I just got it today! Installed the frame to my tabletop and plan on doing some testing with it tomorrow and will update on its sturdiness. But if weight has anything to do with sturdiness....this should be quite sturdy lol. (Two people needed like the instructions say to turn the table over right side up is definitely not a suggestion)

I got e7 plus max a couple of months ago and am very happy with purchase. One thing to note about e7 plus max was that it doesn’t come with pre drilled holes. I had to spend some muscle power to align it properly before drilling because you have to assemble the frame first and then put it on top of the table top. The frame is extremely heavy and aligning it before drilling was particularly painful. The drilling part was easy

This is my first standing desk for my home office, and my main priority was finding something that wouldn't wobble. The desk at my day job has two legs and my monitors shake every time I type, which is a little distracting. After some research, I landed on the four-leg FlexiSpot E7 Plus Max. Since it has four legs and four motors, I figured this would be a pretty nice desk. I compared the E7 plus max to a couple competitors such as Desk Haus Peak Pro and the uplift V2. I felt the E7 plus max provided the best value and loved having the different desktop options to choose from at the product page. I haven't physically seen the others in person, but the e7 plux max is built with great quality and I don't see any sacrifice in this regards for getting that good value. I got the 55x28 inch rubberwood top in espresso. First impression taking it out of the box is that this thing is beefy. The legs and feet are really heavy, and it definitely feels like a quality piece of hardware. The stability is exactly what I was hoping for. I’m happy to report that whether it’s at my sitting height (26") or standing height (40.9"), the desk is solid as a rock. No monitor wobble at all while I'm typing. It’s a huge improvement. A couple of notes on the top I got. The espresso color is richer and not bland as it looks on the website, which I was happy about. Also, if you’re measuring for a tight space, the top wasn’t exactly 55x28—I measured it at 55 1/8" by 27 5/8". Not a big deal, but something to be aware of. This could help for cable management planning though underneath the desk. The biggest project was cable management. The desk has two metal crossbars underneath (one front, one back), which makes it a bit tricky. FlexiSpot gives you a magnetic cover that neatly hides the desk’s motor and power cables, which is a good start. But I have a ton of other stuff—computer connections, speakers, chargers, a KVM switch, and two thunderbolt hubs—so I bought a large Humanscale NeatTech mesh tray to wrangle it all. This is where I had to get creative. To install the tray's hooks at the back, I needed about 4.2 inches of clearance. The desk frame only gave me 3.6 inches of space from the edge of the desk to the crossbar. Thankfully, the fix was easy: I just moved the rear crossbar forward an inch, which gave me the space I needed. It means I have a little less clearance at the front (about 2.6 inches), but there's still a ton of open space in the middle, and it works perfectly for my setup. For the install of the frame to the desk top, there were pre-dilled holes but I could not use those exact spots because I have to move the rear crossbar forward an inch to install the cable management hooks from humanscale. So making sure the crossbars and side brackets were completely straight was a challenge, I did that by measuring how far they were to the end of the desk top, but I am sure each person might come up with a different way for this part. I did not want to drill the pilot holes before making sure these were completely straight. If this sounds a little challenging, I would watch some helpful tutorials online on how to install a standing desk frame to a desk top to give you some ideas. As for using it day-to-day, the motors are pretty fast and not too loud. You can hear them, but it’s a smooth sound, not jarring. The keypad is also great, and the lock feature has already proven essential thanks to my infant who loves to press buttons. Overall, I'm really happy with it. It completely checks off everything I wanted.

My Deskhaus Peak Pro with 3 monitors (2 34" UW + 1 27") has no wobble with all of them on monitor arms. This is for both sitting (26") and standing (41") heights. I think the Deskhaus Peak Pro and the new Flexispot E7 Plus Max are the best you can get for least wobble?

I think the Peak Pro you can get for about 800 shipped. Around the same for the E7 Plus max? Worth the extra $100 imo. Mine has been problem free and no wobble. Plus, these standing desks will last years as they all have 10-15year warranty. Just need to change the desktop if you want something new. Worth the extra $$ if you spend 5-6+ hours a day at it.

Buy both and see for yourself. I think you’ll see and feel the difference in quality between the two with the E7 Pro being better. If you truly want a stable platform. It’s their E7 Plus Max.

I'd be willing to bet the 2-Leg E7 Pro is more stable than the E7 Plus given our testing of the E7 Plus. You're also not dealing with two hex rods to drive the columns. There's a reason the frames are so closely priced. The 2-Leg is the best version of it while the Plus is a stripped down 4-leg made to give the appearance of stability. >The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten. - Benjamin Franklin (supposedly)

I got the same frame for my butcher block desk (72" x 36") and love it!

Yeah that model is one of the most expensive in the flexispot catalogue at 1000 USD. With brands like that you need to look out for sales because the full price is often wildly inflated, especially for their "premium" models. I have an E7 Plus Max and love it. I got it on black friday sale for 600 USD (usually 750 USD). The E7 Plus has four legs like the E7 Plus Max, except with two motors instead of four, and that's on sale now for 500 USD (but is typically 600.) Also these prices are just for the frame, I don't know if you have your own desk top or not lol

I have the plus max, which I know is a slightly higher price point, but I would highly recommend it. I often have it up close to 50 inches when using a walking pad and it's very solid. I'm not entirely sure how to describe the difference in the feet between the plus and the plus max, but I think they did something slightly different with them that makes it's a little more stable on the plus max.
