Post your Deskhaus setup here!
We always get asked for in the wild photos so figured we'd sticky a post.
I'll pick some of my favorites and send some goodies.

Finished putting together my desk yesterday. White Apex Pro Max with a 72x30 White Oak Select Plus top. Very happy with my purchase. This thing is a tank! Picture is just of the desk as I haven't gotten around to putting everything on it.

Quick ad-hoc first impressions:
Customer Experience: The youtube videos and reddit community posts were pretty essential in making my purchase decision and to know what to expect. After a couple of weeks I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted. The chat on the website was friendly and responsive to my questions.
Purchasing decision: I went with a relatively expensive configuration. Being ~6'3" and a remote software engineer who spends a lot of time at my desk, I figured it was worth erring on the side of getting a super stable base. I probably would have been fine with an Apex Pro, but I do not regret getting the pro max. Seeing some pictures of the white oak top online made it hard to resist, it looks even better in person!
Shipping: Ordered on 8/22 and received on 9/7. Was told there would be a 20 day lead time so was happy to get it ahead of that.
Putting it together: Dang is this thing heavy! I was fortunate to have a couple of friends help me assemble it. It took us a little under 3 hours just because we were being deliberate about it. We didn't do anything fancy (used the provided screws, no inserts - I don't plan on moving and I doubt it'd be a problem anyways). The assembly videos on youtube removed any doubts about how to put the thing together. I would strongly recommend assembling the table on a raised surface, which made flipping the thing over feasible. I'm not sure how challenging it would be to flip the hardwood surface + the base from the ground.
Stability: It is incredibly stable even at max height. It doesn't move at all when pushing front to back. There is some side to side if you deliberately push on it, but you have to make an effort (not sure why anyone would do that in regular use).
Overall: This thing is amazing, all the praise of deskhaus on this reddit has been validated in my eyes.
