Flexispot E7 Plus Standing Desk
The Flexispot E7 Plus is an extremely sturdy standing desk that’s a worthy investment for your health and workflow when working at your Mac.
Over the past few years, innovations in standing desks and the day-to-day practice of bringing standing desks into workspaces (both at home and in the office) have become the norm.
Whether it be for posture, comfort, or health reasons, standing desks appear to here to stay. As someone who spends a considerable amount of time at my desk usually over a 27″ Xencelabs drawing tablet with less-than-ideal posture, the idea of moving to a standing desk piqued my curiosity.
When the opportunity to test the Flexispot E7 Plus Standing Desk arose, I eagerly seized the chance to experience the hype firsthand.
Among the manufacturers on the market providing options for standing desks to fit every need, Flexispot stands out as a brand working to create sturdy, functional, and more affordable offerings in a competitive market.
Flexispot E7 Plus Standing Desk — What’s in the Box?
The E7 Plus arrives in three separate boxes: The desktop and two individual boxes for the leg components, instructions, and electronics.
I know that only a few of us would appreciate this, but the packing and shipping of these boxes are next-level. I have never seen anything so padded and secure that it carries the size and weight of a standing desk. It’s unreal.
After unboxing, I was pleased to find printed instructions with the desk among the components. Many companies are moving toward QR codes with online-only manuals or assembly videos on their sites or YouTube.
Maybe I am old school, but I like having the paper instructions that I will almost always misplace, cuss, and locate after 10 minutes of searching. I respect the old ways.
Flexispot E7 Plus Standing Desk — Assembly and Build Quality
The first thing you need to know about the E7 Plus is this: it is heavy. Very heavy.
This is a natural side effect with standing desks, as the motors and the nature of the materials mean everything needs to be a little beefier. However, this can make assembling and moving the desk around more challenging.
I live alone, and while the instructions are clear and concise, this is still a two-person task. But, I had to make it work. Moving the heavier components for assembly was a bit precarious.
Thankfully, the assembly process was a breeze, and the customer was only asked to provide a Phillips head screwdriver or electric drill with a Phillips head bit.
