Flexispot E7 Flow Desk Review: Installation & Performance

A detailed review of the Flexispot E7 Flow standing desk covers the ordering, shipment, and a challenging 10-hour installation. The reviewer, a remote worker upgrading from a basic desk, chose this model over the four-legged E7 Plus for a lighter setup, hoping to avoid common stability issues.

The assembly instructions proved problematic, described as a 'nightmare' for beginners. Critical details were missing, like how to orient the C-shaped legs or that some parts were in different boxes than the manual stated. This led to significant confusion, especially when screwing the desktop to the frame and later replacing those screws for the cable tray.

Once built, the desk performs well in its primary function. The height adjustment is smooth and quiet, and the standing position is stable for typing. However, the sitting experience is compromised by monitor wobble, likely from the desk's own stability. The ergonomic edge also takes getting used to and limits clamping accessories, a notable trade-off for some users.
