Flexispot Standing Desk Evaluation …32 Flexispot Unboxing…
Cons: What I Didn’t Like About the Flexispot E7
The cons on this desk are minimal, here are a couple of functions that I wasn’t always a big fan of:
The package that the desk can be found in was heavy, so bringing it inside was a group effort, but this is simply a repercussion of how durable the Flexispot is.
The hassle-free cable television tray was a little bit complicated to install. In the end, you eventually slip it under screws, which wasn’t really clear from the instructions.
You will need to purchase an anti-fatigue mat to stay comfy, however this is a good concept for any standing desks, so I can’t fault Flexispot for that.
When it showed up and I saw how heavy it was, I was both ecstatic (given that this implied it was going to be sturdy) and also a little hesitant (because we all understand how much of a challenge assembling furniture can be).
The good news is, with the help of an instructional YouTube link, it took me only around 42 minutes to put together. Scratch that, it took my 11-year-old daughter, with some supervision from me, from start to finish. The only hang-up I have with assembly was the cable tray, which I discovered wasn’t described well in the instructions.
As soon as assembled, I enjoy the sleek appearance of this desk. I’m confident any of the many diverse surfaces that it comes in would look excellent in any office, and the adjustable width makes it simple to fit it in even the smallest of home offices.
The quiet operation and height memory settings make it simple, efficient, and quiet to change between sitting and standing as sometimes as you want throughout the day.
This desk is sturdy. It can hold up to 335 lbs even while in operation, so if you have a substantial desktop computer (or want to take a nap on it for some reason) it has you covered. It will also equally disperse weight no matter how unbalanced the weight you put on it is, it won’t wobble or wiggle.
because video is quite kitted out as the desk we’re taking a look at today is pretty standard I attempted to get as near to that as I could on uplifts site with equivalent setups the flexi spot desk we’re looking at today will run you about four hundred and ten dollars versus 6 hundred and fifty for a similar desk from uplift I attempt to get as close as possible with the uplift model is in fact 5 inches longer but you can do a lot with 5 inches boom yes now for transparency flexi area did send this desk out for evaluation but as you ought to understand by now doesn’t impact my review in any way the desktop here is 55 inches large 28 inches deep and comes as a $40 upgrade from the base size of 48 by thirty sixty by thirty is coming but it’s not shipping till completion of April at the earliest the desktop is an inch thick however it’s this fundamental laminate as you can possibly get lacking even any cable grommets for travel through the outside carton
for the desktop was not damaged in any way which is utterly unusual due to the fact that I might shoot a 30-second b-roll montage of simply the damage and defects on this desktop scuffed scraped pitted simply extremely rough male if I had actually acquired this I ‘d have been on the phone with customer support immediately they did likewise managed to miss drilling the pilot holes where you can attach the control box to the desktop a great deal of having to do that myself without accidentally drilling through the opposite of the desktop so yeah pilot holes in wood screws is how you’re gon na be attaching the surface area to the frame that’s a far cry from the ingrained metal inserts that we saw on the uplift desk so assembly aside from needing to drill that top was really pretty uncomplicated the whole 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 type of cable television management materials whatsoever the frame on this unit is a single motor double phase style versus the double motor three-stage design that comes requirement with the uplift desk this can be upgraded too to both the dual stage dual motor and a three-stage dual motor which pushes the expense of the desk up
an additional 70 bucks the frame is designed for a max load of 154 pounds and it moves at a rate at an inch per 2nd the height can range from simply under 28 inches to just over forty 7 point 6 inches so a max I ‘d it is more than high adequate even for me and I stay at 6 foot for this model does come basic with the control panel that permits up-and-down movement plus three memory areas with an LED readout to inform you the desk height the single motor design uses this drive shaft assembly which has to be changed as the width of the desk is changed the motor operation itself while it might be slow is very quiet as in barely audible this outside a rate would be the one benefit I would offer this system over the uplift desk and I want to take care here due to the fact that this isn’t a hit piece this desk is 240 dollars less expensive than the similar uplift design over 35% cheaper even if you update this flexi area test to the dual motor three-stage style it still can be found in a hundred and seventy dollars less expensive than the uplift however more affordable does not suggest inexpensive this desk is still over four hundred dollars if I had 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 absolutely provide it that however the lateral stability of this desk the horizontal motion at this rate point it’s inappropriate 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 movement at all the drive shaft hits the sound and this baffle is definitely infuriating to leading things off I chose to include rolling casters to this desk this was a $30 upgrade and two of those four casters arrived harmed also my plan for this desk at this point is to lose the desk top and came with all together and replace it with a white laminate lemon table from Ikea and use it as an adjustable image table which you can’t do this frame will accommodate desktops approximately 63 inches broad and 31 and a half inches deep so this will roll around the studio make it easier to film items without having to change complex or heavy slider setups and what I personally pay $400 for that no I lucked out that I discovered uplift first that is an investment in quality workplace furniture that will last you this at finest seems like a less expensive replica of that it simply does not feel quality and the distinction in between this desk and my main desk is night and day do feel free to check out their website as well which likewise feels eerily comparable to among their competitors there’s a wealth of devices you can get for the flexi spot desk approximately and including a foot massager and even a stationary exercise bike and I could invest another 10 minutes of our valuable time covering different options and accessories I could however I think I’m happier that they only sent out a fundamental desk because as a standard desk I’m not a fan of the quality assurance at this rate point and I do not think slapping on a bunch of extras is the move when the core product isn’t what it should be they do provide a 30-day trial if you’re simply morbidly curious and they warranty their desks for three years extremely desk is five years and uplift desk is seven years if you are 32 Flexispot Unboxing
in the market for a sit-stand desk they’re amazing mine’s been a life changer for me both in terms of gaming and efficiency but I would invest the extra money it’s gon na require to enter a higher end maker like uplift desk or very desk and I haven’t personally utilized very desk products so I can’t speak on it however their track record is excellent huge thanks to flexi area for sending this out for evaluation unfortunately I can not suggest this system and for the record I’m a hundred percent sure they would have gladly changed the parts that I had an issue with viewing as how both the desktop and the casters showed up damaged but from a customer standpoint you ‘d probably be really excited to get this in
