FLEXISPOT Standing Desk Converter 28 Inches Stand up Desk Riser, Height Adjustable Home Office Desk with Deep Keyboard Tray for Laptop (M7B)

I have Veridesk at work and I really wanted one for at home, but did not want to pay the steep Veridesk price. So I've spent the last few weeks reading reviews, watching videos, and scoping out sales and I finally decided that the Flexispot should fit what I need for about half the price. Here's a breakdown of the differences that I have noticed and which one I prefer in each category...Size - TieYou'll want to measure and determine what space you have, and what height would be best for your eye level. For my eye level at 5'4, both work great. For width I have a 35" Flexispot and a 36" Veridesk. I have 2 monitors at work, and 1 extra wide gaming monitor at home, so both monitor setups take up a decent amount of space. Luckily, both desk systems easily fit them.Raising/Lowering - Tie (for different reasons)I LOVE the fact that the Flexispot goes STRAIGHT UP, instead of pulling towards me like the Veridesk. It saves a lot of space and fits much better in my small home office. However, Veridesk has levers and both sides (Flexispot only has a lever on the right side) and it is a little easier to raise the Veridesk. However, anyone stronger than a 115lb petite female will probably have no issues with the Flexispot.Keyboard Tray - VerideskBoth have good sized trays that fit a keyboard and mouse. Veridesk gets the win because there is a little more room to move the mouse around. You can see in my picture that my mousepad hangs slightly off the tray with the Flexispot, but it is an oblong shape. A square pad may fit fine. It is worth mentioning that Flexispot allows you to easily remove the keyboard tray if you prefer (which the Veridesk does not) and that could be a helpful feature to some.Overall Quality - VerideskSlight edge to Veridesk as it feels a little sturdier, and the mechanics seem a little smoother (and lighter). However, I was surprised & impressed at the Flexispot quality. Definitely worth the price in terms of quality.Value - FlexispotHands down, Flexispot wins on value...It's more affordable and the quality difference is minimal. Ultimately, if you're looking for a Veridesk but don't want to pay $400, I would highly recommend this as an alternative.Conclusion - I am very satisfied with my purchase and would give the Flexispot a 4.5 rating if half stars were possible.

The media could not be loaded.  Bought my Flexispot computer riser this was going to be a great item. I needed it for the 10+ working hours I do in front of my computer. To my surprise, after 5 months, the compression cylinder that provides the lift was not working any more. Contacted Amazon for technical support. After 48 hours, i was told to contact Flexispot. They weren't mush help and support. For the past 3 weeks, I went back and forth vis emails. I was asked to make a video of my computer lift when I'm lifting it, show proof of purchase, etc. In the end, I was told by Flexispot to contact Amazon for a refund. To this day, nothing has been resolved. I don't want a refund or a replacement. They can send me the cylinder and I'll replace it. I'm not asking for much!Follow up: Amazon finally allowed me to return the item and refunded my money.

The media could not be loaded.  I am not one to write a poor reviews but I am changing that trend right now.The desk seems Like it would be a great item. In fact, one that isn’t defective- I am sure is. My guess is that I received one of the few defective items. It happens. Along with the package comes the vendors notice to contact them versus Amazon if there’s any issues with the product. I used the desk for one day and raised and lowered it approximately three times over my eight hour shift. The next morning, the desk would not raise Easily and certainly did not stay up. I noticed that the hydraulic fluid had leaked out and was all over my desk and had dripped onto my chair. Wanting to be respectful of the companies request, I called them first thing to let them know of the issue. They asked me to take some pictures and send them via email. I did that. The next day or maybe two days later, they asked me to send a video. That was quite a dangerous request. I am alone during this whole Covid mess and trying to take a video of a non-functioning desk is not an easy task. It came down quickly and caught my finger. It could have gong very badly. Regardless, I did the best I could and sent it along. It has been two weeks since then and I haven’t heard a thing. I reached out a couple times to see if there was an update and still nothing.Again, I absolutely believe this is a good product. The customer service, however, should have all of you thinking about which company you use for your adjustable desk. It has been nothing short of a nightmare.

A few reasons why this desk is awesome:1. It came all assembled (have to slide in the keyboard tray but, - so what, it was easy!2. It is quite robust, say another way, very very sturdy3. The lift and descent action is very smooth, easy. It doesn't feel like I have a computer (27' iMac) and laptop on it when lifting. I imagine someone who has difficulty with lifting (injury etc.) would not have a problem.4. Although this is the "smallest" size, I have sufficient room for everything I need to put on it5. They include a black plastic mesh with velcro to wrap your wires - about 12"!6. They also include plastic wire fasteners (4) that you can stick to the underside for further organizing your wires7. The footings are rubber so they don't scratch your desk surface8. The shipping packaging is also quite robust9. It's easy to clean, and attractiveI don't have a monitor that could take advantage of this but there is included the hardware to attach one.I'm just very pleased, I got value for my money, and I get to finally stand, sit when the time is right.Thank you Flexispot!

This is my review of the 35” standing desk adapter (model no. M7MB) in black from Flexispot.I bought this several weeks ago because I was having pain in my lower back when sitting at my desk to work. I work at a computer for at least 6 hours every day and sitting for that long was becoming unbearable.I decided on a standing desk adapter because I did not want to change out my entire desk, and because I wanted versatility - eg being able to easily transfer the standing desk adapter to other desks and / or other workplaces in the future.I chose the Flexispot adapter because I had seen good reviews and because it was a much more sensible price than some of the better-known brands. Also it had everything I wanted: the ability to raise the height to exactly where I wanted (ie not limited to fixed heights set by a manufacturer), easy and quick raising and lowering, a keyboard tray of a good size as I use a standard-size keyboard and mouse, and a good working area that would still fit onto my 100cm x 80cm desk.The standing desk adapter was delivered within 24 hours of placing the order (thank you Amazon!). It came in a sealed cardboard box and was securely packaged in polystyrene inside the box, to prevent any damage in transit. The box contained the instructions booklet, standing desk adapter already assembled, and the separate removable keyboard shelf. All I had to do was lift the standing desk adapter out of the packaging (which I managed to do by myself even though two people are advised), position it where I wanted it on my desk, and slot the removable keyboard tray into place. That was it - no self-assembly or tools required. It could not have been easier.Before placing my computer equipment on it, I quickly checked that the adapter was stable and sturdy, that there were no sharp edges or loose parts, and that the raising/lowering mechanism worked as it should. Everything was fine. I found the raising/lowering mechanism to be smooth and quiet and easy to use with handles on either side and a gas-assisted lifting mechanism.I then placed my computer equipment on it, which includes a single screen, thin client, corded keyboard and mouse (please see photo). The instructions say that the adapter can support up to 15kg of equipment, including no more than 2kg on the keyboard tray. My equipment probably doesn’t weigh even half that - but it’s something to bear in mind if you use 2 screens or a lot of heavy gear.Since buying the adapter, it has not left my desk. I use it for hours every day, alternating between sitting and standing positions. The adapter is sturdy even in the standing position and does not cause screen wobble when typing. My lower back pain has completely gone since I began using the adapter, and additionally I feel that standing to work makes me more productive and have more energy than sitting all day long did.I am very glad I chose this adapter. I cannot think of any negatives so far at all. It is designed and constructed well and does everything I need. It was realistically priced. It has made a big difference to my working day, and I would recommend it without hesitation.

I was very happy with my purchase for the first few months. This is a study desk but I was able to move it up and down very easily. During the 4th month after receiving the desk I noticed that the desk no longer wanted to move up or down easily. You had to lift the whole weight of the desk, laptop and screen - hydraulic system that is there to ease this action was not working. I also noticed some leakage around the hydraulic arm.I try to contact Flexispot but they claimed I needed to work through Amazon. I was outside the return policy with Amazon and had to claim under the warranty. No luck yet.

SUPER HAPPY!! I pulled it out of the box and slid the keyboard tray in, closed the clamps and DONE! I was working off my new platform in 5 minutes after setting up the laptop and extra monitor.I didn’t strap down the legs of the base because I do like to move my desk depending on the season to different areas of my house. So I can’t ‘lean’ on the tray or it’ll fall forward, but that’s because I didn’t use the straps to secure the legs to the platform I have the tray sitting on. But I CAN still set up my laptop up and type without issue.It’s spacious to put a digital clock on (for timing my coaching sessions with clients, or monitoring time with my online workshops), and notebook, eyeglasses, coffee etc...I’m super happy! The price is great especially because I know what my old company paid for a platform similar to this.

I wasn't expecting much for the price, good ergonomic equipment is pretty expensive in general so I was expecting "good enough" to get me through until I bought a new desk altogether.Not the case here at all!It's stable, with decent heft and balance. At 5'10" I am looking at the bottom of my monitor, fully extended. So 6' and under should find this well-sized. It went together in about 2 minutes, just click the tray in place and you're done. The "feet" underneath needed slight adjustment but they stick on fine.The height adjustment piston is smooth and easy to control, not jarring or desk shaking. There's some cable management ties included so you don't knock stuff over while adjusting.Fully docked, the monitor is still well-positioned. The keyboard tray fits my large Microsoft Surface Book (just barely!) and even typing causes minimal shaking, it's really stable.I found a couple screw holes in the support bars so ran some screws through into the desk to add stability - it's rock solid and looks good. Wipes down nicely with regular lemon Pledge and a cloth. Good to go.Hoping this helps relieve chronic neck pain and headaches while working, I'm happy with what I got for the amount I paid with this. Great addition to any workspace.

Overall the unit is sturdy, but is difficult to lift to stand up position. When putting it down there is no mechanism to slow the unit down so you have to hold onto it so your computer doesn't slam down. if you have any back issues, I wouldn't recommend this as you will be leaning over and lifting to the upright position.
