I purchased the Flexispot EC1 Electric Standing Desk, which in my view is of the best value with its 48 in x 30 in desk surface providing more room to set up my dual 27-in monitors with just the right amount of the length of the 48 inch dimension of the desk, but the most significant advantage of this desk, at least for me, is the width of the desk at 30 in (from front to back), giving enough space of using the desk as an generous work space for writing, reading, as well as any task that I need a large surface to work on, particularly with the height adjustment, making it suitable for any projects that might require a standing versus a sitting position, giving this desk immense flexibility for carrying out different tasks in either a sitting or standing position, making it more than a desk for doing computer work.
I prefer the standing desk over the standing desk converter, which is powered by a manual hydraulic lifter for multiple reasons, with first and foremost being the lack of working space in the standing desk converter, which is designed with enough space only for a keyboard and a mouse without much extra space, secondly with the difficulties making fine adjustment to the height of the desk, simply because the difficulties in lifting the hydraulic mechanism, and last but not the least that by nature the standing desk converter is not sturdy enough for leaning, which I tend to do after standing for a prolonged period, and consequently, I gave up on the standing desk converter that I purchased and returned the product to the company after testing it for about several weeks, even though it is more economical.
After I set up the electric standing desk, I could immediately see the benefits of the desk because of its construction, sturdy and well built, with smoothing and quiet lifting mechanism that is very impressive to observe considering the weight of the desktop itself and the monitors that I placed top of the desk, but the most beneficial features of the desk is the seamless lifting mechanisms allowing adjustment of desk to any height, giving me the best position to work on whether in standing and sitting position, making my working environment more pleasant, pleasurable, and ergonomic for any tasks to be performed on this desk, and for the price of this desk, it is probably the best purchase that I have made for quite some time, and if you do not mind the color of the desk, you can receive a $40 rebate currently on Amazon for a desk with a white top and silver leg posts, which I chose without any hesitation, but still if you are interested in other colors, the costs of the Flexispot standing desk is a bargain in comparison to similar products from other companies.
Last but not the least is the service that I have received from Flexispot in taking care a problem that came with the leg post with the motor, which was defective in fitting the leg of the desk with the screws were not long enough to reach the nut on the leg post, and my frustration was communicated to the chat support agent, whom I would like to mention her name being Nina, because she made all the difference in calming me down by patiently providing all the necessary information to help me to resolve the issues in arranging a replacement leg post to resolve the situation, and her kindness and generosity in taking the time in helping me to resolve the problem made all the differences, and for that I would like express my gratitude.
In summary, Flexispot makes a great product, other than the problem that I have encountered with the leg post, the desk is strong, sturdy, smooth in lifting and lowering, great height both for standing and sitting, and I like the desk so much, I might consider purchasing another one for my wife's office, something to think about for her next birthday!
