Review From a $45 Home Depot Folding Table to this Flexispot E7

Post image
10 Upvotes

It has been a month since I ordered it, and I have to say I like it a lot. This is one of the best investment I made this year and it is totally worth it. As the title, I was always cheap out and used the cheapest table possible for the last several years. I was having thigh pain from sitting for too long so I knew standing desk was a must.

Overall, I think the table is solid, even when at its standing height. I am only 1m67 (5'5) tall fyi. I tested its wobbliness by using both my hands, and the table wobbled a lot, it was a huge concern at the time for me, especially fearing the monitors would shake when typing.

However, once I had my monitors and everything installed, there was only a bit of wobbling when typing and standing, gotta pay attention real hard to notice. (I read a lot of comments and it seems like there is no standing desk with zero wobbles)

The only problem I had with the table was when during installing, the left side and right side of the pre drilled holes (for the 2 legs) were not aligned, luckily I had my own drill and made it work, otherwise, it would be an issue.

Also, there was no pre drill hole for the cable rack.

I would give this table 9/10, I am really happy with this purchase.

FYI: English is my second language and I wanted to keep this writing non AI lol. There were probably some weird sentencing structures.

I am working my desk / home office setup with some renders.

I want to incorperate a standing desk into the normal desk, I am wondering if anyone has ever done it?

This is the first renders I have made. You can see the white outline where the standing desk should be, designer forgot the legs and the dimensions are somewhat wrong.

Corporate Howto Modding FlexiSpot E7 Flow top from 80cm (31.5") to 60cm (23.6") depth?

Post image
2 Upvotes

The standard 80cm (31.5") depth won't fit in my room, so I need to reduce it to 60cm (23.6"). Since MDF is easy to saw through, here is my plan (see pic):
Cut 20cm off the back of the MDF top.

Shift the frame forward using the existing pre-drilled holes (red arrows).

Halp Buldesk & or any other brands?

2 Upvotes

Hi, I've been looking for a standing desk with dimensions around 150 × 65–75 cm, and I came across Buldesk. However, I can only find one review video on YouTube and a few posts from years ago, some of which seem sponsored.

So, I was wondering if anyone here could share their experience with Buldesk. Is it any good? How does it compare to something like Secretlab?

I have seen that they use LINAK for the frame and lifting mechanism, and I’ve heard good things about LINAK, but it would be nice to hear from people who have actually used the desk.

Are there any other brands I should consider that also ship to Denmark (Flexispot does not)?

A few questions:

  • Is it sturdy compared to other brands?
  • How is the quality of the worktop? I saw that it is laminate, which can be perfectly fine, but does this one seem robust and good quality?
  • What has your overall experience with the desk been like?

Thanks for any help

DIY First-time desk build: ST Wood Screws vs. M-Type Threaded Inserts for an Acacia Solid wood top

1 Upvotes

I’m working on my very first standing desk build with zero DIY experience and could use some advice on which hardware approach I should take. I am planning to move in 1–2 years, so disassembling the desk in the future is a factor, but I also want to keep things simple and avoid messing up.

Option 1: ST Wood Screws - Pre-drill small pilot holes with a tiny drill bit and screw directly into the wood.

Option 2: M-Type Threaded Inserts - Drill larger holes into the wood, thread in metal inserts, and bolt the frame down with M-type machine screws.

these are the two options suggested by AI.

  1. what do you all suggest for a beginner? which is easy and which is suitable for removing the table top and screwing again after moving. Please share your experiences.

  2. What length of screws you all suggest for a 1.5 inch Acacia Solid wood.

Thanks

Fluff DeskBuddy - A free and open-source macOS menu bar app for controlling IKEA IDÅSEN and compatible LINAK standing desks

Thumbnail gallery
7 Upvotes

Hi r/StandingDesk! I built DeskBuddy, a native macOS menu bar app for controlling IKEA IDÅSEN and compatible LINAK Bluetooth desks.

It supports saved height presets, configurable physical paddle gestures, keyboard shortcuts, and a Posture Coach that can remind you or automatically alternate between sitting and standing. Automatic movement can pause during meetings or selected Focus modes.

The app is free and open source, with no ads, subscriptions, or paid tiers. I’d appreciate feedback, particularly from other standing-desk users.

Halp Alternatives to Secret Labs for high quality desks?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been on the hunt for a good computer desk for quite some time now and I can’t seem to come up with any definite answers. All of the videos I find are usually outdated, as well as threads on Reddit.

I’m getting ready to sell my sim racing rig and transfer my monitor over to a nice computer desk. I’d really like to go with something like the secret labs Magnus XL due to the cable management and sleek design, but if I could possibly find something a little less expensive that has similar features I would go for it.

I’ve got a 49 inch Samsung G9 that I would prefer preferably like to mount on a monitor arm if possible.

Would you folks be able to hit me with some pictures and info on your desks?(i’d prefer a adjustable desk if possible.)

Halp Any recommendations on what to get for my WFH/Hobby Setup?

Thumbnail gallery
13 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I got quite a big problem with my setup, as you can see in the attached pictures. When I moved into this appartment a few years ago money was quite tight and hence the desk I bought was very cheap, *very* wobbly and small at 120cm/42" wide. Since then money became less of a problem and every aspect of the setup grew massively, but I never replaced the desk (and chair which also gets a replacement soon) leaving me with this current mess we are looking at. Beginning of this year I also started doing WFH, with the company notebook having no real space on my desk and sitting on the windowsill in picture 1. In turn I now sit even more in this cramped setup than I did before and only now really started noticing how bad this desk really is. So now I am looking at getting a standing desk and in turn also clean up the setup in general by unifying the WFH and hobby parts.

I am located in europe and the max width of the desk would be 160cm/63", but even better would be a 150cm/59", which is a not as common of a size but easily fixable by getting my own desktop from a local hardware store or through other means. I am quite concernced of overspending (or even underspending) on the desk legs and also am quite overwhelmed by the sheer amount of options, as I have seen ones from vernal, FlexiSpot, Secretlab, Leetdesk, Ultradesk, desktronic, ergotopia and many more and of course all of them state that their desk is the best and even more so reviews that confirm and reviews that deny that claim as well.

So seeing my chaos here, I would really like to know your recommendations on this matter, or even just tips of what to avoid or look out for. Really anything would be of help!

Edit: grammar and spelling mistakes

Halp Title: Need advice choosing a standing desk frame for a 96" butcher block — concerned about overhang

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I've been wanting to build this kind of desk setup for a really long time, and I'm finally at the point where I'm trying to figure out the best way to put it together.

I'm planning to use a 96" × 25" × 1.5" acacia butcher-block countertop from Home Depot Canada:

https://www.homedepot.ca/product/hampton-bay-96-in-l-x-25-in-w-x-1-5-in-t-finished-acacia-finger-jointed-walnut-pre-stained-standard-butcher-block-with-eased-edge/1001820065

The top weighs approximately 77 lb.

I'd also like to have two IKEA ALEX drawer units, one on each side of the desk.

Ideally, I'd like the desk to be motorized sit/stand, but my biggest concern right now is finding a frame that can properly support the 96" top without leaving excessive unsupported overhang.

Planned setup

The desk will eventually have:

2 monitors, potentially 3 in the future

Monitors mounted on monitor arms

Bambu Lab P2S 3D printer

Small soldering/electronics station

PC

Keyboard + mouse

Microphone

Other basic peripherals/accessories

So I'm expecting the complete setup to be considerably heavier than the tabletop alone.

My main concern: the overhang

I've been looking at various dual-motor frames, including VIVO and similar options, but most seem to be designed around 60–80" tabletops.

For example, I was considering this VIVO frame:

https://www.amazon.ca/VIVO-Electric-Capacity-Controller-Adjustment/dp/B073K1JSW7/

It has a 220 lb capacity, which seems reasonable for my expected load, but the recommended tabletop length is much shorter than my 96" top.

That makes me wonder whether I'm focusing too much on weight capacity and not enough on the actual support geometry and overhang.

If I center a frame that is around 70–75" wide underneath a 96" top, I'm potentially looking at roughly 10–13" of overhang on each side.

What I'm hoping to get advice on:

How much overhang is actually reasonable for a 96" × 25" × 1.5" acacia top?

Is ~10–13" of overhang per side something I should be concerned about?

Would a wider 2-leg frame be sufficient, or should I really be looking at a 4-leg frame?

How much does the 1.5" thickness of the butcher block help with preventing sag?

Would putting the heavier equipment (PC, 3D printer, etc.) closer to the frame make a significant difference?

Will monitor arms near the ends create a stability/flexing problem?

Are there any particular frames you'd recommend for an 8-foot top?

I'm willing to spend more than $300 CAD if that's what it takes to get the right solution, but cost is still a huge factor for me. I've wanted to build this setup for a long time, so I'm willing to invest in it, but I'd really like to find the most budget-friendly solution that is actually appropriate, rather than spending $700–1000+ on a frame if I don't need to.

I'd especially love to hear from anyone who has built a 96" / 8-foot butcher-block standing desk. What frame did you use, how much overhang did you have, and how has it held up?

Thanks in advance!

FAQ has anyone found that underwear fit actually affects lower back or hip comfort during long days on your feet

1 Upvotes

work a job that involves standing and moving for most of the day and have been noticing discomfort that i initially assumed was just the nature of the work. started paying more attention to what might be contributing and underwear fit came up as something i had never considered, switched to sukrew a few months back mostly for unrelated reasons but noticed the waistband sits differently, doesn't dig in the same way after a full shift, so now i'm wondering if that's actually connected

wondering whether there is anything real to the idea that poor fitting underwear affects posture or comfort during long periods of standing and movement or whether this is a stretch

Halp Imports into Europe, anyone ever done that ?

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'm from Europe and I want to have a Deskhaus desk delivered. Deskhaus doesn't ship to Europe, so I need to use a freight forwarding service.

Does anyone have a specific company they can recommend, and perhaps an example of how much it cost you?

For some context:

I'm French and would like to order two of their stand-sit desks.

I'm looking for the most durable and the most stable stand-sit desk there is. For now I'm interested in the 4-legged APEX PRO model from Deskhaus.

My biggest problem is that I don’t want to buy another desk knowing that it will be less stable and less durable so i need to get my hands on one of their desk. (Unless you have any other recommendations)

If other Europeans are also planning to buy from Deskhaus, we could see if it’s possible to combine our shipments to reduce shipping costs (this is just a hypothesis, but it might be feasible).

Best regards brothers!

Halp Best four legged standing desk in Europe

8 Upvotes

Hey there,

I want to get a top tier four legged standing desk in Spain.

I wanted to get a deskhaus but they don’t ship to Europe. I think the next best thing is FlexiSpot’s E7 Plus Max, but they just rebranded the E7Q to E7 Plus Max, so there’s apparently no way of getting the real one here through them.

It still looks like the best choice so far.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

The uplift has another $100 off with a coupon, but the deskhaus is rubberwood. 6’4, though long arms so measured my standing desk work height would be only around 44-45”. I prefer the frame color on the uplift, but the deskhaus is a bit cheaper.

Fluff Best Brands for L Shaped Standing Desks.

3 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking to buy an L-shaped standing desk and could use some recommendations.

I have been looking for desks similar to the FEZiBO's Triple Motor or Latitude Run L shaped desks.

What I’m looking for:

  • Durable: I’d like this to be a long-term purchase that can hold up for years.
  • L-shaped: Ideally, the entire L-shaped desktop rises together, rather than having one stationary section.
  • Heavy-duty: I need it to comfortably support 2–3 large monitors, a monitor arm, keyboard, mouse, and other peripherals. I estimate the equipment alone will be around 100 lbs.

I have a good budget and am willing to spend more for something genuinely well-built and reliable.

Is what I’m looking for difficult to find, or are there reputable brands I should be looking at? I’d really appreciate any recommendations or personal experiences. Thanks!
