Cons
Con Slow height adjustment
The transit speed of the motor isn't at all impressive: 1.1 inch per second compared to the average of 1.5 inch per second. It will take the desk more than 20 seconds to go from the lowest setting to the highest.
Con Noisy
The electric motor that ensures height adjustment of the desk is unprecedentedly loud: 69 dB - almost as loud as a vacuum cleaner.
Con Inadequate warranty deal
Geekdesk offers 5 year warranty on the steel frame, 2 years on moving parts, and no warranty at all on the desktop. Considering that other producers offer lifetime warranty on the steel frame and up to 5 year warranty on the desk top this doesn't seem like a particularly good deal.
