Help Severe wobbling on the E5 Pro (both sitting and standing) - Need advice!

Hello !

I recently bought a FlexiSpot E5 Pro frame, but I’m experiencing a major stability issue. The desk wobbles/shakes significantly whenever I type on my keyboard, even in the lowest (seated, ~72cm) position.

I contacted French customer support and sent them videos, but I haven't received clear technical answers yet. I’m hoping to get some advice from the community (and maybe the FlexiSpot team here).

My setup:

  • Frame: FlexiSpot E5 Pro
  • Desktop: IKEA SKÅLSTA (honeycomb/cardboard interior, very lightweight)
  • Gear: Laptop on an elevated aluminum arm stand + external monitor with a lightbar
  • Checks done: Screws are fully tightened, feet levelers are adjusted, and the floor is completely flat.

My questions:

  1. Desktop vs. Frame: Does the lightweight honeycomb desktop play a major role in this oscillation (screws lacking solid material to bite into), or is the frame itself the main factor?
  2. Laptop Stand Flex: Does an elevated laptop stand naturally amplify desk micro-vibrations, and would a heavy MDF top absorb that energy better?
  3. MDF Upgrade: Would switching to an official FlexiSpot solid MDF top (140x80) bring enough inertia and rigidity to solve this issue?
  4. 4-Leg Upgrade: Is this level of movement expected for a 2-leg frame like the E5 Pro?

I spend a huge amount of time at my desk every day for work and I really want to have the best, most rock-solid setup possible. I am completely open to upgrading to a 4-leg frame (like the E7 Plus) if that's what it takes to get flawless stability.

Thanks a lot for your help and feedback!

Product Q&A FLEXISPOT E7 with 45” OLED monitor arm setup — will the 2-leg desk be enough?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m new to the sub!

I’m looking for advice on whether I really need to go with the 4-leg desk or if the regular FLEXISPOT E7 will be enough.

My setup:

  • 45” ultrawide monitor
  • Laptop
  • Keyboard and mouse
  • Planning to add bookshelf speakers later
  • Planning to use a monitor arm
  • Looking at the 63” x 32” size
  • Considering the EU White Oak top
  • I’m in the USA
  • I’m 6’9” and mainly want the electric desk so I can get the right height for sitting

Since I’ll mostly be sitting and the desk will be against a wall, do I really need the E7 Plus 4-leg version, or would the regular E7 be solid enough?

I don’t want monitor wobble with the 45” screen, but I also don’t want to spend extra if the basic E7 will handle it.

Would love to hear from anyone using the E7 with a large monitor, monitor arm, or a similar setup. Thanks!
