Flexispot Standing Desk Review …Flexispot 40\”…
Cons: What I Didn’t Like About the Flexispot E7
The cons on this desk are very little, here are a couple of features that I wasn’t necessarily a huge fan of:
The bundle that the desk can be found in was heavy, so bringing it inside was a group effort, however this is simply a repercussion of how durable the Flexispot is.
The convenient cable television tray was a bit confusing to install. In the end, you eventually slip it under screws, which wasn’t extremely clear from the instructions.
You will need to purchase an anti-fatigue mat to remain comfortable, but this is a great concept for any standing desks, so I can’t fault Flexispot for that.
When it got here and I saw how heavy it was, I was both thrilled (because this suggested it was going to be tough) and also a little hesitant (since we all understand how much of a difficulty putting together furnishings can be).
Luckily, with the help of an instructional YouTube link, it took me only around 42 minutes to assemble. Scratch that, it took my 11-year-old child, with some guidance from me, from start to finish. The only problem I have with assembly was the cable television tray, which I found wasn’t discussed well in the directions.
As soon as assembled, I enjoy the sleek look of this desk. I’m confident any of the many varied surfaces that it can be found in would look terrific in any workplace, and the adjustable width makes it easy to fit it in even the tiniest of home offices.
The quiet operation and height memory settings make it easy, efficient, and quiet to change in between sitting and standing as many times as you desire throughout the day.
Finally, this desk is durable. It can hold up to 335 pounds even while in operation, so if you have a significant desktop computer (or wish to take a nap on it for some reason) it has you covered. It will also equally distribute weight no matter how out of balance the weight you put on it is, it won’t wobble or wiggle.
because video is pretty kitted out as the desk we’re taking a look at today is pretty basic I tried to get as close to that as I might on uplifts website with similar configurations the flexi area desk we’re taking a look at today will run you about four hundred and 10 dollars versus 6 hundred and fifty for a comparable desk from uplift I try to get as close as possible with the uplift model is actually 5 inches longer however you can do a lot with five inches boom yes now for transparency flexi spot did send this desk out for evaluation however as you need to understand by now does not affect my evaluation in any way the desktop here is 55 inches broad 28 inches deep and comes as a $40 upgrade from the base size of 48 by thirty sixty by thirty is coming however it’s not delivering until the end of April at the earliest the desktop is an inch thick but it’s this fundamental laminate as you can possibly get lacking even any cable television grommets for pass through the outdoors carton
for the desktop was not damaged in any way which is entirely unusual since I might shoot a 30-second b-roll montage of just the damage and flaws on this desktop scuffed scraped pitted simply super rough man if I had bought this I ‘d have been on the phone with customer support right away they did also managed to miss drilling the pilot holes where you can attach the control box to the desktop a lot of needing to do that myself without mistakenly drilling through the opposite of the desktop so yeah pilot holes in wood screws is how you’re gon na be connecting the surface area to the frame that’s a far cry from the embedded metal inserts that we saw on the uplift desk so assembly aside from having to drill that top was in fact pretty simple the entire thing came together in about 45 minutes and despite the fact that there’s cables running to it from each component to support motorized function strangely absolutely where any sort of cable television management materials whatsoever the frame on this unit is a single motor double stage style versus the dual motor three-stage design that comes standard with the uplift desk this can be updated as well to both the double stage dual motor and a three-stage double motor which pushes the cost of the desk up
an extra 70 dollars the frame is developed for a max load of 154 pounds and it moves at a rate at an inch per second the height can vary from simply under 28 inches to simply over forty 7 point 6 inches so a max I ‘d it is more than high sufficient even for me and I remain at 6 foot for this model does come basic with the control panel that allows for up-and-down motion plus 3 memory areas with an LED readout to inform you the desk height the single motor design uses this drive shaft assembly which needs to be changed as the width of the desk is adjusted the motor operation itself while it might be sluggish is extremely quiet as in barely audible this outside a cost would be the one benefit I would provide this system over the uplift desk and I wish to take care here due to the fact that this isn’t a hit piece this desk is 240 dollars less expensive than the equivalent uplift design over 35% cheaper even if you update this flexi spot test to the dual motor three-stage style it still is available in a hundred and seventy dollars cheaper than the uplift but less expensive does not indicate low-cost this desk is still over four hundred dollars if I had actually paid over $400 for this desk I ‘d have an issue with that the front to back stability of this desk is solid even if max height I’ll certainly offer it that however the lateral stability of this desk the horizontal movement at this cost point it’s undesirable it’s rub salt in the wound here they consist of a little safety baffle this little steel piece that installs to the frame and covers a portion of this turning driveshaft when
this desk sees any lateral motion at all the drive shaft hits the sound and this baffle is absolutely frustrating to leading things off I decided to add rolling casters to this desk this was a $30 upgrade and two of those 4 casters showed up harmed too my plan for this desk at this point is to lose the desk top and featured all together and replace it with a white laminate lemon table from Ikea and utilize it as an adjustable image table which you can’t do this frame will accommodate desktops as much as 63 inches broad and 31 and a half inches deep so this will roll around the studio make it simpler to movie items without needing to change complex or heavy slider setups and what I personally pay $400 for that no I lucked out that I found uplift initially that is an investment in quality office furniture that will last you this at best seems like a cheaper imitation of that it just does not feel quality and the distinction in between this desk and my primary desk is night and day do feel free to check out their website as well which also feels eerily comparable to among their rivals there’s a wealth of accessories you can get for the flexi area desk approximately and consisting of a foot massager and even a stationary exercise bike and I could spend another 10 minutes of our precious time covering different options and accessories I might however I believe I’m better that they just sent a standard desk since as a standard desk I’m not a fan of the quality assurance at this cost point and I don’t think slapping on a bunch of extras is the move when the core product isn’t what it should be they do offer a 30-day trial if you’re just morbidly curious and they guarantee their desks for three years really desk is five years and uplift desk is 7 years if you are Flexispot 40\”
in the market for a sit-stand desk they’re incredible mine’s been a life changer for me both in regards to gaming and productivity however I would invest the extra money it’s gon na require to enter into a higher end producer like uplift desk or really desk and I have not personally utilized very desk products so I can’t speak on it however their track record is very good big thanks to flexi spot for sending this out for review regrettably I can not advise this system and for the record I’m a hundred percent sure they would have gladly replaced the parts that I had a problem with viewing as how both the desktop and the casters showed up damaged however from a customer viewpoint you ‘d probably be truly excited to get this in
