You may have heard of electric sit-stand desks , these innovative desks which offer you the possibility of varying postures between sitting and standing, depending on your needs and desires!
But among the many models available on the market, which one should you choose?
Today I'm going to tell you about the E7 PRO desk from Flexispot next-generation sit-stand desk that stands out for its advanced features and elegant design. I had the opportunity to test this desk, and I will give you my detailed opinion on its strengths and weaknesses. Let's go !
Flexispot is currently offering discounts to celebrate the start of the school year valid until October 6:
Why choose this type of office?
Sitting for too long can have detrimental effects on the body and mind, such as muscle pain, circulatory disorders, reduced productivity or increased stress. On the other hand, alternating postures between sitting and standing can have multiple benefits , such as:
- Stimulate blood circulation and metabolism
- Prevent back pain and muscle tension
- Improve posture and body alignment
- Increase energy and focus
An electric sit-stand desk therefore allows you to work in optimal conditions, by adapting the desk to your needs and desires, rather than adapting to the desk!
Technical characteristics of the E7 PRO office
The E7 PRO desk is an electric sit-stand desk that consists of a solid wood top and a sturdy steel frame.
To carry out this test, we received the E7 pro desk with a 120 x 60 cm bamboo wood top. !
It has an electric height adjustment system, which allows the height of the tray to be adjusted between 63 cm and 129 cm , depending on the size of the user and the desired position.
The adjustment is made using a touch control panel located under the tabletop, which also displays the current height of the desk. The panel also has programmable height memory, which allows up to four preferred positions to be saved and easily accessed with the press of a button.
The movement of the desk is quiet and smooth, thanks to the two motors integrated into each leg of the frame. The desk can support a maximum load of 160 kg, which allows you to install multiple screens, accessories or personal items on it without problem.
Depending on the dimensions you choose, the tabletop can be 120cm to 180cm wide and 60cm to 80cm deep, providing ample workspace for most activities! It is available in several colors: white, black, gray or natural wood.
The advantages of the electrical system
I have already been able to test other height-adjustable desks. But I have to say that the electrical system of the Flexispot E7 PRO desk has several advantages over other height adjustment systems, such as manual or pneumatic systems.
First of all, it allows for more precise and faster adjustment, since you only need to press a button to change the height of the desk .
Then, it allows a more personalized and comfortable adjustment, since it allows you to save your favorite positions and find them easily. Finally, it allows for quieter and smoother adjustment, since there is no noise or shaking when changing height.
The characteristics of the tabletop and frame
The E7 PRO desk top and frame are designed to provide optimal quality and durability. The top is made of solid wood, which gives it a warm and natural look. It is also easy to clean and maintain , thanks to its scratch and stain resistant coating.
The frame is made of steel, which gives it great strength and good stability. It is even very heavy!
It also has a built-in cable management system , which keeps wires organized under the tabletop and prevents tangles.
The design of the desk is sleek and modern, and fits any decor style.
Assembly and installation of the E7 PRO desk
The E7 PRO desk comes in two packages: one for the tabletop and one for the frame. Assembly is quite simple and does not require specific tools. Simply follow the instructions provided in the manual or on the Flexispot website.
It takes about 20 minutes to fully assemble the desk .
Once assembly is complete, plug the office power supply cable into an electrical outlet and check that everything is working correctly.
Installation tips
Here are some tips for installing the E7 PRO office in the best conditions:
- Choose a suitable location, which offers enough space to work seated or standing, and which has a nearby electrical outlet
- Use cable ties or clips to secure cables under the tabletop or to the wall to prevent them from dangling or getting in the way
- Use an anti-fatigue mat or footrest to improve comfort when working standing or sitting
E7 PRO Desktop Usage and Experience
I have been using the E7 PRO desktop for several days, and I must say that I am very satisfied with the desktop.
I mostly work from home, on my laptop, and often spend long hours in front of my screen. Before, I had a classic desk, which forced me to sit all day. I often experienced pain in my back, neck and shoulders, as well as a feeling of tiredness and weariness.
Since I got the E7 PRO desk, I can change my position whenever I want, going from sitting to standing in seconds.
I feel more dynamic, more focused and more productive . I vary the postures according to my mood, my energy level or the type of task I am carrying out.
For example, I prefer to work standing up when I have to do research on the internet, respond to emails or participate in online meetings. I find that it allows me to be more alert and more responsive.
When I have to write a text or take a break, I prefer to work sitting down, to relax and rest. I no longer have back or neck pain, and I feel more comfortable in my work space.
The benefits of the change in posture that it brought me
The change in posture between sitting and standing brings me several benefits, both physically and mentally. On a physical level, I notice that my blood circulation has improved, my muscles are more relaxed and my posture has corrected. I no longer have feelings of stiffness or numbness in my legs or arms. I feel lighter and more flexible.
I find that changing posture allows me to vary the stimuli and break the monotony.
Control panel features
The E7 PRO desktop control panel is very convenient and easy to use. It is located under the tray, on the right, and it is tactile. It allows me to adjust the height of the desk by pressing the up or down arrows, or by pressing one of the four programmable buttons.
It also tells me the current height of the desk in centimeters , which lets me know if I'm in the correct position.
The panel also has a locking function , which allows me to prevent accidental adjustments or manipulation by children. To activate or deactivate the lock, simply press the button with the padlock symbol for three seconds. The panel beeps to confirm activation or deactivation of the lock.
Finally, on the right side of the control panel is a USB port!
Tips for optimizing desktop use
Here are some tips to optimize the use of the E7 PRO office and take full advantage of its benefits:
- Change posture regularly , at least once an hour, to avoid a sedentary lifestyle and stimulate the body and mind
- Adjust the height of the desk according to your size and position, ensuring that the tabletop is at elbow height, shoulders are relaxed and your gaze is at the level of the screen
- Use an ergonomic seat , which supports the back and promotes good sitting posture
- Use a wireless keyboard and mouse, which allows you to work without distance or cable constraints
- Take regular breaks to get up, stretch, walk or drink a glass of water
What is the difference between the E7 and E7 pro model?
The main difference between the E7 model and the E7 PRO model from Flexispot is that the E7 PRO model is an upgraded version of the E7 model, which offers additional features and a sleeker design. Here are some examples of the differences between the two models:
- The E7 PRO model has a more efficient electrical system , which allows faster, more precise and quieter adjustment of the desk height. It also has a higher load capacity, supporting up to 160 kg, compared to 125 kg for the E7 model.
- The E7 PRO model offers a wider choice of solid wood tops, with varying colors and materials, such as bamboo wood, walnut wood or maple wood. The E7 model offers a more limited choice of chipboard tops, with more classic colors, such as white, black or gray.
- The E7 PRO model incorporates an under-the-top cable management system , which helps tidy up wires and prevent tangling. The E7 model requires the purchase of additional cable management accessories, such as cable ties or clips.
- The E7 PRO model has a more modern and refined design , with square legs and thick columns, which reinforce the stability and aesthetics of the desk. The E7 model has a simpler and more basic design, with round legs and thin columns.
