The HomePro is packed with great care to ensure that it is optimally protected during transport. The sturdy cardboard box provides a reliable layer of protection to ensure that the components arrive at their destination undamaged. Despite the avoidance of unnecessary packaging waste, the use of plastic film could be considered critical for some consumers. The product packaging contains the individual components of the height-adjustable frame, a table top and the electronics. A multilingual, illustrated instruction manual is also included.

*Themaximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.8 stars. A few people criticise the fact that shipping did not go smoothly. On the other hand, the high quality, well thought-out design, quiet motor and simple assembly are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm the positive points. However, we cannot understand the criticism from consumers.
Prices of over €1,300 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €120 . The HomePro in the 160×80 cm size from Desktronic is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €469.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
