I'm a watercolor painter and had lumbar spine surgery 3 months ago, and can stand for long periods of time more safely than sitting in a recliner or other chair. I needed an option to stand and paint or work on the computer sometimes. This item is PREFECT. It's very sturdy, and the feet at the bottom of the legs adjust so you can make it sit evenly with no wobble.The desk surface is smooth and looks nice. It's light enough that I'm allowed to lift it when folded. Easily slides behind a door or the sofa to store when not in use. I'm 5'9" tall, and the desktop is above my belly button, so it's perfect for me and I don't have to lean at all (which is unusual for me!) and my neck is not strained. I couldn't have found a more perfect item, took all of 4 minutes to assemble, as assembly was almost complete when it was received. Please note that the option with the black top is wider than this model. I considered that, which might be good if you are using with a treadmill. But this one was plenty wide enough for me and my needs.
