I expected to have to lock it in place to get it to stay put, and to struggle with the lift a bit

Putting it down is a bit tricky too since I have 2 monitors and it doesn't seem like the desk does well with 2 even though it states that you can have 2.

The base of the monitors stick out a tiny bit on the edges of the desktop riser, but not a problem at all

I have used the VariDesk which I like a lot, but is a bit bulky (and pricey at about $460

This is a bit hard to pull up with 2 large monitors on it

I have trouble locking one side into place and it can be a bit tricky to lift-hence the 4 stars.
