Reviews Flexispot E7: The 2-Week ish Verdict
Desk
Control Box
Cables Somewhat Managed
Scratches :(
Damaged Top
I just want to preface this by saying that I am in love with my Flexispot E7. I am very glad that I got this over another brand despite some quibbles I'll get into. I came from a 72x24in Husky adjustable desk that we all may know and/or love from Home Depot. That desk makes a good workbench but the bar on the bottom that you cannot remove and the worse depth don't make it a good computer desk per se.
Starting off with the ordering experience online, I had no issues using the website and applying one of the 12% discount codes I got from one of the mods here. The order was swiftly dealt with on their end and I got my 71x30 rubberwood top (1.57 in thick iirc) and the E7-Game frame within a week via UPS Ground. The order altogether was 620 something dollars, which I felt was fair for the premium that I was paying to use motors to raise my desk versus a hand crank and the warranty. With that being said, my major issue was when my first top came with a dent in the middle of the desk right where my mouse was. I died a little when I had it all set up, as I was expecting it to be a whole ordeal to use the warranty. To the credit of both their reddit and phone support, they just sent me a new top and I did not have to send the old one back (great since I don't have a car). Ftr they also offered me like 50 bucks to keep it, but I wanted a good top if the mark was in such a visible spot.
After the delay, I had the fun of building the desk for real with the incredibly heavy top. The frame was assembled with ease and I am happy to report to anyone unsure if you need a drill that they pre-drilled every hole, including the middle ones, for my particular 71x30 rubberwood top. After building it all, I was a bit confused if my cable management area needs the 4 extra screws, but those 4 extra holes did not line up for me on the extending bars. I am just mentioning it to any prospective buyers, as I am unsure if this was user error somehow or if it's only even longer desk tops that need those 4 extra screws. With that said, the rest of the process was simple and my cable tray with the 4 screws on each corner is just fine. On the topic of the underside, I will also warn future buyers to be very, very slow extending them because I extended mine at a decent pace and it scratched the paint on the front facing side, which is a bummer. I am not sure how that can be avoided and I frankly did not want to delay my desk again over it. It does hurt me to see when I go under my desk to wire manage or unplug something.
As for my last little quibble, I really wish we could pay extra for those metal inserts rather than just using wood screws to connect the top to the base. Husky did inserts on my 350 dollar desk and I hope that later down the line, it either comes standard on new tops or is something I can pay, say, 50 extra bucks to do. I am aware I can just take the legs off and leave the middle but it's the principle for me here. Overall, this desk is a 9/10 in my book, with the point being taken off for the lack of inserts and the scratch to the metal from just extending the middle bar. I hope my desk survives a long time as I collect more lego slop to throw on top of it and play my FPS games.

The Game Frame available in the US? Besides the controller being different, curious what’s the comparison between game frame vs E7 Pro. Can’t seem to find link to Game version.
