I’ve been thinking about purchasing a sit stand frame for my pc setup for years and finally pulled the trigger. After lots of research, I ultimately ended up purchasing the E7 Pro frame because of its price to performance and design. I’ve had the desk for about 3 weeks so far and my experiences with it have been 99% positive. The tabletop I am using is an IKEA Karlby countertop. Also, pardon my English I am terrible at writing 😂

Pros:

•	Ergonomics: The middle support beam is pushed back so there are no issues with it hitting my leg during sitting mode. I read that this was an issue with the regular E7 which is one of the reasons I went with the pro. Also, I am on the shorter end and it lowers down to 25” so I can comfortably sit with legs planted on the floor and my arms at a right angle. 

•	Stability: the frame is very sturdy. I use a monitor arm and there is no noticeable wobble when using it in sitting mode. I use a medium-low sensitivity when playing FPS games so this is very appreciated. When standing and using it with my walking treadmill, it is obviously a little less sturdy but still feels rock solid. The frame itself is quite heavy and high quality.

•	Impact detection features: I had mistakenly left my chair under the desk after using it in stand mode and had accidentally pushed the sit button. The frame was smart enough to detect that the chair was underneath and stopped moving down. I was impressed.

•	Motor: The motor is smooth, quiet, and transitions at a reasonable speed. I switch between sit/stand every single day and it still is going strong. Can’t really complain here.

•	Lifestyle improvements: It’s been awesome being able to get steps in while working and studying! 2 birds with one stone, I’m down 4 lbs and have been feeling physically awesome lately. I get my daily 13k steps in and forget about it because I’m so locked in working and studying. Such a time saver being able to do these things at once! Back has also been feeling great since I can sit with an improved posture.

•	Cable management accessories: The cable management accessories it comes with are awesome. It comes with a magnetic cable hider that hides the motor and its cables, and a separate cable management system for cables and a power brick.

•	Installation/setup: Putting it together was straightforward. I had to mark and drill holes since my tabletop is not an official Flexispot one, but it wasn’t a terrible experience. Not much else to comment here.



Cons:

•	Control pad: It is very sensitive and will activate with a very soft touch or arm brushing against it. I would recommend installing it somewhere farm from reach to avoid accidental touches. Luckily, the excellent impact detection will minimize damage in case of accidents!

•	Control pad lock feature: I wish there was a faster way to lock the pad instead of holding M for 5 seconds. 

•	The frame is quite heavy so you might need help during installation.

In conclusion, I’ve been very happy with the Flexispot pro. I couldn’t think of many cons as you can see, mainly minor issues with the control pad. After seeing other options, I am ultimately glad that I went with this frame. It ticks all the boxes for me and is simply amazing for the price. I’ve been feeling awesome lately because of the improved ergonomics and being able to get my steps in!
