With a height-adjustable standing desk, you can easily switch
positions between sitting and standing throughout your day – for
greater comfort and productivity.
Why do you need a standing desk?
We live in a world of hybrid work. And we’ve abruptly force-fit that
work into our homes, leaving us with makeshift spaces that never feel
quite as energizing as the office, or as comfortable as home. An
electric standing desk can:
Give your physical and mental well-being a lift
With the flexibility to change positions throughout the day,
you’ll be taking a stand against the effects of a sedentary
lifestyle, and be able to see things from an elevated perspective.
Adapt to whatever you’re doing
Whether you’re hard at work, taking some much-needed me time, or
giving the kids a space for homework, a height-adjustable standing
desk can adapt to your home life as well as your work life .
Give your employees a productive working environment
For your employees to be at their best, they need to feel at their
best, wherever they’re working from. A standing desk gives them a
comfortable work environment that helps them meet their full
potential.
What to consider when shopping for a standing desk
Stability
Using a desk that wobbles as you work can be frustrating. Some
standing desks that are on the maximum height setting can
wobble when typing, moving the mouse or leaning on the desk
edge. A premium FlexiSpot standing desk, like the E7, can give
you a stable foundation for your work that you can rely on,
without wobbling on the highest setting, the lowest setting,
or anywhere in between.
Durability
When you invest in a height-adjustable standing desk, you’ll
want one that lasts. So, it’s wise to invest in a high-quality
desk that can support you for years to come, which means it’ll
be worth every penny. All FlexiSpot desks are built to last.
In fact, we’re so confident in their quality that desks like
the E7 come with a 15 year warranty.
Height range
How tall are you? Different electric standing desks can reach
different heights. It’s helpful to measure what your ideal
height is for working standing up, as well as sitting down.
Whether you’re sitting or standing, and for the greatest
comfort and support, your desk should reach just under your
elbows when you’re using the keyboard.
Desk depth
Desk depth is the distance between the front and the back of
the desk. How much space do you need to work with? If you’re
using a computer on the desk, how far away do you want the
monitor from you? Finding your ideal monitor distance can help
reduce eye strain.
Weight capacity
If you need a lot of equipment in your workspace, you need a
desk that can take the weight of it all. Different desks
actually have different weight capacities. For example, the
E7Q Odin can hold up to 660 lbs for the heaviest of workloads.
So, it’s a good idea to think about how much weight capacity
you need for your work, or hobbies.
Adjustment speed
If you want to quickly adjust from sitting to standing, you’ll
want a faster adjustment speed. But you might also be
comfortable with a slower adjustment speed to give you a break
while you’re switching positions. Different models of
height-adjustable standing desks come with different motors
which adjust at different speeds.
Noise
The noise of a motor for adjusting the level of an electric
standing desk is small. But different motors can have varying
levels of noise. If you want a completely silent working
environment, you’ll want one of the quieter motors like the E7
Pro.
Desktop material
You can choose between a range of different desktop
surfaces, including: laminated, fiberboard, solid wood,
bamboo, and glass. At FlexiSpot, we use desktop materials
that meet the highest E0 environmental protection standard,
so you can rest easy knowing that they’re planet-friendly
and safe.
Protect your children’s tiny fingers with a child-lock safety
feature, or shield your equipment from damage with a standing
desk that comes with an anti-collision feature.
FlexiSpot Standing Desk Features
Motor
C-frame and T-frame
Leg stages
Keypad panels
Anti-collision system
You can choose between a single motor or a Dual-motor on a FlexiSpot standing desk. A single motor is perfect for a lightweight setup, and adjusts the height easily. A Dual-motor gives you better performance with two powerful motors on each side of the desk. It can handle heavier equipment, adjusts quickly and has greater stability.
A T-frame standing desk has the legs in the middle of the desk, centered on the feet, giving them that T shape for greater stability. A C-frame desk has legs at the back of the desk, at the end of the feet, which gives you more leg room as well as space for a cabinet, or a computer case. A semi-C frame standing desk means that the desk legs are positioned slightly towards the back of the desk, so you have both stability and extra space – for legroom or extra storage.
Our standing desks come with 2-stage or 3-stage legs. 2-stage legs are perfect if you’re 5 '10’’ (178 cm) or less in height. If you’re taller than that, we’d recommend 3-stage legs. The 3-stage legs are also more stable at the highest setting.
There are 4 types of keypad panels that can give you a variety of features:
Basic
Two buttons to raise and lower the desk to your perfect height.
LED touchscreen.
Two USB Ports.
Standard

To find your ideal desk height when standing (or sitting),
the desk should be high enough to reach just under your
elbows while you’re using the keyboard. Your eyes should
also be level with the top third of the computer monitor;
this will help you find the perfect height, and protect you
from eye strain.

How long should you stand for?
Change positions from sitting to standing every 30-60
minutes. Generally, it’s recommended that you stand for 30
minutes after an hour of sitting. It’s also helpful to move
around regularly, so you don’t tense up when standing.
