The E7 standing desk is just what I was looking for. I was able to assemble it by myself in about 45 minutes and it works as advertised. Sturdy and attractive, what else would you need.
I was skeptical at first, but this desk surpassed my expectations.
My desk adjusts from about 23.8 to 49.4 which is as low as you could realistically want and also as high as you could ever need. This range is great for shorter people (you can finally sit with your feet on the floor) as well as taller people (unless you are absurdly tall perhaps).
The adjustment is super easy and comes with 4 programmable buttons. There&s a 1 and a 2 as well as a button with a little sitting person and a little standing person. The solid rubberwood is absolutely stunning. Very impressive. It does have ONE minor chip out of the surface, and unfortunately it is right in the middle where my keyboard would go, that is about fingernail sized. I would rather they fill it with filler instead of leaving it open as it is, but it isn&t the biggest deal. The finish is a little odd too. In one particular area near the front there is stretch that is completely smooth for maybe about 5 inches and then dimpled and textured for about 2-3 inches and then smooth for 5 inches etc etc. Very odd, when you rub your hand over it you can feel it goes from smooth to dimpled to smooth. Overall the surface seems really solid though and like it could stand to a lot of abuse.
It is faaaar more stable than I expected. Mine is on carpet and even at standing-height the thing is A LOT more sturdy than any of the cheapo particleboard desks that I am accustomed to.
I ended up getting a few accessories too: The S07LW drawer- Honestly was not a fan of this because it cut into my legroom. Not a bad drawer, albeit very shallow. I ended up getting a partial refund and gifting it. The DO04W Monitor Stand - THIS I would 100% recommend. Very high quality and well-made. Makes the desk look/feel much more like a proper desk in my opinion. If you pick one accessory it should be this, perhaps unless you have monitor arms or something but even then the little fabric drawers seem to give you more total volume than the aforementioned metal drawer. The PS015W power strip - Wasn&t a fan of this. You can&t put tuck it under the monitor stand because it is angled, it can&t clamp onto the monitor stand itself because that is too narrow, and also it interferes with the fabric drawers on the stand as well unless you have the wider desk. So it is essentially incompatible with THEIR OTHER ACCESSORY which is kind of silly. If that wasn&t enough, the USB C port couldn&t even fast-charge my 7-year-old phone (or even charge it at a reasonable rate) which was incredibly disappointing. Not worth it, refunded.
I&ve never owned a desk like this but, when it&s time to get another desk or desktop I will likely return to Flexispot. Well, assuming they&re still around in 50 years that is.
Overall I can&t recommend this desk enough. It would probably work very well as a workbench as well.
So far so good - pro tip: don&t buy the cable tray

I delayed getting a sit stand desk for a LOOONG time. I really should&ve done it sooner. it&s been a great addition to my life. Overall quality is decent and assembly was reasonably easy. The E7 pro comes with a cable management tray that you have to screw into the desk. It&s kinda lame and flimsy, so I&d just skip installing it. Also, at checkout, you can ADD a cable tray to the desk (even though it already comes with one). Don&t buy the EXTRA one like I did so you don&t waste money on an extra extraneous accessory.
Otherwise pretty happy with the desk in the first two weeks of use! Smooth, quiet, and makes my body a lot happier!
