The FlexiSpot Kana Pro Bamboo Standing Desk is built from sustainable materials and features a unique design.
Staying seated at your office desk all day can have negative effects on your health whether you’re still working from home or have already returned to the office. In order to be more active and break up their workdays a bit, more and more users have turned to standing desks which allow you to move from a seated to a standing position with the push of a button. While FlexiSpot’s parent company Loctek. Inc was founded in 1998, it wasn’t until 2015 when production factories were first set up in Vietnam and its first Standing Desk (the ET102) hit the market. Today FlexiSpot has an R&D team of over 600 engineers,1,000 active patents and over 1,000 enterprises including Google, IBM, Bank of America, Marriott, Starbucks and more have turned to the company to outfit their offices. Today we’ll be taking a closer look at the design, features, build quality, assembly process and performance of FlexiSpot’s Kana Pro Bamboo standing desk to see whether its sustainable bamboo desktop made from natural bamboo strips is the right upgrade for your workspace or office. FlexiSpot sells the Kana Pro Bamboo Standing Desk for $540 on its website with the option to choose a rectangular or curved desktop as well as either a black or white frame. While the standard desktop is 48 x 24-inches you can upgrade to one that is 55 x 28-inches for an additional $60 or 60 x 30 inches for $180. If you don’t mind having a lower load capacity (154lbs vs 275lbs), only a single motor and a less advanced keypad, FlexiSpot also sells the Kana Bamboo Standing Desk for $329 at the time of writing. Regardless of which model you choose, FlexiSpot offers free shipping within the contiguous United States,30-day risk free returns,24/7 customer service and a 5-year warranty with all of its standing desks. The Kana Pro sets itself apart from similarly priced standing desks due to its bamboo desktop. The desktop is built from strands of natural bamboo but there is also a lacquer coating to help protect it from scratches, water and insects according to FlexiSpot. While the desktop is just 0.7-inches thick, bamboo has twice the durability of ordinary wood which allows the Kana Pro Bamboo to support up to 275lbs (124.7kg). This means that you should have no problems using this desk with multiple monitors and a large desktop PC. Although you can choose between a black or white frame, the white really complements the bamboo desktop and the two pair well together. Unlike the majority of standing desks we’ve reviewed in the past that feature rectangular legs, FlexiSpot chose to equip the Kana Pro with oval legs instead to add to its aesthetic appeal. The two motorized “T” shaped legs are inserted into the frame which is then attached to the desktop using wood screws. Thankfully, the desk’s control box comes pre-attached to the frame so you don’t have to install it yourself. The cables from both legs as well as the keypad at the front of the desk plug into the control box and FlexiSpot provides a cable tray to hide the desk’s wires from view. The company also sells a separate cable management tray for $25.
