The lift itself seems to be of good quality and works well. It's a great value for the money. It is pretty slow, it takes about 32 seconds to fully lift my 24" monitor (30 sec. to put it back down). It's certainly not silent; it's got a bit of a growl to it. I would hesitate to operate with someone else sleeping in the room, but it's not terribly loud, especially once installed behind or inside furniture. It is pretty strong. A piece of wood from the desk I was building accidentally fell into the top of the lift slide (the cap wasn't on because I was testing the unit) and it totally crushed it. It will lift much more than I'm asking for sure.Some people had issues with the wireless remote being "upside-down" or having to push the buttons twice to get it to operate. The upside-down issue can be solved by turning the remote around so the buttons are at the top (there are no markings to indicate which way us up). This may confuse some people because the indicator light is (when oriented correctly) below the buttons, which could be counter-intuitive.The double press problem is real, but only happens in specific circumstances and is not an issue under the normal course of operation. When you press a button (up or down) it kicks on the power on to raise or lower the lift for about a minute or so. The lift moves and stops at the limit of the direction of travel, but the internal switch is still on until it times out. If you press the opposite button before the internal switch disengages automatically the press will simply turn off the internal switch. A second press is required to then start the lift in the other direction. Since you don't normally sit there raising and lowering the lift, it is unlikely, except during testing or demonstrating your awesomeness for friends that you will ever need to double press the remote buttons. But, just be aware that this can happen.I did have a problem with the power supply. It failed before I even got the unit installed after a couple
