We purchased the 42" x 24" desk for my wife and she absolutely loves it. We added a dual monitor mount and she already had her own keyboard tray. One word of warning though, if you have your own keyboard tray or if you want a larger one than the 25" one listed on the site here, you will have to move the desk controls over to the side of the desk (and drill your own holes) as there wasn&t enough room for a larger clamp keyboard tray with the 42" desk (no big deal for us really).
However, one thing that was a bit disappointing was that there was not pre-drilled holes for the control box.
I picked up the 24x60" version with the standard Eco frame and couldn&t be happier. I&m able to fit my 27" iMac, a heavy duty dual monitor clamp on mount with 27" and 21" monitors, along with my work laptop all on this desk with plenty of &workroom& as well for mouse, keyboard, notepads, etc. All of that equipment weighs only about 50 pounds, well under the max rating for the standard frame. It lifts it all effortlessly. From sit to stand, the lift takes about 10-12 seconds at most and the motor is plenty quiet. I was concerned about motor noise, bit it is very minor and I can adjust while on my conference calls with no problems. Install was pretty fast, maybe 45 minutes going slowly. I will say it seemed like pre-drilled starter holes on the table top was a little off when mounting the frame to it, but extremely minor. And let&s be honest, just stick the screw through the metal bracket and it self taps into the wood with no problem. Wasn&t a big deal. I got the black top and it is great, seems very solid. Even in the standing position with all of my equipment mounted, it seems very stable!
I ordered the curved model for my son who was super excited to receive it for his birthday. Unfortunately that excitement turned into frustration. I added the clamp power/usb strip accessory. However because this desks edges are slanted ,nothing we try to clamp on to it will stay put. Why even post this clamp as an option to add when it obviously doesn’t attach well. He also tried to attach his mic stand and that would fall off too any time he adjusted the mic. For as much as we spent , it was disappointing to find out any accessories that need to be clamped on do NOT work.
I purchased the Seiffen desk with a 48x30 curved top and the pro 2 stage legs.
To start off, shipping was quick. The top came two days before the legs. Installation was really easy and quick. The instructions were clear and there really is not that many steps. I think it may have taken me about 30 minutes at most.
The desk looks great. The top looks nice and the whole desk feels sturdy. The dual motors are pretty quiet when raising and lowering the desk. It feels high quality and I do not have any wobble.
Based on my experience, I would do two things differently if I ordered another desk. First, I ordered the gray legs. I wish I had gone with black. It still looks good and it is my own fault. I will mention that the gray looks more like a silver. The second is that I wish I had ordered the pro 3 stage legs. I&m 5&8" and I wish the desk would go just a little bit lower. I raised my chair and have to use a foot rest to have my feet flat but I&m still very happy with it.
Overall, this is a great desk at a reasonable price. If you are on the fence on which adjustable desk to buy, I can strongly recommend flexispot.
I was very excited about it when I bought it. But the keypad was just not working. When I plugged in the very first time it went all the way up for the very first time on its own and then the keypad just stopped working. (Its keypad with just 2 keys) :(
