  • Removable keyboard tray

    This makes it comfortable and convenient for use with or without a laptop. With easy one-step attachment, the 18.5” wide U-shaped desktop cutout fits over the keyboard tray, easily fitting a 17” laptop.

  • Straight up-down operation

    FlexiSpot standing desk converters are raised and lowered vertically, rather than outwards, offering more stability and saving space.

  • Single handle, stepless height adjustment

    The desk may be heightened or lowered to your optimum height with only one arm by using a single handle. Anyone with back, arm, or wrist problems will find this feature a pleasure.

  • A wider height range

    This will suit taller users, as it offers a height range between 4.7” – 19.7”, more than our competitors offer. For those really tall people, a 28” desk height caters for users up to 6’1” and a 31” desk height caters for users up to 6’5”.

  • Specially Braced X-Lift Structure

    A fully loaded desk may overstress an unbraced lifting mechanism. We ensure safety and stability as we use a patented engineered bracing system that ensures smooth operation at all heights and under full load.

  • High-Quality Construction & Stable base design

    The FlexiSpot M7 series comprises a stable, sturdy heavy duty steel frame in conjunction with top-quality gas springs to prevent any unevenness and shaking of the structure. The smooth work surface comprises environmentally friendly MDF. The M7 has a weight capacity of 33lbs and the M7L 44lbs.
