Top positive review

Amazing desk especially at this price point.

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2024

So far I'm satisfied with this order. Delivery was fast and without any issues.

So top and base comes as 2 different packages. At least in my case I was able to see delivery for both and in amazon tracking it showed delivered only when both parts were delivered. So that was nice! I got everything with in 2 days!

Now I want to share my experience with assembly. I read reviews here that table is awesome, but there are issues with assembly and manual that they provided. In my case I didn't experience that at all and would say it's false. If you have put together something more than a basic IKEA furniture, than you will put this together with ease. I did it in 15 minutes. Instructions in manual are clear and I never had problem with confusing assembly orientation.

One of issues I saw in reviews is crossbar adjustment, and issues only accrue if you don't strictly fallow instructions. In step 2. need to release screws and extend crossbar length, here just extend till max sign and don't tighten it. Make screws only lose enough so you can extend crossbar. As per manual only in Step. 8 when base is attached to table you tighten crossbar screws, these way don't need to guess how far need to extend crossbar.

Now about table, it looks nice and is able to hold my heavy PC and two monitors with ease.
At sitting position table is sturdy without any wobble, at almost max high that I use for standing, there is some wobble as it would be expected but it's not disturbing me at all. Unless you purposely shake table you will never notice it during regular use.

Motor is fast and it goes from sitting to standing in few seconds.

Only small con to this table is, adjustment device cables are short so you can only put it on right side where motor is, I really wish it would come with some extension cables so I could put it on other side since predrilled holes are at both sides.

Also the minimum position could be a bit too high for shorter people.

Overall I'm happy with this table and hope it will last long!

Desk Shipped in Two Separate Packages which was not Disclosed in the Listing

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2024

Update from original review: The desk ships in two packages and are shipped separately. This makes returning through Amazon an incredible hassle if there's anything wrong with the order, as they only provide you with a single shipping label. So warning if you have to return this: you're going to have to take a few extra steps that are coming out of your time.

Updating to 3 stars because customer service offers no explanation or acknowledgement of any issues and defaults into the "sorry you had a bad experience" and just apologizes repeatedly without actually communicating with you about any of your concerns or acknowledging them at all.

The box with all of the components in it arrived a day later after filing for a return. The desk is fine and does what it's supposed to do. Desk Rating 4/5 Stars. Flexispot Customer Service: 1/5

Great desk and customer service

Packaging/delivery:
I received the desk in two packages that arrived within a day of each other. The desktop was one solid piece, which was what drive me to purchase this desk compared to others. The desktop came packaged really well in general. Unfortunately there was the one spot that didn't have styrofoam and there was a dent from transportation. I contacted customer service through Amazon and they were quick to respond and offered a partial refund for the dent.

Assembly:
I needed another person to help assemble the piece as the desktop was pretty heavy and I am a smal person. Overall it was okay to put together and took me an hour. I did not screw the desktop to the legs as the holes didn't line up and I don't have a drill. The desk is still functional and sturdy without screwing the top to the legs. I have two monitors and my laptop, as well as a lot of miscellaneous things. The height settings were easy to set up and the motor isn't very loud.

Overall, I enjoyed this desk as I work from home and it has made me feel less like a bum from sitting all day.

Bought to update my home office - where I now work full time. With my consulting work, I may have 3 or 4 laptops at once and this desk has ample room for all the laptops and still provide work space. It was easy to put together by myself. Was surprised with weight and quality of the desk top. Desk moves up and down easily and quietly. Extremely happy with the purchase.

A solid desk for its price point.

My true rating for this product is 3 1/2 stars. I read reviews for lots of desk on Amazon before pulling the trigger on this one. It seems like many people had issues building this desk and with understanding the instructions. I'm guessing they fixed this issue, but the directions were very clear and it was a real straight forward build.

THE GOOD:
I'm very happy with the desk size, the 4 programable hight settings and its overall ease of use. When you make a desk adjustment it's not particularly fast or quiet, but they weren't deal breakers. The warranty length was also a good selling point. Overall construction feels good for the price point with a few exceptions.

THE BAD:
The desktop is not a smooth surface. I didn't know that it was textured before purchase. This makes writing on a single piece of paper terrible. It is also very easy to scratch. The desktop is about 1" thick. It might seem like enough, but a thick top would be prefered. I think it would help with stability. Speaking of stability. The desk is the most stable at sitting height. I am using an ultrawide monitor (on a stand) and a 16x9 monitor on an arm and at standing height the desk shakes at the slightest touch. Simply tying makes the monitors shake. The design could have benefitted from larger points of contact of the frame to the desk.

I've learned to just deal with the monitor wobbling and at this price point I really can't complain. Overall good value for a $250 price tag.

If considering a standing desk, this is it! Beautiful and soooo quiet!

The media could not be loaded.

Purchased 4 weeks ago and so glad I did! I shopped for 7 months or more trying to find the perfect desk. This is 100% it!
It is beautiful! And so quiet and smooth!
I got the 55” rustic brown with black legs. I needed a longer desk because for work I have to use 3 large monitors plus computer.
I was concerned about the sturdiness and thickness of the tops because I use a single pole 3 monitor mounted monitor stand. The desk is an inch thick and it holds it perfectly. It is sturdy, secure and the motor is so smooth there is literally zero movement of my monitors when it goes up/down or when I’m typing. And the desk sits on thicker pile carpet. What??
The motor is very smooth, quiet and if I had to compare how loud, my small fan near by is louder than the desk.
Packaged extremely with care, lots of cushion. Everything needed to assemble was in the box and some extras in case needed.
I’m 5’6” and I lift it to 42.2 which is perfect for my height. It does go much higher (48.6”) so someone 6’ or more I believe would be able to find a comfortable position as well.
The top came in one solid piece which I like a lot. And the color is beautiful. I also like the protective layer to protect the wood from spills.
I assembled in about 45 mins alone and I’m 59 yrs old Not hard at all. Instructions are clear and step by step. I did flip to standing position alone but would be much easier having a second person to help.
10/10 quality.
10/10 quietness
10/10 size and sturdiness
10/10 ease to program the heights.
10/10 thickness of top
I don’t have any negatives on this one at all.
I literally am so thrilled at how nice it it! It has helped me enjoy my work so much more being able to stand or sit (I work 10-12hrs 7 days when it’s my shift)
I hope this helps someone!

Better than I thought it would be

Size: 55x28Color: Black Frame + Black TopVerified Purchase

This was a huge upgrade from my more expensive, smaller, and less sturdy 'gaming desk'. I needed a bit more room to set up my work laptop and its travel screen. The 55 x 28 is perfect for that. The packages arrived seperately, well packed and in good condition.

Assembly was easy; however, there are some things you need to know as the instructions leave a couple steps unmentioned. First, you can assemble the entire base and then you need to flip the base around 180 degrees on the desk if you want the controller to be on the right-hand side. The instructions only show assembly for mounting left-side, although the same screw patterns are mirrored. Second, whichever side you choose to mount the controller, you will have to drill two pilot holes in order to secure the controller. If you didn't drill the holes for the desk I received, it would be secured by only one screw. Third, there are two additional areas to drill pilot holes for the horizontal support bar. I didn't notice them until assembling the wife's desk. you can raise up the desk to full height and remove the shields to access the area and it makes the desk sturdier once you get those screws in.

Once everything was done I plugged it in and it worked like a dream. The sitting height is good and the upper max height is too high for me (I'm just under 6 feet). The desk is sturdy at all height settings, and my monitors barely shake when the cats jump down from the shelf above. The memory settings are just 'push-and-hold' to set your custom heights, and there are four of those. I've only set the first two, and it's awesome to hit the stand or sit settings, walk away and come back to the desk where I wanted it.

My wife was out of town when I assembled it, she got home, watched the desk in action and had me order another one for her that night. As soon as I hit submit on this review, I'll be assembling hers and I'll update if there are any issues with her assembly, or future issues for both desks.

For this price point, it's an excellent value

Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2023

I spent a week looking at all the options for standing desks, considering brands, models, features, prices, and reviews. I narrowed it down to either the FlexiSpot Pro (dual motor, three-tier legs) or this model, the EN1 (single motor, two-tier legs). The fact that there were many reviews from people perfectly happy with the EN1 at about $100 less than the Pro, I placed my order. I couldn't be more pleased with my decision.

Shipping - I was prepared for receiving the two packages on separate days, but lucked out that they both arrived together within 2 days of ordering. The box for the desktop was torn, but the packaging on the inside (1cm dense foam and reinforced corners) protected it well. Both the desktop and the legs were supported by plenty of dense foam, and there wasn't a scratch anywhere.

Quality of Materials - The desktop has a nice, smooth laminate/melamine finish. The corners are rounded, which my hips appreciate, and the edges are beveled. The pre-drilled holes are clean and provide options for installing the control on either right or left side. The legs, feet, and horizontal support bars are very heavy and nicely finished. The holes on the metal pieces are clean-cut with smooth edges. One thing that impressed me was the rubber pads (washers?) on key spots where the base attached to the desktop, providing an extra point of cushioning and stability. For those who are concerned about the description indicating the country of origin for this product is China (as indicated in the product information above), the packaging for the product I received actually says "made in Vietnam."

Performance and Stability - Compared with my husband's more expensive Autonomous desk, the FlexiSpot EN1 transitions smoothly, quietly, and quickly. Regarding stability, I find the desk to be extremely solid, even in the higher-standing positions. My monitors have a slight amount of shake when I type, but that's only because they're freestanding on the cheap plastic frames they came with. I have no doubt that if I attached my monitors to a quality monitor arm, I wouldn't have any shaking. And for what it's worth, my husband's Autonomous desk has the same amount of minute vibration as my FlexiSpot EN1. If you really want to avoid any shake at all, go with FlexiSpot's newer four-legged "Odin" model.

Assembly - you've probably seen multiple reviews complaining about the lack of good assembly instructions. I'm a 66-year-old female and assembled this desk in about an hour and a half, by myself with absolutely no difficulty. I only asked for help to turn the desk upright. Honestly, if you've ever put together something from Ikea, you'll have no problem. The key is to be methodical and don't rush. Check off each item on the list as you unpack it. Pay close attention to the position of the piece you're assembling as compared to the picture. The materials are clearly labeled, and I thought the assembly went very smoothly. Yes, there are 4 holes that are not pre-drilled (2 for securing the horizontal support bar to the desktop and 2 to attach the control panel to the top), but with a little pressure, you'll easily be able to drive the screws in with just a phillips head screwdriver. Once assembled according to the instructions, the desk required absolutely no leveling or adjustments.

Cable Management - The FlexiSpot EN1 has a shelf to support the desk power box, and that's it. They do include a few sticky-back cable clips, but I wanted something more sturdy. I got the HOMEPROTEK Under Desk Cable Management Tray and some Alex Tech Cord mesh tubing (both from Amazon), and I was able to organize all the cords for my PC, two monitors, speakers, and tablet charging cable.

Great for the price

So I've recently received the 55x28 desk and put it together. Pretty straight forward for the most part. There was a step where you are screwing the table top and frame together and it asks for 2 screws in the middle. You will have to make your own pilot holes for those 2 which is scary but I was able to do so. As for the quality of material it is superb, and quite heavy. I'm able to fit a dual monitor arm and a boom arm. Noise quality is at a minimum when it comes to raising the desk up and down, the buttons have slight bumps on them so you'll know when you are pressing them. All in all I am pretty satisfied!

Exactly what I was looking for in my new home office!

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2024

Size: 55x28Color: Black Frame + Rustic BrownVerified Purchase

In an effort to streamline my office, I was doing a total makeover of my old and tired setup. After hours of searching and going through countless descriptions, I chose this stand-up desk for my new setup.

Ergonomics: This desk stood out from the rest in 2 distinct areas. The rustic brown color matched my office colors very well. It adds a warmth not found in white or black. The digital control and ease of setting up to 4 heights was very easy to understand. At 5’4” tall, the desk barely comes down far enough to have a comfortable arm position. A quick tweak upwards on the chair remedied that situation.

Price: The price of the desk, while not the cheapest, was still well below what I would expect to pay for something of this caliber.

Assembly: The instructions for this piece were easy to understand. I had the desk assembled in about an 45 minutes, but I am a perfectionist and wanted to make sure I did not miss anything since I plan on having this desk for a very long time.

Quality: The build of the products was excellent. The coloring of the desk was exactly what I was looking for. The single piece was also a must. I did not want to fool with variations in a 2 or 3 piece top. The 1” thick tabletop also provides a very sturdy service. The motor, while not silent, is very quiet and has no troubles lifting my dual monitor setup. my

Summary: I am very happy with this product and it is just what I was looking for.

A very solid value

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2024

Size: 48x24Color: Black Frame + Mahogany TopVerified Purchase

I just assembled the desk a few days ago. I'm impressed with the quality. It's an excellent value. The legs and desktop are heavy, which makes for a very stable desktop, even when raised up high. The mahogany Formica is attractive. The directions could benefit from a little text here and there, but the pictures for the most part tell you all you need to know.

Assembly Tips
In general, a good approach is to loosely assemble, and once things are together, tighten the screws. That holds true in this case, except for these steps:

- Step 1: when you attach the feet to the leg, go ahead and fully tighten those screws

- Step 3: when you attach the crossbar to opposite end of the legs, go ahead and fully tighten the screws that go into the legs; leave the ones in the middle loose for now. They don't tell you how wide to spread the crossbar. It helps to put the desktop on the floor face down. Position the legs a couple of inches in from the ends. In the next step, you'll be attaching a piece that will set the length of the crosspiece.

I would definitely buy this product again.
