- This is my review of the tresanti adjustable height desk from Costco purchase for $299 in 2018. I had to review this product because I love it so much for the price it’s phenomenal
Adding the power strip with zip ties....GENIUS!!!!! Just got mine set up! Thank you so very much for this attention to detail!
No problem! Hope you enjoy the desk! I now added another long glass next to mine to make it a L , couldn't be happier!
for cable management IKEA Bekant desk did a better job for that part they have little organizer basket for managing cables and adapters which i like it a lot and smart but i dont recommend the desk because they use bad quality of electric system which is break so fast www.ikea.com/ca/en/images/products/bekant-desk-sit-stand__0855243_PE714379_S5.JPG
I had already purchased this desk, but waiting for my office to get redone before I set it up and was trying to figure out if I could use a clamp dual monitor stand. I want to thank you for your review because you clearly answered that question and gave me so many helpful hints of how to work with my new desk once I set it up!! Seriously one of the best reviews I have seen. You go right into it without a lot of chit chat and made me want to keep watching it even after you answered my question about the monitor stands. I see from the other comments you answered about the monitor stand you got and it was the same one I had saved in my Amazon list, so it makes me feel better going with that one and not having to do a lot of research. Appreciate you taking the time to do this review and answer questions!!
Thanks for the super nice comment! Appreciate it!
@@BitnerBuilt Just to be clear - you can't mount a monitor to the back of the desk. I've run into this problem after using this for a few years.
Just got it from Costco warehouse at only 229.99. Thanks for your review.
Oh nice great deal!
Just got one this weekend. Really easy to set up and I love it! I'm able to take notes with a dry erase marker and wipe it off. I still need to do the zip ties with the surge protectors but in due time!
That is awesome!
Purchased this desk today brand new and assembled for $95. I'm soooooo happy and still in shock!
wow only $95? where?
blur1221 Yes! At a store in Dallas that sells discounted overstock from department stores and furniture stores. It was my very first time there with a friend. I’m still in shock. Waiting for my husband to return from a business trip. He’s not going to believe me but I have the receipt. :) It was just there, brand new and I ran up to it, yep I ran. After I asked the price, she didn’t know and called someone and they said, “$95”. Well alrighty then, plugged it up to make sure it worked and I was so excited. The paper and everything is still on the glass. This was just on Friday.
@@m.w.5004 WOW! great job super shopper, I would have bought a second at that price!
blur1221 My son said the same thing but there was only one.
@@m.w.5004 Where in Dallas ma'm?
Sadly this desk won't work for me. Glass, metal and solid surface materials are too cold for me to rest my arms on. And the lowest height of 29.5” isn't a comfortable keyboard height with my feet on the ground. I thought I'd share these two points in case someone else has these issues. Otherwise I would totally buy it!
I got the black one, however, having the same problem it doesn't go low enough to be ergonomic, also too small to fit everything on desk I need. Returning soon
@@sanman31 I ended up getting an "Uplift Standing desk" with a bamboo top. I got the regular one which goes low enough for me, and they have one that goes super low. - best of luck!
Got details for others thanks!
Very helpful video! We're about to purchase this desk.
great, hope your still enjoying it
Put mine together and it wouldn't raise up. Called customer service then helped trouble shoot it. However, now when it is being lowered the whole top shakes. Calling back. Top drawer also stuck and scraped along the top side, think I got a lemon.
sounds like it / was prob damaged in transport. You're the first lemon report out of 34k views so id give it a go and return it and grab another. Still loving mine a year later with no issues!
I just got this today and it’s stuck on BOT I think ups damaged it in transit box was beat up
Hello, I was wondering if the bar below does not block the space for your feet? Thanks in advance!
If sitting in a proper sitting position, upright then no your feet go under it and it is a little above your shins not touching you. If your reclining back, I usually put my feet up on the bar but I also use a desk hammock for my feet often so I like putting my feet up etc.
COSTCO has 30 of these desks 3 weeks ago. I tried to get my cousin and friends to buy one. Now they are 100% SOLD OUT all the way to Winchester, Virginia (350 miles away) ..
Unavailable online.
As of yesterday, it was removed from online. 😞
they rotate in every year at Costco, the definitely sell them out each season!
This review was very detailed and helpful. I am curious to find out how you managed to hook the woofer under the table?
Ankit Awasthy I unscrewed the woofers casing. It has holes in the casing so I put a zip tie through the holes and then zipped it to the metal bar under the desk
I’ve had my desk a month. I WAS loving it but now have E3 error. It is stuck in “top” position. I’ve disconnected the sensor as was instructed but it hasn’t worked. It now won’t move at all. It’s going back to Costco. I wouldn’t recommend buying this desk; sad to say because it was going great. I just think it should work for more than 30 days.
Oh that’s unfortunate, it’s been six years with this desk now I think and it’s still going strong
one failed product doesn't cancel out all of the good ones, accidents happen. switch it out and try again.
I can’t move my desk up and down it is showing error I tried fix it but doesn’t worked ☹️ have to return
Oh no, that stinks!
interesting to see that it is more expensive now, just got mine used at a discount
what deal did you get?
the price fluxes even as low as 199
Costco brought it back to the bridgewater no store on May 4th 2019 for $325 there are 8 in stock as of right now
What's the UPC for this.
It's nearly impossible to find these online.
Awesome setup! 😎
Glad you like it!
Great review! I just bought one of the desks from Costco in black. It is fantastic. Question for you thoug
h. Where did you purchase your dual monitor mounting stand. It's just what I wanted.
here it is on amazon for only $25 www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018MU3SAS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I also ended up buying a large glass monitor stand www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0196KIZ9C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 but unfortunately it is now unavailable. I switched to a Mac mini for my desk comp so I have that under the stand now.
Do you think I can clamp my mic arm to this desk ??
definitely, I had a dual monitor arm clamp on it for a while and that weighs a ton (I was concerned for that) so a mic clamp will be fine
I'm so interesting on this desk. size and drawer is perfect for my style. I just check on costco website didn't have this desk. So sad
mkfever2005 they still have it at the bridgewater NJ Costco as of the other day, not sure if your near
@@BitnerBuilt I live in NYC. I am looking standing desk days and finally got a perfect one. I will still looking for it. Thank you for letting me know.
How do I lower the desk? When I press the down arrow it says bot or something cause it started going up on it's own then now it won't lower
Bot means bottom, it might be hitting something underneath and that’s its safety setting making it go back up
excellent overview thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi @Bitner Built, can you send a link to the second purchase you made to create the “L desk” with matching ‘white frost’ surface? Thanks!
Unfortunately, that desk is not for sale anymore
Aren't these monitors too close? I have a 32" monitor. I wonder if it's too big for this desk.
No you want them close as possible so it has the smallest Bessel jump. This video was years ago! I currently have 3 27in monitors on it (video editing) you can fit it
Does anybody know if Costco would restock on these desks? I went to 2 Costco’s today and couldn’t find them.
they have had them somewhat consistently since I made this video in 2018 - maybe they are out of stock due to covid, I would bet it will return, its been a solid seller
It is back.. just purchased mine today 7/21
@@chrischo621 which Costco branch?
Great review! Did you have to drill at all for the cables to route from the drawer out of the back to the monitors?
No there was enough of a gap in the back of the drawer for them to make it though
Costco. $199 in store. Through 2023.10.22.
👍
great review- where do you get the double arm for monitors???
Amber Amature thanks Amber here’s a link to it www.amazon.com/dp/B018MU3SAS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_8gkECbSNTSXFG
Is this unit around $26 on Amazon? There were a few choices/models...thanks
@amber Amature yes its the dual arm free standing one for $26
Great Job Buddy,,, Have anyone try the DIY SmartDesk Kit from Autonomous?
no what's that
Is the motor replaceable if it breaks? Basically what happens if the motor breaks?
that would be a warranty issue I would think. its easy to access the box the motor is in, just three screws if they sent a replacement perhaps
May I know the make and model of your monitors ? Im getting the same mount as you and would be interested in knowing the monitors you use. And are they good for day to day office work ?
I am using 2 of the Acer S271HL Display - I like them a lot, I do video editing and graphic design a lot and they are great. Not sure if they are still sold new ad I have had them a few years.
Did you keep the box and disassemble for your move or move it as is? I would be concerned about the glass top.
I am actually moving to my new house in 2 weeks (been a 4 yr process) I was thinking about it the other day I will prob keep the desk built and move whole. I have a enclosed trailer so its easy for me to do it that way. will be wrapping heavily with moving blankets.
When you stand and work on it, does it wobble while typing ?
no very sturdy when typing.
@@BitnerBuilt Awesome ! Going to Costco now to get it :D
Do you still have the desk a few years later? How durable is it?
very its 4 yrs now and still great no scratches
Could it be possible to zip tie a block of wood to the back of the desk and clamp the monitor stand to it? 🤔
Depending on how the clamp mounts yes, but if I were you I wouldn't use zip ties, I would drill 2-3 holes through the back metal bar so you could put a bolt through, wouldn't want my monitors hanging on by some zip ties
Anyone know if Costco is still selling this desk? I want it so bad. Standup desks are just too expensive, but this is really doable.
Chad Richards at my store they had it until very recently, not currently there unfortunately
online available in 400 but i do not like this as adjustable height is up to 45". My office has up to 60" but could not find anything similar in costco
Thanks for the review! What is the lowest height on it?
29.5in
I wish I could bought a white instead of black one to write on it :((( But anyway, I'm still pretty happy with the desk.
But then I realize somehow my H4 button is set to specific height and whenever I click on it, it's come to 3.19 ( the height I usually sit at). I cannot figure out how to program these button, do you have any ideas?
thank for your video sir!
Justin In Black you raise the desk to the height you want with the arrows then you hold the h(2-4) button for 5 seconds it will flash and your programmed. You know you can by neon dry erase markers that will show up on black!
@@BitnerBuilt thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!
How is the experience after 2 years? Does it get scratchy with the glass top?
nope still going great with no scratches 4 yrs on
What is that glass bulb looking thing under your desk?
Micah Smith that’s the Harmon kardon sound sticks sub woofer. The two clear glass looking sticks on top of the desk are the speakers that go with it
@@BitnerBuilt Sweet. Super clean setup. Thanks for the desk review.
I was thinking about getting this at costco, but its just not deep enough or wide enough, but do you think buying 2 and having them in an L shape is worth it?
possibly, I am purchasing a desk on amazon to place next to it to make an L that is made of the same color frosted glass www.amazon.com/dp/B00EUT6LX2/?coliid=I2JHHFNZNP8NOF&colid=30CPEN15PVR9F&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
Very informative review! Do you know whether a keyboard tray could be attached to the drawer?
@ Viola Huang-Beck I would say it possible but not Recomended. You could drill it into the metal tray and it definitely would stay but that tray is only held by the drawer slides so I think all that weight would eventually break the drawer off
blur1221 thank you!
@@BitnerBuilt Hi. Thanks for the review. I love how you set up all the cords. Cool idea using it as a white board, too. Do you think the drawer could be removed and a light keyboard tray be attached to the top (glass) via clamps? 29.5 is about 3" too high for me. How wide is the drawer?
@@timbock2 its around 28 inches wide for the drawer. Hanging it from the glass obviously screams breaking the glass so I wouldn't. You could possibly side mount the keyboard tray to the metal that runs underneath the glass the the drawer rails are mounted to, same principal there.
@@BitnerBuilt thanks! I think I'll get one and see what I can jury-rig.
Great review! Which dual monitor stand do you have?
Hi Jeff, Its from amazon, currently $32 WALI Free Standing Dual LCD Monitor Fully Adjustable Desk Mount Fits Two Screens up to 27”, 22 lbs. Weight Capacity per Arm (MF002), Black
@@BitnerBuilt Thank you! Very little wobble?
@@LtCore no wobble at all, very sturdy
hi do you feel that you are too close to the 27inch monitors? , would it be better if the desk was deeper, i am interested in buying but feel the 27 imac screen would be too close and i have limited room to go back and use the mouse and keyboard properly . Thanks
Michael Baskharon No not at all I’ve been debating actually going to a three monitor set up on the desk, but I do a lot of video editing And Photoshop. I have space on the desk for a wrist guard before my keyboard and then after the keyboard I am a gap where I have another stand for my phone before it gets to the raised platform for my monitors
I can’t even set it up because a cord is stuck under a metal plate that I can’t get out...
Aww that’s disapoonting
My desk doesn’t go up.Stuck in E3 error. Reset also didn’t help. Any ideas how to fix this?
sorry haven't encountered that yet. Perhaps unplug and wait a min before plugging back in. Some electronics hold a charge and don't reset right away. I tried looking for the manufacturer number for you but no luck. They still sell this at Costco so you always have (the inconvenient option of returning it for a swap)
I have the same E3 error. Can't find a fix. Did you solve?
puallie No, I didn’t . Going to return to Costco.
@blur1221 If I had a single monitor on a single C Clamp mount, do you think it would add too much stress? (The monitor is 11 pounds) Thx for the review too, it's hard to find info on this thing.
Drew Kingery so I had a dual clamp mount on there at first and was a little on edge about it breaking the glass. There is a air gap between the glass and the metal, if you do put a c clamp I would recommend wedging some cardboard in that gap to help support it
Thanks for the review I have been considering this desk for myself and my wife as we do work from home time to time. I wanted to ask what stand are you are using along with the monitors as I would like similar set up. If you can attache links that wouldbe awesome thanks again.
here's the link to the stand www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018MU3SAS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
@@BitnerBuilt Thanks, thats the one I thought it was also. Can you share what monitors those are?
@@fishingislife409 sure they are the acer S271HL Display
@@BitnerBuilt thank you very much cheers..
Glad I bought mine from Costco. It never worked from the beginning. The number for customer service for Tresanti puts you through a rat maze and then hangs up on you. It goes back to Costco today! Not worth the hassle of even putting it together.
aww sorry to hear that
I want to get this desk, but also have a clamped monitor, if I'm careful, would it be possible to use it or should I just avoid this product all together?
I got a great double monitor stand for it because I was scared my clamp would break it. I did use the clamp for a bit before the stand came, but its glass, I would expect a bad surprise suddenly one day if you use the clamp, though possibly you could add some precuts in the gap between the glass and the metal to make it more able to hold a load like that
@@BitnerBuilt thanks for the reply, brotha! I'll take that into consideration. Much appreciated!
is this dual motor or single motor?
No it’s a single motor located on the right side
Where do I find this desk with no wireless charger
I think the one with the wireless charger is now the current model they’re using
Hello! So I just got this desk, do you notice a wobble when you type? My Monitors and desk move when I'm typing, any idea on how to fix this?
@ Collin Ponzo no wobble here but I’m currently on carpet. I would guess your on a hard slightly uneven surface. I would put a folded piece of cardboard under the corner that is not firmly on the ground
HI- I am wondering if you know what the E3 message means. I assume error. Do you know how to fix it?
I only see it when the lock button is pressed and I try to raise the desk, try pushing the lock button on the side.
@@BitnerBuilt I tried pushing the button and still getting E3 error. Please help😢
@@isayah1997 Have you tried unplugging it from the wall for a minute and then plugging it back in again? Make sure you wait a little bit so that the electricity dissipates
Thanks for the review. I just got this table and want to set it up the same way as you did. Can you pls tell me the monitor stand you are using?
Sure thing, here’s the link to the stand on amazon, very happy with the stand as well WALI Free-Standing Dual LCD Monitor Fully Adjustable Desk Mount Fits Two Screens up to 27”, 22 lbs. Weight Capacity per Arm (MF002), Black www.amazon.com/dp/B018MU3SAS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_BrlGBb9KV1ND1
@@BitnerBuilt Hi bud. I bought the table thanks to your review and planning to buy the dual mount too. Do you need to drill or stick anything to the base ? And if not, do you think it'd be stable for a 24" and a 27" monitor ? Thanks.
Mine makes more noise than yours when it goes up and down - any advice?
Paul Phan no drilling or sticking needed as long as the feed of the monitor mount sit on the desk, mine done sway or move at all when the desk goes up or down, the movement is very smooth
Rose Mary hmm that’s a surprise, we’ll the motor that does all the movement, where the noise must be coming from, is in the metal box under the desk on the right, maybe put a piece of felt around that box (you could just tape it there at first and test it to see if it dampens the noise) just a wild guess here but hope it helps
Any tips on getting rid of the “motor oil” smell?!
That might be the smell from the packaging, when did you get the desk?
didn't have a smell with mine, odd!
May I ask how thick the table is?
2.75 in
does anyone know the model number of this desk? begins with "ODP"
Sorry I dont
About to buy this desk... it is sooo heavy!
ChelyAmour yes it is
Yes but 4years on it’s still great
Just bought for $229
Nice!
No clampable desktop is a no go for me dawg
its still worth it 4 years on though!
Wow, this is $400 right now.
it goes down in price each season when they bring it out.
