I purchased the Autonomous SmartDesk 2. I got the ergonomic cutout top, and the heavier duty (and longer travel) motors. Assembly was fairly straightforward, there were a couple minor machining tolerances issues, but nothing that required extra hammering or drilling to get around. I did run into a problem when I misplaced the manual and the manual available online didn't actually match my desk, so the electronic functions seemed to be broken, but it all worked fine when I got a hold of the correct set of directions.
I've used it professionally for awhile now. It's noticeable to my co-workers when the motors run, but I get more comments about lording my station over everyone than about making noise. After initial set-up I've not had any problems with the electronics at all. It's sturdy enough that I have no problems putting some weight on the desk when I need extra support or need to reach behind my monitor.
I use the standing function more some days than others, depending on my health that day. In combination with my bench I have a large array of sitting, standing, and kneeling positions to rotate between depending on my current needs, although the only two settings I've put into the memory are normal sitting and normal standing.
I do wish I'd made the bench after getting the desk, I could benefit from sitting a bit lower, which the desk would allow. The bench was made for proper arm height relative to my prior desk.
The attachment of the control panel to the desk may have suffered in it's recent move, but electrically everything still works, once I set it up again I might unscrew the panel and see if it needs a bit of glue or wood putty somewhere.
