E2 Desk Overview
on April 30, 2025
Posted by: Caden C.
The E2 standing desk is clean and efficient. In summary, its assembly is moderate, its use is satisfactory, and its look is clean.
Assembly:
Requires the use of several hand tools (screwdriver, alan wrench, drill and/or impact driver) and enough strength to pick/hold parts of the desk in place, as well as re-orient when assembly is finished. If you&re somewhat handy, assembly should pose no problem with the clear directions. The desk is large enough that measurements don&t have to be to the micrometer, so measuring with a tape measure is adequate. If you&re not handy or lack basic woodshop-like skills, you might find assembly challenging. Some of the provided fasteners are a little short, but they get the job done. If you intend to move the desk frequently or put it through heavy daily use, it may be desirable to assemble the desk with longer/larger screws.

Use:
The desk is very stable and heavy enough to prevent vibrations (on carpet, I&m unsure how it does on hard flooring). It has ample space (depending on the desktop size) for a PC/monitors OR a large amount of paperwork (some desktops can easily fit a 30"x42" engineering drawing). The chipboard top is less cheap in quality than the name suggests, and looks quite nice. I wouldn&t recommend a chipboard top in wet conditions or for a workshop/place where the desktop will take heavy wear. . . solid wood, bamboo, or butcher block is probably better. The option to buy the frame only means you could also but a metal or lab-grade top on the desk if desired.

Look/construction:
Some of this was covered in the previous category, but from a aesthetic perspective, the desk looks nice, albeit simple. Cable management might be an issue if you&re intending to have multiple monitors/a PC tower on your desk, but flexispot offers solutions (although they&re somewhat expensive) for cable management. Alternatively, some duct tape or other adhevise and creativity can make cables go away relatively cheaply without impacting looks severely. Again, the chipboard top looks nicer than its price suggests, although other tops may have a better look. The controls are simple and non eye-catching and don&t impact the appearance of the desk. The motor and axle are tucked neatly up against the desktop, so they hide well.

Overall:
The desk is well-made and lives up to its advertisements. Although flexispot advertises a high weight limit, I wouldn&t recommend stacking 100+ lbs on the desk. . . 50-70 is probably the upper limit if you want the motor to last the advertised 5 or so years. For the price (especially if you can wait until the E2 goes on sale), its worth the purchase.

It&s pretty good. It&s quiet, and the bamboo desktop is handsome. I wish it could go up a couple more inches. I&m 6&5" and it doesn&t quite reach. It is a little bouncy/tipsy when I&m typing at standing height. Makes my floating monitors jiggle. Overall glad I purchased it.

It&s amazing. I&m so glad

It&s amazing. I&m so glad I waited until I got this desk. There was a bit of a 30 minute detour when I messed up setting the desk (one side of the desk elevated but not the other), but I fixed it and it&s great. Make sure to follow the directions, but the directions aren&t completely precise so you might have to take an educated guess. Definitely get the 55". You need the space

Extremely high quality. The motor
on March 28, 2025
Posted by: Ramiro O.
Extremely high quality. The motor is quiet and very smooth. The desk was easy to assemble, and the desktop was one piece, not two or three pieces, which many places sell. The bamboo desktop is beautifully finished and solid. You cannot touch a quality standing desk like this at this price anywhere. Thank you!

We absolutely loved it! We
on March 26, 2025

We absolutely loved it! We bought 2 of the 44in with bamboo table top to make our home office setup nicer. It is easy to assemble, all materials are good quality, beautiful real wood table top and the mechanism has the preset buttons which make it super easy going back and forth from sitting and standing position. Would recommend 1000 times!
