- After a year of working from home and sitting on my arse all day, I decided to pick up this standing desk from Flexispot. This is my full review of the Flexispot 48" Electric Height Adjustable Standing Desk EN1.
I had seen some other UA-cam reviews of the product - most of them sponsored videos.
This is NOT a sponsored review. Flexispot did not send this my way, this is my full, honest opinion of the desk which I bought with my hard earned dogecoin.
I address the elephant in the room, which is dat wobble. Timestamps below for assembly, the all-important cable management and final thoughts and review.

Was looking for an exact assembly video of the same model that I bought before I tightened and drilled the screws in. Good to see that you had the same issue with the power supply not having any pre-drilled screw holes. Good video. Thanks!
Awesome! 🙌
Thanks so much! My shipment just came in today and I'm really glad I watched this before putting it together!
Awesome - hope it helped, and hopefully not too wobbly for you!
Thank you for a great review! I have been pondering getting one of the standing desks for a while and finally got the courage to seriously consider one for a rented apartment and this one has the best reviews in Amazon in Europe so I decided to check what's there on UA-cam about it
Awesome! Thanks for the comment!
Best tech review I’ve seen in YEARS, that earned a sub from me, thanks so much for the info and humour mixed in!
Thank you so much 👏 appreciate the comment 🙏
That awww soundbite when you said your health was declining got my sub. Keep up the great reviews!!
Ha thank you! More vids coming soon ( hopefully ). Appreciate the sub!
Thanks for the excellent review, you provided a lot of informative, honest, funny and fair feedback. I also liked how you showed the cable management method and the ikea addons :) I can relate to not walking around in Manhattan (pros and cons) during lunch/coffee break. Look forward to seeing more reviews from your channel!
Thanks for the comment and checking it out. Pretty good desk and definitely worth the cash if you're still working a bunch from home.
Great review and fun humor. Just received my desk today (November 2021) Flexispot made big assembly improvements on their end - now much easier for consumer. I only had to attach the 2 vertical legs and feet. The power supply box came neatly velcro-ed to the bottom of desk surface. I bought the cable management tray accessory, will install that tomorrow.
Nice! Thanks for the comment. Hope you don’t mind that wobble at the high setting! 😵💫
Dang, I guess I ordered it too soon as I got mine a couple months ago and still had the same power supply issue where you'd have to drill your own holes. Glad to hear they changed it though
Love this guy’s aura, great review (subbed)
Thanks for the review. I thoroughly enjoyed your comedic bits as well.
lol thank you!
Great job editing. Well done!
Thank you!
Nice table! Love the qualities of your videos 😄
This video was so much help! Thank You! Keep up the great vids
Glad it helped! Thank you
Great review. Very well done. Thank you so much.
Awesome! Thanks for watching 👏
May I ask, what size drill bit did you used to pre-drill the holes?
Thank You for sharing this! I had to comb through so many videos to find a non-sponsored video for this desk lol.
Awesome - glad it helped!
I agree
Great review! Thanks!
Thank you 🙏
Thanks so much, your video helped me out a lot.
I was stuck and you helped greatly. Thanks a bunch!
Awesome - glad my shoddy building skills helped. lol
Best review for this desk so far. thnx
Thank you - appreciate the comment 🙏
Great review! Thanks for making this vid. Very helpful for my decision. :)
Awesome! 🙌
Great review and very helpful assembly! loved the trophy at 3:59 😂 top notch
Thank you!
Very well spoken and nice review thanks alot
Thanks for watching 🙏
Thanks!!!
Thanks for the review! I just bought one and I’m waiting for it to arrive. My question is how long is the power cable? It looked like it comes in two parts so maybe I could buy a longer one. Annoyingly I can’t position my desk near an outlet so I need to run a cables across the room
Man your videos are great
Thanks for watching 👍
Haha. Nice review. I like your sense of your humor too!
thanks!
Just bought the next desk up in the Flexi line (two motors). It's a little more expense, but there doesn't seem to be a wobble.
Awesome 🙌
Loved your review! You covered all aspects that was important for me. And, you were funny which made me rewind video at few places and watch it again ..haha. Quick question - My job involves typing a lot (and of course, with it moving the mouse). Does the wobble bother you when you have the desk in standing mode and when you do a lot of typing? Thanks again for the great honest review! Subscribed to your channel too.
Hey thanks for the comment. For typing and mouse moving, the wobble is not noticeable. For writing with pen and paper, same.
If you have to erase something with a pencil, the desk will definitely wobble. If you bounce into it lightly, the desk will wobble. All in all, I’m happy with the purchase and have had it for quite some time now. Still works well!
Thanks for the video! A great help. Did you find the screw packet to match the lettering system in the booklet. Trying to figure out before assembly if they sent me the proper screws. Thanks!
Yes - they were labeled fine - only problem was missing some pre-drilled holes in the desk top, but easy enough to drill yourself 👍
Excellent video! I came across this desk recently & keep thinking about it for a. urging table for my quilting room. Love the idea of being able to have it different heights if I want to sit at it or stand to cut fabrics. I have also thought about replacing my desk for one of these. I have a Mac Mini with a pullout shelf for my keyboard. Do you have any idea of a shelf. hold be attached to the desk?
There are plenty of options for attachable under-desk trays - in fact, Flexispot even makes their own - although they look a bit tacky and clamp on the top of the desk. I would just google "desk keyboard tray" and see what looks best ;-)
This was very helpful, thank you! where did you purchase the monitor riser with drawers?
Thank you - that was IKEA. Not sure if they make the exact same one, but they have similar ones I see now after a quick search
You cracked me up with your jokes! Great review too! Keep it up!
Thanks for the comment :)
You can likely buy some Mounting tape on Amazon instead of drilling holes for the motor. Less risk that someone accidentally drills through the desk, or that they misalign the drill holes.
True, true.
Thanks for the great video. How heavy was it, in the box? I have to get it up the stairs myself and am trying to figure out logistics. Thanks!
It comes in two separate boxes, the frame and the top. The box with the frame is probably 50lbs or so? Once you hoist it over your shoulder you should be ok. The table top I opened the box and carried it down my stairs - was easier than carrying the huge slippery box
wheres your desk pad from?
Hi , thanks for the details. One more , where did you get the IKEA drawer add ons, can you share the link please
Definitely, a 2 thumps up presentation and perspective on the table. Please share/post links to what power strips you are using. Thank you!
Awesome - thanks for the comment.
The power strips were from Lowes or Home Depot. The surge protector one with 2 USB ports is from "Commercial Electric" - CE TECH 7 Outlet USB Power Strip.
The smaller one is just a generic, 7 dollar cheap powerstrip. The braided cable/extension cord going into the wall is HDX 12ft braided extension cord.
@@QuickTechReviews Thank you very much! Just putting it out there, maybe a video revisiting your journey with this table after a year of use? Have a great day!
Thanks for the video. What's the brand and name of your double layer for the screen?
That was from IKEA - they no longer make it 😢 but they have similar ones I think online
I’ve been so confused as some have the power source on the right and others on the left. Yours looks like mine but I’m still mind blown lol I have the ec 1 55x38
Love this set up and just bought this desk for myself. Where did you get your monitor risers?
The riser was from IKEA. They’ve discontinued this specific one - but they have one thats relatively similar - but not as nice imho
Thanks for the video. Anyone else experience the same wobble??
what size drill bit did u use for these?
Pretty tiny; probably 5/64 or 3/32 - just needed somewhat of a hole for the screw to get started.
You're good, sir. You're good.
Thank you 🙏
Great review! Would you say that it's still as sturdy as it was a year ago?
Also, what size and colour is your desk mat?
Yes, still as sturdy - but still definitely wobbles at full height. The desk mat is a cheap, no-name brand here: amzn.to/3HLRT6n
Going from a 20 inch deep to 30 inch deep desk was a bit too much. I keep my 24" monitor 2/3 towards the back and there was just too much un used space behind the monitor to collect dust.
ty
thanks for watching.
Hi! Which drawers do you have as a riser? I think I may do that instead of paying $80 for Flexispot's under desk drawer.
It was from Ikea. I think this one’s been discontinued but they have similar ones - check out their ‘elloven’
Hi~ Great vid. I frequently put my feet up on the desk. Do you think that would be too much to ask for this model in the lowest position? Thanks in advance!
Nah, not in the lowest position - should be fine!
Is it possible to just add a thin strip just under the front legs to reduce wobble?
The wobble isn't really coming from under the legs - it's coming from where to height-adjustment sections of each leg meet...
Hiya, thanks for this. I really like the desk stand that you have, I've been looking for something similar. Where can I get that from please?
That's a discontinued IKEA desk shelf/riser....they have similar ones in their store now - but not as nice as this one IMHO.
Just want to say, Great review man. But do you think my 30 in and 27 in monitors, and my pc, is too much for this desk. if so how long do you think this the desk could last.
Or if there is any other desk out there for about the same price, but better, I would like to know 😁
Desk should withstand 150+lbs if I recall. If you have the cheddar - Uplift desk is much less wobbly when fully extended. It's also probably 5-8 times the price.
link for that desk riser?
Was discontinued - forget what it was called but it was from Ikea. They have a similar one now - but not as nice :(
Do you think this would be ok on carpet?
🤔 yeah i think it would be fine…
Where did you get the storage that’s under your screen?
Ikea - they discontinued this specific item, but they have some similar ones..
1. Looks madd sturdy. Definitely worth all that manual labor 😬
2. There were a lot of “that’s what she said” moments
3. Should be “eat, sleep, unbox, REPEAT!”
4. You’ve got a friend 🙋🏻♂️
5. Could have elaborated on those health issues bra
😂 desk looks madddddd sturdy! 😂
Could anyone please tell me what the name for the monitor stand is?
It’s ikea Alex stand. It’s been discontinued unfortunately. You can find kinda similar ones on Amazon.
In the standing position, do you feel the desk would wobble if you were writing or drawing?
Writing or drawing no. But you might register on the Richter if you were to use an eraser! 🌋
@@QuickTechReviews Thank you, for the quick response, loved the video too!
how tall are you? I'm 6'1 and I'm worried the wobble will be worse
I'm just a wee-lad at 5'7.....hmmm, you'll definitely have some wobble issues - but again, as long as you're not shaking your desk - just typing and doing reg desk activities, you shouldn't notice too much...
What is monitor desk you have there?
The monitor riser with the drawers? That’s from IKEA a few years back. It’s been discontinued I think, but they might have something similar now.
@@QuickTechReviews i checked. Definitely discontinued. Damn. That's s good design too.
@@QuickTechReviews its the Alex shelf that matches the Alex drawers and desk set, its still on sale (at least here in Uk). Question though, i assume the Alex shelf is freestanding on the desktop, do you find it moves at all if you were to knock it etc. thinking of doing this exact set up but dont want my mac studio monitor to be at risk?
Found this video after assembling my desk and realizing the holes were not predrilled for the power box and support beam. #nWo4Life #HollywoodRules
Bro! You are just. 2. Sweeeeeeeet 🤘
Can you put link to ikea desktop cabinet
Hello
@@dst286 Hey, yeah it's been discontinued a few years back. They have something similar if you just search desk riser or something, but this particular one is gone.
@@QuickTechReviews thank u
I've seen other reviews totally complaining about the wobble and I just dont get it. What are people doing on their desks?? Lol, of course a standing desk will wobble a bit but if you are just typing or reading it should be that bad. $400 cheaper than other brands for a bit more wobble? No problem
Yea man. The wobble is real with this desk, but just typing and moving the mouse here and there it’s not much of an issue 👍
Do you still use this desk? How has it stood up (no pun intended lol)
Yessir - still a workhorse. Functions same as day I bought it 👏
You left out big parts of the setup. It’s not easy getting the crossbeam and transmission rod to align with the undercarriage of the table. The instructions aren’t any good. My desk has been partially assembled for over a month. I still can’t find a video with correct, complete installation.
I tried to address the unclear instructions at 2:10. Basically the answer is build the frame without worrying about sizing it to the table top. Then adjust everything when you’re ready to attach. 2:52
Can i buy shares in your youtube channel or make a partnership ? Because i think you will be famous at some point !
Ha. Thank you. Yes, however I only accept dogecoin 😂 🐩 🚀 🌙
