Flexispot E7 Pro Review
Hi all,
A few things to note upfront in the interest of full transparency.
- I purchased this desk frame using the discount code provided by exmosss in the discount codes thread. That said, I had already decided to go with FlexiSpot before coming across the thread.
- I’m writing this review because there is an incentive to do so, and I probably wouldn’t have posted a review otherwise. However, these are my genuine views. At no point has the incentive been dependent on providing anything other than an honest reflection of the product.
After recently reshuffling our home office setups, I needed a new sit/stand desk frame. This is my second sit/stand desk, as I already own an Artiss frame purchased back in 2020.
The desk is for work use, so around 30–40 hours per week. I primarily sit, but do use the standing function throughout the day.
I researched the market pretty thoroughly, and if you’re reading this, you can probably appreciate how difficult it is to find genuinely unbiased information on sit/stand desks. I ruled out the Amazon/budget options because stability issues seemed to be a common theme, but I also didn’t feel the need to go for an ultra-premium or quad-motor desk, as that level of stability wasn’t essential for me.
For that reason, I felt FlexiSpot sat in a nice middle ground: better quality and stability than the budget options, without the price tag of the premium alternatives.
What I’ve liked
- Communication from FlexiSpot was very good, and shipping was fast. I received the frame within a couple of days. I later ordered a drawer from FlexiSpot as well, and that arrived in three days.
- The frame itself is heavy, stable, and honestly doesn’t really feel like a sit/stand desk when you’re using it. It feels rock solid.
- Despite some confusion during installation, which I’ll mention below, the desk is quite intuitive and easy to put together. It took around 30–40 minutes in total.
- The included cable management system is also very good. It’s worth noting that this is included in the price, unlike with some comparable brands.
- The desk also moves up and down very quickly — noticeably faster than other sit/stand desks I’ve used.
What I haven’t liked
- The instructions are a bit confusing. Luckily, the desk itself isn’t especially complicated to assemble. There was a whole set of screws that I didn’t seem to need — I believe these were the B screws — and they didn’t appear to be referenced in either the written or video instructions.
- The packaging arrived fairly dented, and there was a small chip on the frame. I wasn’t overly concerned, as it was superficial and in a spot that can’t be seen once the desk is assembled. I’ve included a photo for reference.
- The drawer is also quite small. It doesn’t even fit a controller. That’s admittedly my fault for not checking the dimensions properly, but it’s worth keeping in mind if you’re considering ordering a drawer with the frame.
Overall
I would recommend the E7 Pro to anyone in a similar position: someone looking for a sit/stand desk that doesn’t break the bank, but still offers a good level of quality, stability, and overall finish.
