The E7 mini standing desk from FlexiSpot is going to appeal to a UK audience. Unlike our American friends, our houses are built with quirks, and we’re packed in like sardines. Therefore, gaming and working spaces are at a premium, and we tend to set up a desk wherever there is a free corner.
If you live in a cottage as I do, you’ll find it even more challenging to find the right space. No wall is straight, and a massive standing desk will not do. Luckily, this compact product offers the benefit of every other FlexiSpot item, but with the convenience of a minuscule design.
Although it may be smaller than many of its peers, it has every safety system for peace of mind. Moreover, the frame is built to last, and there are 2 near-silent motors to guarantee quiet and smooth worktop operation. The result is an impressive desk that doesn’t cut corners.
What’s in the box of the E7 mini standing desk?
- The packaging is understated but durable. Moreover, it is heavy, so a second person is advised.
- The frame and tabletop are packaged separately. Each is well protected, and your desk will arrive in pristine condition.
- Nuts, bolts, and tools are provided.
- Learn the basics with the user manual.
Technical aspects.
The E7 mini standing desk offers impressive specs and a compact size. This desk is ideal for a box room, under the stairs cupboard, or a desk in your child’s bedroom. It has a reassuringly strong base and some of the best safety features available. There is anti-collision technology, 4 recordable height settings, a 160 kg weight capacity, and 42 mm/s lifting speed. The latter point may seem slow, but it isn’t! It offers smooth movement between sitting and standing positions. Furthermore, if you are using this in a household, you can store settings for adults and children for the perfect operating height.
Other standing desk companies offer mini desks. However, they only use 1 motor. Although this is suitable, the movement isn’t smooth, and it’s a lot of work for one motor to handle. Thankfully, the E7 mini standing desk has a pair of motors to share the load. The result is buttery smooth movement that never buckles under the strain.
Safety.
Moving objects and young children are not a match made in heaven. Sadly, kids find standing desks a fascinating invention and moving the worktop up and down is oddly entertaining. Although this may be amusing, it creates a potential trapping and safety issue. Thankfully, the E7 mini standing desk overcomes this problem with its anti-collision technology.
If the desk detects that it has encountered a foreign object and it cannot move, it will stop and move to a point where the obstacle can be removed. This is a reassuring design that prevents fingers, heads, hands, and other body parts from becoming trapped within the mechanism of the desk.
Build quality.
FlexiSpot offers some of the best quality around. The desk frames are heavy, robust, and built to last. The industrial-grade steel is incredibly durable and stable. Unlike its competitors, this brand delivers a desk that is rigid at its maximum 1230mm range. Furthermore, the desktop is incredibly hard-wearing and easy to maintain. This is the ideal approach, as kids can be messy and keeping your desk in pristine condition is a must.
Unlike its bigger counterparts, the E7 mini standing desk is designed to incorporate a maximum desk size of 1000mm by 800mm. This may seem small if you have a huge office, but it is perfect for its intended user. If you need an up to 2000mm alternative, the E7 standard desk would be a good choice. Finally, you can choose a black or white frame and a range of worktops at checkout. This ensures that you have the ideal workstation for your needs.
Is the E7 mini standing desk worth it?
The E7 mini standing desk is a brilliant, compact option for modern users. It removes the concern of bulky and large furniture that’ll dominate your office or child’s bedroom. Instead, this durable product delivers all the health benefits of a standing desk in smaller spaces. The result is an exceptional piece of furniture that I can’t help but recommend!
