This modern and sleek design was made with comfort in mind
I didn’t quite enjoy working from a desk before I got the Flomotion Sisu standing desk. This desk has converted me into a desk lover to the point where you will always find me here. The desk is big enough for you to not only have a smooth 9-5 but also use it for other craft hobbies, which is what I have been doing. Standing desks have quickly become the new work-from-home accessory, and, for me, this might just be the best standing desk for beginners.
This UK-made desk is the 55in model in reclaimed wood, featuring a weight load capacity of 160kg and a height range of 23.4 to 49in, making it suitable for most people. The generous 10-year warranty is very welcome, too. But are appearances deceptive? I took a look to find out. Flomotion Sisu: Unboxing
The standing desk arrived in four large, well-packaged boxes. There was no noticeable wear and tear in the packaging and all components were protected during transit. The biggest box was for the tabletop, another box for the legs, and two medium-sized boxes for the accessories including cable management components. Right off the bat, the first thing I noticed was there was no physical instruction manual provided and the boxes were not labeled so it took some time to figure out how to build the desk. There is a comprehensive online video guide which is clear and easy to follow. Also worth noting is that all the screws were labeled correctly which further facilitated the assembly process.
Though I must admit that carrying those boxes by myself was not easy and given the size and weight of the components, assembling the desk is best suited for two people. The quality of the packaging indicated a premium product, with each part individually wrapped and secured. The unboxing process was straightforward, though identifying the various parts without a physical manual took some extra time.
Overall, the unboxing and assembly took approximately two hours. This may seem long but this was my first time building a standing desk and it is safe to say that the clear instructions in the video made the process manageable, albeit with numerous steps to follow. However, there are no pre-drilled holes to connect the battery, so you would need a drill.
