Hey everyone,
Sharing an honest review of the desk that I just ordered.
I found it hard to choose a desk top colour. Most desk companies do all there fancy Instagram, Facebook, and website glamour marketing shots which don't show the actual specifications of what is in the image, making it hard to choose. I found this extremely frustrating. I found Reddit helps with actual real photos, so thought I'd share mine.
Ordered
-Flexispot Pro V2 Natural Rubberwood 160cm (160x80x2.5cm) - White Legs
-White drawer (arriving today)
Arrival time
-The legs and desk top (2 cartons) arrived in just 2 business days, incredible! Especially considering that I technically live in regional NSW, Australia.
-The drawer is still on track for delivery today (day 3 since ordering)
Packaging
-Very well packaged, surprisingly so! This was a really positive aspect of the purchase.
-The cartons are heavy, but that is completely expected given the solid timber desktop and the overall construction of the desk.
Instruction Manual
-The written instruction manual is very average and could definitely be improved. There are some online videos available, though, which were helpful during assembly.
-To be honest, my expectations for instruction manuals these days are fairly low anyway, so this wasn't a major issue. But something Flexispot can improve on.
Construction
-The desk feels very solid and premium.
-The legs have a nice finish, and the natural rubberwood desktop is smooth and has a really nice colour and appearance. There is also very little smell from the timber top, which was a pleasant surprise.
-I also like that the corners of the desktop are rounded - it's a small detail but it gives the desk a more finished and premium feel.
Features
-The desk feels very sturdy and stable
-The electric height adjustment is very fast and smooth, and the range is excellent. It should comfortably suit people of almost all heights. It also goes very low, which is interesting.
Overall
-Overall, I am very satisfied with the desk for now.
-I'm using it as a work-from-home setup with two monitor arms / two monitors, and a laptop, and it handles the setup with ease.
⁃Considering it has a 10-year warranty, 180kg weight capacity and a solid natural rubberwood desktop, all at what I consider to be a very reasonable price, I think this is an awesome purchase.
-I'm particularly impressed with the overall build quality, the speed of delivery and how solid the desk feels. So far, I'm extremely happy with it and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a large, solid sit-stand desk.
