Common User Issues and Concerns
Consumers are generally pleased with the performance of the TrekDesk treadmill attachment. A majority of customers found it easy to assemble the unit, reporting that it took less than an hour to set up the workstation with an already existing treadmill.
However, there were some users who found the instruction manual a little limited as there were only a few pictures included in the step by step guide. Furthermore, with the large number of screws that need to be used in the assembly, it would have been easier if these were segregated according to size and placed in different bags.
Another issue that some customers brought up is that this desk is more suitable for treadmills with side control panels. It was observed that if the control panel is located on the front side of the treadmill, the tabletop setting can somewhat block the view and access controls on the treadmill.
Although considered to be an overall useful and stable workstation, some consumers are not very pleased with the amount of space that it occupies. According to some customers, it’s too big to be placed in small rooms as the combination of treadmill and trek desk can really take over the entire area.
