Based on 1 year's data from Feb 18, 2026 How it works
I have 2 Flexispot (E8 with a 48x30 top & E5 with a 55x28 top). Both are Flexispot’s white chipboard top and no issues so far. E8 - dual motors. Got it 3yrs ago and it still works without issue. I moved a month ago so had to disconnect it and take tie legs off. Reassembled everything, no issues. Love it. E5 - single motor. Got it a month ago and no issues so far. They don’t make the E8 anymore and since the second desk won’t be the primary desk, I went a little cheaper and got the E5. One of the things I look for when picking a desk is the position of the legs are in relation to the feet. I like them at the center of the feet (unlike the E7 Pro). Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like it reduces the shaking when the desk is raised.
To add to this, I have 2 from Flexispot and happy with both. Got an E8 3yrs ago and use it everyday and not a single issue, even disassembled the legs once during the move. 2 months all I needed a second standing desk and I was hoping to get the same model but they don’t sell it anymore so I ended up getting the E5. So far no issues with either. Even have a BenQ monitor arm on the E5 with a 27” screen and a 38” widescreen on a monitor desktop stand on the E8 and there’s very minimal shaking (at least for me) when the desk is raised to ~45 inch height. I want to say no shaking at all, but anything at that height must have some shaking but I honestly can’t remember a time where I lowered the height due to any shaking.
Admittedly I've had mine lowered more often than not in recent months but YES, it's worth it. My original plan was to get one and get a small treadmill to walk while I work, never actually got around to that part (couldn't settle on a good model) but the desk itself has been very nice to have. Flexispot E8 is the one I have.
I have a Flexispot adjustable desk with ports like this and programmable heights and I use the ports for literally everything. Even when I’m not working it’s a great spot to charge things you don’t juice up every day - Bluetooth speakers, battery packs etc I work hybrid and I have a much more basic model of the same brand at the office. Both have been operating great for three years!
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.
so i used FlexiDesk first and the height adjustments were ok but not smooth. then i got a Dezctop desk with the lift system and modular D Boards. switching between sitting and standing throughout the day became effortless. my back feels way better now
Flexispot but get the dual motor. Mine is 55" long and fits two monitors, laptop stand, and portable monitor with enough writing room and keyboard space. Super sturdy no shaking when changing levels. Really smooth and under $300. No need to splurge on Uplift
Got mine a year ago and use stand mode everyday, usually beginning of day and after lunch. Adjusting height while sitting at different levels for typing vs reading can also alleviate bad posture. There is no reason to spend a grand on a standing desk. Look for a Flexispot dual motor on Amazon. Amazing quality, easy set up, and so smooth. I would only ever get a dual motor. Mine was no more than $300.
You can either go the preset ones from uplift, flexispot, etc. but I'm not a fan of the table top because it's usually particle board. It can work for you but to each their own. I got a flexispot dual motor standing desk and paired it with a butcher block top from home depot. You can usually find butcher blocks easily assessible from the big box stores. I also screwed in casters on the bottom so I could move it around when needed. Using the Ikea Signum as cable management and it's...okay. It works but whatever. Depending on how heavy your table top is and how much stuff (weight of monitors, PC tower, etc.) you're going to put on your desk, would recommend get a frame with dual motors.
This is how I got mine. Sold my old (not height adjustable) desks for the pair and spent an additional 100 to buy a secondhand flexispot. It really was a steal and too some patience and searching to find. Dual motor is a must in my opinion, as are at least 2 programmable buttons. If it is for home use, don’t bother too much with it being too noisy or quiet
I got a Flexispot on a Black Friday sale and saved about a hundred, honestly pretty sturdy depending on how detail oriented and handy you are with assembly. There's one through Costco that doesn't look half bad that has a glass top, USB-A X1 + USB-C X2 integrated charging ports on the side, and drawer. Though I prefer a wooden top to secure a multi-monitor mount and install cable management.
Check how many leg segments it has. My FkexiSpot desk has 2 and low is just a tad not low enough
