E7 Premium Standing Desk

I went with flexispot e7 t-frame and $200 solid wood butcher block. The butcher block could admittedly be a bit nicer, but it is solid solid wood with a nice finish. Got the frame on sale too, all in $450 dollars. I was looking at a ~2.5k room and board desk and can't imagine going through with it anymore.

We have two standing desk setups, both frames are from different brands. My setup: 200cm x 70cm x 4cm Solid Mahogany Tabletop - 10k Flexispot E7 Premium (Dual Motors) - 17k Around 80kg payload Wife's setup: 120cm x 70cm x 4cm Solid Mahogany Tabletop - 6k Mxtark dual motors - 6k Around 50kg payload The build quality is different; the Flexispot is even more solid than the Mxtark's, and it is faster when switching positions. But, looking back, I think it would have been fine for me to go with the Mxtark's for both. The most important factors for me are the dual motors option and the choice of tabletops. Do not ever opt for the first-party tabletops, especially if they are just particle boards. Always go for a high-quality solid tabletop. It can last you for years, and you will be able to use multiple monitor arms without issues.

6k+ (like from the mxstark) for the frame alone is good basta dual motor and rated 100kg+ payload. I waited for the sale to get the flexispot e7 premium for 16.5k last time. There's no need to upgrade from that unless you really want luxury like the C form factor from the e7 pro or the 4 leg option of the odin. For the tabletop non nego ang solid wood for me. It's what I will be touching everyday after all. Got mine from tabla primera but you can always ask your local woodshops for your spec.

word of advice: when getting flexispot e7, get the FlexiSpot E7 Pro Premium (the off center one) instead of this FlexiSpot E7 Premium (centered bridge). you'll hate it when your knee caps bang onto the support railing in the middle.

i ran into the exact same height issue when setting up my home office. the flexispot e7 actually goes down to 22.6 inches without the top, so with a standard 1-inch desktop you're right at 23.6. if you need that extra inch and a half, some folks add a thick cutting board or custom top. i've used the Flexispot E7 for about eight months now and stability is solid at sitting height - no monitor wobble even with arms. the crossbar is low enough that i don't hit it, and i'm 5'10. deskhaus peak is definitely more robust but the wait times pushed me toward flexispot instead.

i was in the same boat a couple years ago and went with a [FlexiSpot standing desk](https://featherab.com/shopit?market=am&search_keywords=FlexiSpot+standing+desk). honestly it was worth every penny for me. i’ve got two 27-inch monitors on an arm clamped to it and it’s rock solid even at standing height. no wobble at all. the motors feel smooth and it’s held up perfectly through daily use. if you want something that won’t need replacing in a year it’s the way to go.

I have an E7 and an E7+ in two different offices, both with two monitors on arms. You can definitely tell the + is more stable at the top, but the E7 never bothers me at all

No, it's the non-pro (T frame) version. It is very stable at sitting height and still quite stable at standing height. I've been using a Jarvis at home since 2015, and I'd say it's pretty much exactly the same, which is also the same as the Uplift v2. Honestly I think unless you're really really tall, or are mounting a bunch of extra weight to the desk, 4-leg is overkill

E7 and E7 Pro are totally fine. The overwhelming majority of standing desks out in the world have two legs and most users don’t notice any wobble

IMO Jarvis is about 10% nicer and typically waaaaay more expensive. E7 is still plenty quiet, fast, and stable, and is the right pick between the two for most people.

Flexispot E7 is the best option for most people. Great value

I haven't used the v3 yet, but I've used the v2 and the e7 plenty. I'd say the difference is not worth it.

BTW in case you’re interested our [Tempo Controller](https://ergodriven.com/products/tempo-smart-controller-for-standing-desks) works with v2, v3, e7 and e7+

When I hear “cozy corner” and “living room”, I tend to think of Branch, that’s kind of their vibe. As someone who works in the industry, here's my opinion of the top standing desk brands and who should buy from each one: **“Amazon Specials” like Claiks, ErGear, HUANUO etc.** - Primary consideration: Budget. These are frankly total trash, probably even worse than the cardboard boxes I used for my first few years of standing. **[Flexispot](https://www.flexispot.com) - Primary consideration: Value.** Buy here if your first consideration is budget but you don’t want garbage. Stick to E7 and above. **[Secretlab](https://secretlab.co) - Primary consideration: Cable Management.** Buy here if you’re a gamer and/or you just can’t stand to see a cord. **[Uplift](https://www.upliftdesk.com) - Primary consideration: Corporate Sales.** Buy here if you’re a purchasing manager (at work or at home). No one ever got fired for buying IBM. **[DeskHaus](https://desk.haus) - Primary consideration: Stability.** Buy here if you want to absolutely annihilate any and all wobble or sway, or if you need to support a massive desktop. **[Branch](https://www.branchfurniture.com) - Primary consideration: Apartment Chic.** Buy here if your home office is also your living room. And where we think we fit in: **[Ergodriven](https://ergodriven.com) - Primary consideration: Ergonomics.** Buy here if you actually want to use your standing desk, because [the Tempo desk](https://ergodriven.com/products/the-ergodriven-standing-desk) monitors your presence and position and automatically moves your desk for you before you end up stuck in one position too long. FYI if you end up picking up one of those other desks above for the totally valid reasons I listed, you can still get a [Tempo controller](https://ergodriven.com/products/tempo-smart-controller-for-standing-desks) and just swap out your controllers in a few minutes (Tempo is compatible with all the brands above - and many others - except the “Amazon Specials”).

E7 and E7 Pro are totally fine. The overwhelming majority of standing desks out in the world have two legs and most users don’t notice any wobble

Jarvis desk is made by Jiecang (same as Uplift and Deskhaus). Flexispot is made by Loctek. I have a Jarvis and a Flexispot E7. The Jarvis is like 5-10% nicer. Slightly quieter, and slightly more stable at standing height. But the E7 is already plenty good, I think provides better value. I haven’t tried the E7 Pro but I would imagine it’s basically identical to Jarvis and Uplift V2. That said, I wouldn’t go below an E7.

FYI we recently launched our own desks and we went with Loctek in part because they deliver great frames at a great value, and as others have said, all the frames on the market are very similar. We were interested in innovating with the technology for controlling the desk instead.

Flexispot E7 standing desk with T-frame goes down to 22.8 inches. Right now it’s 299.99 for just the frame, on the website, but if you use the top off the desk you have it won’t be too much over budget.

There’s basically 3 levels — high end over $1000; middle level $500-$700; cheap under $500. I got a middle of the road Flexispot E7 and I’m happy with it. If you’re on a budget a mid-level desk is pretty good. If you don’t consider it to be sacrilegious, you might be able to use the top off grandpa’s table and on the adjustable base. Several companies will sell only the base. For me it was my best ergonomic purchase, mostly because I could adjust the height of the desk perfectly. It’s not the holy grail. Once you get it, do some research to make sure everything is set up properly.

A standing desk does more than just let you stand. It allows you another mechanism for getting your alignment perfect. I had a problem getting a chair that went high enough. The Flexispot E7 came down to me and my feet can be on the floor. I also adjust it for different tasks. So I guess my answer is I’m using it whenever I’m at my desk, even if I’m not standing, because it also makes sitting better.

I’ve had a lot clamped to it and wasn’t worried about damage. Judging by reviews and Reddit posts, I feel like people who use their desks a lot toward the top of the height range have more issues with wobble and need the four legs. I haven’t had a big issue with wobble. https://preview.redd.it/gw6hnwstb92g1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ed2e42414023fbb2d6c05b7f931a8f9e29620d7d

This. I am 5’3 and short waisted and tried a lot of products, but I was never able to perfect the ergonomics until I got a sit stand desk. Before you buy, measure from your elbow to the floor when sitting with your feet flat. You need a desk that will go down to this height. I have the Flexispot E7 which goes down to 22.8 inches.

Yes, I use the standing function daily to stretch my back and legs. I recommend the Flexidesk E7 model, which is large and sturdy - it can support various heavy monitor stands and the ability to adjust and pre-set various heights is useful too.
