top will only leave 17.5" length on the return side).

BEST ANSWER: Hi, this will work with that desk frame, but you would need to position, pre-drill if possible, and screw to attach. It's an extra step during assembly but it is doable and doesn't need to be too exact as long as it is fairly balanced.

Great quality, great price
Desk top is high quality and the price was great. I had to downsize from a bigger desk top (kept the same motorized legs from MonoPrice) and it was pretty straightforward to swap out the desk tops as there are pre drilled holes that match the MonoPrice legs.

Not Compatible with Sit-Stand Desk
If you're considering buying this table top because you saw it was compatible with the sit-stand desk you ordered from this site -- don't.
The table top arrived without any screws and the pre-drilled holes do not line up at all with the desk frame. Screws themselves can not be sent separately -- it requires returning the entire 40-pound package to have another one sent to you.
The top is good quality and is sturdy, but it's definitely not the one you want for the sit-stand desk.

Nice but better not scratch it
From what I can tell it is made of particle board. It is sturdy but is laminate nevertheless. Looks great but there is always a chance of nicking it with no restitution....

Incorrect description, predrilled holes do not line up
The description boldly claims "Pre-drilled holes make it easy to position and mount the desktops". I believed in it and bought it for Workstream by Monoprice Sit-Stand Dual-Motor Height Adjustable Table Desk Frame, Electric, White (product 21590). However, the holes do not line up with the side brackets provided with the dual motor frame by Monoprice. Very disappointed.

Nice tabletop but...
Very nice surface.
pre-drilled holes dont line up with manual frame, at least mine didnt. I just drilled new ones, no problem.
Shipping jacked this thing up!!!
I had a few gouges in the surface from shipping as well as some weird residue that took forever to clean off.
Super pissed at the shipping, they definitely didnt do enough to protect the surface.
Outside of the shipper beating the shit out of it, I do love the top and would recomend it IF they figure a safer way to ship it. Otherwise, I would just expect a jacked up top.
