Lifts up easy thanks to the hydraulics. Buts its hard to push down. I lift weights five days a week, usually heavy too. I have to lean on the unit when it is extended up, and push down with my body weight and muscle force and rock back and forth to get this thing to go down. While rocking back and forth, when im coming forward I push down on the unit and it slides down about 2 inches, repeat repeat repeat and its down. Its not a big deal cuz I can do it but my mom is is 52 and 90lbs could no way do it. I dont know if its my unit or they are all like this. Other than that it is sturdy and does what it supposed too. I really like being able to stand at my desk.
Good for the price
