I watched this review when looking into standing desks. Was put off by the woble but bought their 'flagship' E6 as it had 'improved stability'. Have to say, even at full height there's no give in it. Its rock solid. You should get in touch and see if they'll send you one to make amends.
And now theyre releasing a 4 legged one soon. I think that is exactly what I need for my 98" desktop. And being in europe I dont have the typical 4leg choices like Deskhaus in the US.
One of the most brutally honest reviews ive seen on tech channels. So useful, especially because I'm about to buy one any day now. Love it. Keep up the good work
Glad it hit the mark. Always will be honest. Literally HAVE to be or there is no point to what I do. I'll let dammed if I ever let anyone call me an "influencer".
Thank you so much for the thorough review! I was looking to get a flexispot desk but you’ve convinced me otherwise. Have you heard of the Friant My-Hite standing desk by chance? If so, do you have any opinions on it?
Hey B, nice video, just put this together for my son. and I cannot get this desk level. if I put a glass on it would slid off. none of the pre-drill holes line up. I had to put 1" shims to level it. any ideas what went wrong?
"I'm really trying hard to be mature but it gets so HARD sometimes." God this video was hilarious, yet still an amazing review. You found the perfect balance my man!!
BadSeed Tech I agree completely and its so helpful to get info on whether a product is good or not worth my money before I put in the money and time to find out for myself. Thanks again!
Just received the Flexispot desk and it is good. No damage to anything whatsoever. Agree with you about sideways stability. The only thing I did not like is the holes missing for the controller fiiting on the wood. I had to carefully drill them myself. Nice review
… this type of comments tells me this is directly from flexispot loool! Fake reviews to boostup sales its terrible especially when item is crap ! Still thinking if i should get it lool
Your review was very helpful... Thank you!!! Also... you have a GREAT voice, and I appreciate your speed. I usually watch reviews at 2x speed, but had to reduce it!
You were so right! I ordered flexispot before seeing this and ending up sending it back. My desktop was damaged and I couldn’t reach anyone via phone and was so passed. I just can’t deal with bad service. Tried Uplift and omg 😱. Love love love. Super sturdy. Well made. Looks good. Better packaged. Overall better experience.
This is a great review! I have an Uplift desk and I love it. I'm helping my girlfriend shop for a standing desk and your review gave us crucial information for making our purchasing decision. Thanks!
Thanks for this video! You are the only reviewer I could find talking about lateral wobble on the FlexiSpot frames! Apparently they've heard your criticism and updated the E7 (and E8) to being 3 stage poles that become smaller towards the top. Still not sure if I should get one or pay a bit more for the Uplift!
Looks like they upgraded a lot through-out the years, the newer model I want to get EC5 support up to 220LBS with bamboo top and it's around $400 cheaper than a smaller upliftdesk
I know this is old BUT what would you say if the dual motor, 2 stage version (just the legs) was on sale for $150 like it is right now. Change your thoughts a bit or nah?
This review is just what I needed! I was looking at saving $225 between the Updesk and Flexi Spot. Btw your links for the headphones and keyboard are switched. Love your reviews, Subscribed!
AHH I see ya with the mionix mouse pad lol got the pop one in blue ..and switch form the wei keyboard to the duckyone 2 mini .. i found the mouse pads are actually fairly decent ! great vid btw B you have been on the grind! and it shows keep up the hadr work brother!
Like the honest feedback. Can you review the newer Kana Bamboo and Kana Bamboo pro? Seems like they addressed some of you complaints whiles still being a bit less expensive than the competition.
Honestly I bought it for looks when it was on a black friday discount but I really like it. Don't play much different than the Logitech XL pad - less squishy than Novel Keys though.
Nice review. Whats the verdict on Bamboo's range of standing desks? I've heard good things but want to make sure I'm making the best choice on one of these bad boys
Zero wobble, super quiet, great price! Equals best value! My company paid for it and I selected it and no regrets. Got the bamboo top with white legs and motor. Perfect!
Was thinking about purchasing a flexispot desk and now I’m definitely going to save extra money to buy an updesk. Really thought flexispot was on to something, but clearly one has way better QC than the other from what I’ve seen here and on other UA-cam videos.
Great review. Good lord, that out-of-box damage is absolutely barbaric. Even my IKEA Skarsta arrived in better condition than that, and it's only a 240 dollar manually-actuated sit-stand desk x-D
I bought a Flexispot E1B with single motor on Black Friday for 210€ and I can say it's a great product ... It's not even close to description in this video! This desk is awesome for home use it's very sturdy and .... There was no damages or any flaws... quality is amazing!
I just bought a Flexispot EC1 48'' × 30'' for $270 shipped. Maybe I'm just lucky, but the top isn't scuffed at all. Also, the pilot holes were already drilled. They also sent some 3m cable management loops. This seems to address most of the complaints from this video. Maybe they were listening to the reviews and improved over the last year. It is a great desk for the price.
@@billflu I just bought one, those issues aren't a problem - I have my own top -- my main concern is lateral stability - does it wobble back and forth like this?
Can I ask how tall you are? I know it gets more wobbly as the table goes higher as with any standing desk. I’m 5’8” and am curious how wobbly it is for my particular standing height.
I have a fully custom sit stand I absolutely love it. I lucked out on a lot of stuff I got and had to get creative here and there but in the end I got an amazing product and I promise you won’t find another one like it lol
I bought a Flexispot desk the other day and it seems they really improved their quality from when this video was made. It does not wobble at all and there were no factory defects. Maybe the other brand is higher quality but for the one I got being almost half the price and still very solid I can't complain. Only time will tell how well it lasts, but I'm really happy with it so far.
Thank you for the review, it looks like there's mixed messages about what's happened 4 years later, especially with the high-profile brand deals. Any chance of revisiting this 4 years later to see if there's been any difference?
I just bought one from Staples yesterday and first impressions seem to be a lot better than this video had. It's very stable, does not wobble at all, and the top of it was not scratched up at all. Only used for a day but I'm really happy with it.
So, I was about to pull the trigger on a Flexispot desk about a week ago. I'm in the market for a new desk and it needs to be a "standing" desk since I work from home and am an avid gamer. So I spend about 10+ hours a day at my PC. This review completely changed my choice on what desk I was going to get. I was about to spend $550 on a E5 flexispot desk and after your review, I went with the UPLIFT instead. UPLIFT was more money, but the quality was the deciding factor. Thank you for the review, it was incredible.
i bought one before this video. still works amazing and no real issues. the only problem i have is the desk height. at the lowest setting possible it’s still too tall. even with my chair raised to its max height. i’m 5’10 shmedium sized. i’m gonna chop the legs down and see what happens
This might be for this particular model, I'm using the newest model they have and it has dual motors, the telescope legs are on the upper side and even with my heavy oak desk on it it is still very sturdy, even if I put a wider desk on it then for what it is rated for. cost me 350€ by the way
I literally almost said that exact thing in the review but I have no idea how much it costs to manufacture something like that. HAD that desk been $250, it would have been treated as a budget option and a much more positive review.
Finally someone's not afraid to give a bad review to one of these desks. Subbed
He’s probably getting paid by the competitor Uplift
Gotta love the transparency you give with all product reviews!
