A study by the Society for Human Resource Management found that standing desks are the fastest-growing employee benefit in the country. So who makes a suitable standing desk?

What is Flexispot E7 Pro Plus Standing Desk?

Flexispot E7 Pro Plus Standing Desk come in two boxes: one for desk and another for the desktopGearBrain

The E7 Pro Plus is one of Flexispot's standing desks designed to be sturdy when working, raising, or lowering your desk. It comes with thicker leg columns and optimal column gap design to ensure all stages of columns move smoothly and seamlessly. It also has a solid carbon steel base structure, guaranteeing a durable experience when raising or lowering the desk.

The E7 Pro Plus is sleek and durable because of the industry-leading laser-welding technique. The legs are holeless, and it has a high temperature-resistant and anti-wear coating to help prevent the desktop from fading. Also, the company used Nordson Enviro Coat powder spraying system to help meet its sustainability goals. They were used to build the desk.

To help you control your desk's movement, the E7 Pro Plus comes with a touchscreen keypad with a built-in embedded USB charging port. This will help you keep your smartphone or any mobile device charged when working. The touchscreen has controls to help you lower and raise your desk. You can also program your height (standing and sitting) presets using the keypad. There is also a child lock. A touch of a button locks your desk, so it can't go up or down when a child hits a button, or your pet accidentally hits the touchscreen.

Regarding the desktop, users can choose from five different desktops in multiple colors and sizes to use with their E7 Standing Desk. There is Chipboard, Bamboo, Fiberboard, Solid Wood, and Bamboo with Wireless Charger. The colors depend on the type of desktop you buy. Chipboard and Solid Wood come in four colors, while Fiberboard is only available in black. And the sizes range from as small as 48x24" to as big as 55x28". The E7 Pro Plus with Wireless Charger has only one desktop, Bamboo, and it comes in a 55x28" desktop. All colors and designs are on the website. Also, keep in mind that all desktops cost extra.

How to install your Flexispot E7 Pro Plus Standing Desk

Installing your Felixspot standing desk is relatively easy. The desk comes with all the hardware and screws you need, plus directions. Just follow the supplied directions, and you should have everything set up within an hour. Note that the desk's legs are heavy; you might need help to assemble them at the desk. I would recommend having a power drill handy to help you screw the desktop to the desk frame. You can use a screwdriver, but a drill will help things go quicker.

Performance

At first, we were a little overwhelmed when we got the desk. The base is hefty and came in a separate box from the desktop. The reason is the legs of this standing desk. They are heavy but strong enough to handle a lot of weight. Next up was assembling the desk, which was easy, and the instructions were easy to follow. There is no app, so you do have to rely on the printed instructions. Having voice control or an app would have been nice but not a must-have today.

I did like the touchscreen keypad. Setting our standing and sitting heights was accessible, and the USB charging port was an excellent addition. I didn't see many other standing desks with this feature. I did see a few standing desks that offer charging ports as an add-on, but none had touchscreens.

The movement of the desktop was very smooth. I have used standing desks before, but they didn't move as smoothly as the Flexispot. You don't have to worry about anything falling off your desk when raising or lowering the desk. Also, it is very quiet when it moves up and down.

The best feature of all for the E7 is its design and build. This is a sturdy, well-built desk that can withstand any office environment. You can put about anything on it, and it will not collapse. You could sleep on it if you wanted to. I put my grandchild on the desk and was able to raise and lower the desk with no problem. The operation was smooth and clean.
