Flexispot - E7 Plus

I have one (Flexispot). I didn't pay that much for mine though. Got it on Amazon, and picked up the wooden bit from IKEA (I got the cheap, fake wood... Been meaning to replace that with some proper wood but it's not been a priority). I don't have any extension leads or anything like that with mine, but I had plenty lying around so just stuck one to the underneath of the desk. It's been fine for the last 4 years. I keep saying I'll 3D print one of those honeycomb kits to do proper cable management, but again it's not been a priority so far. I use it regularly. I was getting back problems before (and I have a pretty decent / comfy chair), but that's disappeared since being able to stand. If it does break, I'll replace it with another one without hesitating.

I bought one in early August and it's changed my life. I have mobility and other health challenges, and am a little shorter than average. It's not so much about the option to stand - adjusting just even my ideal sitting height without extra finicky life hacks (eg footrests) was a relief. I will say, though, that a lot of adjustable desks don't automatically solve height challenges for very short or very tall people unless you ensure you're getting an "extended range" model. Unfortunately many companies don't offer that. The few that do offer one or two out of their entire collection; a few will charge a premium! So sit-stand desks still require a bit of careful research and planning before purchase. That said, the flexibility suits my ergonomic needs much better than getting a static desk customized would have. I also like the ability to raise my desk to its maximum height for non-strenuous cable management. I just sit in my office chair and tinker comfortably. Added castor wheels to my setup so it makes it more of a breeze. Edit: just in case anyone's shopping for a desk based on height comfort needs, a tip I was given was to seek desks with legs that have three collapsing columns (or "three stage legs") vs just two collapsing columns. Specific affordable models: 1) the MITZZON (Ikea) 2) the E7 Pro Plus (Flexispot). I own the latter. So far, I'm very content.

**Hi,** I wanted to share my first standing desk setup. I probably spent too much time researching all the bits and pieces, so hopefully this saves you some time. Since I'm mentioning a few products - I haven't been paid by any of the brands to post this. It started with wanting to simply get standing desk to help with my back - and turned into room redecoration & realization that I operate better in a clean set up with few distractions in my field of view. # Desk – Flexispot E7 Plus + 40mm Solid Oak Worktop Being in the UK, the choice of 4-leg standing desks is more limited than in the US. I was deciding between Flexispot’s E7Q, E7 Plus, or waiting for the upcoming E7 Plus Max. After watching a bunch of YouTube reviews, I was a bit concerned about the E7 Plus’s stability — it felt like a compromise. But with the deal I found, I went for it. In my setup, I don’t notice wobble, whether standing or walking on the treadmill. My heavy monitors and desktop probably add stability. If I deliberately push side-to-side, yes, there’s some movement. The only time it was really noticeable was when I knocked my head against the legs while doing cable management. The raise/lower speed is fine. There are faster desks out there, but I’ve never wished this one was quicker. It reacts gently if something’s in the way. I might consider the E7 Plus Max in the future, mainly because it can extend to the full width of my desktop (190 cm). I added shelves underneath using sturdy C-brackets to hold a USB-C charger, Schiit units, and headphones (hook coming soon). This keeps the desktop clear. Assembly was straightforward — just pre-drill holes in hardwood and use non-reactive screws (I went with stainless). The single brace is sufficient for my thick oak worktop, but with thinner wood I’d want extra reinforcement. The only part I needed help with was flipping it upright. # Lightbar – BenQ Halo2 Got it on a Black Friday discount. I can’t compare with other light bars, but my evening eye strain is basically gone. I never have to adjust it — the auto detection works perfectly. # Walking Pad – Flexispot GP01 Quiet, works well, and I chose it mainly for the 2-year warranty (most others are 1) and 60-day return policy. Walking pads are one of those things people often stop using, so the return option gave me peace of mind. The only quirk: I can’t figure out how to switch it off with the remote, so I use a smart socket. Typing, reading, or watching something while walking is fine. Using a mouse is trickier, but dropping the speed with a shortcut helps. # Wobble Board – Fluidstance Plane I wanted a cushioned surface so I wouldn’t need shoes. This board nails it. The width feels natural, and I can type and use my mouse comfortably. If you find a cheaper board that meets your priorities, go for it — but this one works great for me. (And honestly, spare yourself from looking at Reddit wobble board reviews — most are from the COVID era and read like blatantly written by the companies themselves.) # Setup Process * **Cable Management:** Long and painful. I tried magnets, but velcro straps were the most efficient. The desk frame makes a brilliant anchor point. * **Redecorating the Room:** Before starting a project like this, think carefully about your goals. I initially thought about replacing the desk, but once I cleared the clutter I noticed the walls were marked. That led me to repaint the room (E7 Plus makes an amazing platform for painting), then build a wooden panel to cover damaged wallpaper. Through this process I started appreciating a cleaner setup: I moved a shelving unit to the wall behind me and kept as few items as possible on the desk and in my field of view. As a finishing touch, I used a 10 cm offcut from the desk to make a small shelf under the whiteboard.

Hey thanks for the info. Honestly I don't have much wobble on my E7 Advanced when it's all the way up. As for the assembly, I can manage a few holes, but I have a hard time to find a local woodshop that sell top like I want for a fair price.

Flexispot, it at least seems ramez is able to resolve things if a problem comes up. Other 2 customer service seems nonexistent

FlexiSpot is a great bet for a budget-friendly and reliable desk. They have a solid reputation and good customer service for parts if you ever need them. VIVO is another excellent choice, and they even let you buy spare parts directly from their website, which is a huge plus for long-term repairs.

Yes, but you do have to be disciplined to use it: at times I forget mine is a sit/stand desk because I just sit my arse down out of habit!! But they do make a difference for sure. I bought a FlexiSpot chassis (forget which one exactly - E7 or variant maybe?) and then a nice oak worktop from a company that just does worktops and fitted it myself. Super sturdy, fast to go up and down and holds plenty of weight. Get a dual motor variant if you can.

I have a flexispot - absolutely no issues. Love mine!!

Tenho a E7, o tampo para já é provisório porque quero fazer o meu próprio tampo. Quanto à mesa, estou muito satisfeito

Flexispot has been great for my needs and got some cable truncheon that has cable holes all along it for exit points, sticky back aswell with a small cable tray for my extension lead, then a snake thing that goes to the plug on the wall and the desk that’s flexible and hides leads to sockets, looks so clean not a cable insight. The desk is strong and sturdy with a great finish

Had someone mentioned Flexispot yet? Bought my on Amazon, no regrets. You are right for making a go with a standing desk, totally worth it. You can also buy a big one, install 3 monitors and work like a boss. Best feeling ever, and makes window-management and multitasking a breeze. Averages are that you should be standing up at least 12h a day (not standing 12 hours, but at least 15 minutes stand every hour for 12 hours), that’s why the standing desk is a must.

I have a flexidesk standing desk. love it. 32" + 27" monitor with keyboards, mouse, shelf, laptop, dock..etc. only that doesn't have is my PC which is on another shelf. but u can easily fit a PC on there if u only have 1 monitor.(or put it in the back and hide it.

"but I can barely find genuine user reviews elsewhere" Thats the problem with most items. They ship those crap to hundreds of Youtuber and TikToker and everything "amazing". Until just one guy came along and showed how ridiculously poor the quality is. Unusable at full height. Thats regardless of Stance, Flexispot & Other desks. Lots of those tables habe just slightly different design and same motors. Just rebranding...

I bought the flexispot one for £200, and its been great

Anything from Flexispot that is E7 and above. I would suggest the E7 Plus but u/Ramzes888 can help.

If you like the look of your PC and have space - why not on top! Also it all depends how big your desktop is. For mounting you desktop it - I would look at size of the frames for E7 Pro & E7 Plus that you're considering and see where you could fit it. With e7 Plus you might struggle to fit the mount and PC inside of the frame. If you fit it outside, than you have to make the frame narrow which takes away the space... just do a bit of lego on the drawing of dimensions. I was a bit too optimistic in terms of space, until I received the PC mount and realized it's not as easy as I thought.

E7 Plus is the most stable model since it has 4 legs. That's the better option.

I think mine goes down to 23in

Same but not short. Happy w the flexispot e7
