Flexispot is kicking off its Labor Day Sale with up to 60% off their most popular standing desks. We like Flexispot because they offer quality electric standing desks with all the features you'd want at a fraction of the price compared to other more well-known models. I've personally been using a Flexispot E5 desk for years now and if I were in the market right now, I'd have no qualms getting another.
New Flexispot Coupon Code Available
Flexispot E5 Desk starting at $189.99
The Flexispot E5 desk is, in my opinion, the best value electric standing desk while still offering all the premium features you'd want. Right now it costs $189.99 (normally $379.99) for the base only and desktop surfaces start at $80. The Flexispot E5 is the least expensive model featuring dual motors. Dual motor lifts are preferred over single motor because they can support more weight (in this case 287 pounds max) and they last longer because the stress is distributed evenly across both motors. The desktop is supported by a double crossbeam structure so that your surface is evenly supported to prevent any sagging. The legs are made of steel and feature a 3-stage column. Most standing desks in this price range only have a 2-stage column. A 3-stage column is better because it supports a greater vertical range (in this case 23.6" to 49.2"). An anti-collision feature, a must-have in all desks, will stop the desk when it detects obstruction of the motor. Finally, the keypad controls offer three memory presets and a timer to remind you when to swap sit/stand positions. The E5 comes with a 10 year warranty on all metal, mechanical and electrical parts and components, including the motor.
Flexispot E7 Desk starting at $299.99
The E7 currently costs $299.99 (normally $499.99) for the base only and desktop surfaces start at $80. For an extra $140, the Flexispot E7 offers better build quality, a higher weight threshold, more included accessories, and a longer warranty. The lifting capacity has been upgraded from 287 pounds to 355 pounds. Aesthetically, the legs look more professional aesthetically, with laser-welded seams, powder-coated finish, with no visible holes. The advanced keyboard has been upgraded with an LCD display, more memory presets, a built-in USB charger, and a child-lock function that's a necessity for those of us with inquisitive toddlers. The E7 also comes with a built-in cable tray under the desk to stow away all of your messy wiring. Finally, the Flexispot E7 boasts an increased 15 year warranty on all metal, mechanical and electrical parts and components, including the motor.
Flexispot E7 Pro Desk starting at $399.99
The E7 Pro is Flexispot's creme de la creme standing desk. It's recent released so it isn't nearly as heavily discounted as the other models. Currently it costs $399.99 (normally $599.99) for the base only and desktop surfaces start at $80. The E7 Pro features the best build quality of the three listed here, and it certainly shows with a weight capacity of a whopping 440 pounds. Flexispot claims the motor for the E7 Pro is superior to the standard dual motor setup you'll find in the E5 and E7 and other brands, offering smoother and faster movement. You also get more cable management options included than even the E7. The Flexispot E7 Pro comes with the same 15 year warranty as the E7 on all metal, mechanical and electrical parts and components, including the motor.
Consider getting the frame here and desktop elsewhere.
I have three standing desks. One of the standing desks included a desktop, however for the other two desks I sourced my own. For one of them I purchased a massive 74"x26" maple veneered countertop from Ikea for $199. For the other one I purchased a 48"x25" solid wood countertop from Home Depot and finished it myself. Personally I don't think you can go wrong with any of those choices, and there are more options available. The point is, these standing desk bases don't need the desktops sold by the manufacturer. If you want to install your own desktop, by all means do so as long as they are within the weight limitations.
How does the Flexispot compared to other brands?
I can only speak from personal experience. I own a Jarvis Fully, a Vari Ergo, and a Flexispot E5. All three are excellent desks that have caused me no problems whatsoever in the 3+ years of owning them, and that's the point. The Flexispot E5 is considerably less expensive than the other two options, and yet I don't really see where much of that cost is going. For a similar price of a barebones Jarvis Fully, you could get the top end Flexispot E7 Pro and still come out with more money in your pocket.
I'm not the only person at IGN who recommends this brand. We rated Flexispot as the best overall standing desk for 2024 in our standing desk buying guide.
