Flexispot Brand Day — Up to 65% off, and a quick look at use cases

We’ve been working with FlexiSpot for a few years now, watching as their desks, chairs, and other various furniture options have evolved over time. Their newest tables are remarkably stable, can hold an incredible amount of weight, and move so smoothly that you move it full speed without so much as a ripple on a drink on the surface. Today they are celebrating their “Brand Day Sale” with discounts of up to 65% off, so I thought I’d give a brief look at how I personally use their fantastic standing desks in a variety of ways.

The E7 (Brand Day Link) (our review) has been an absolute rockstar, and is being used for one of the most vibration sensitive functions I have – 3D Resin printing. Any vibration in the desk can cause layer shifts that can ruin a print instantly. The way resin printing works is that a bottom layer is exposed to light, and then the plate pulls upwards, freeing it from a flexible piece of material. There is an audible pop sound as it does so due to the suction force. The plate then lowers into the resin once again for the next layer. It does this several thousand times to complete even a small statue. If a layer shift occurs, it will likely ruin not only the current layer, but also either prevent subsequent layers from printing, or they’ll be offset, ruining the entire figure. I’m very pleased to say that the ultra-stable two leg design compensates for any movement nicely, preventing any vibration from transferring to my resin vat.

The most recent entry into FlexiSpot’s line, the E7 Pro (Brand Day Link) (our review), handles all of my wash and cure stations. The wash and cure stations for 3D printing wash anything I print by generating a lot of spin force, scrubbing the models with centrifugal force. It does so using 99% isopropyl alcohol as a washing fluid. Larger models require larger vats, and in some cases, these vats can tip the scales at a whopping 8500 ml. Dropping this from any height would be disastrous, and the E7 Pro allows me to move the table up and down to ensure I’m lifting these chemicals the smallest amount possible. Just like the E7, the stability of this desk is paramount to ensure things don’t move for this printing and cleaning process.

I also use an older model desk for filming. The E5 (Brand Day Link) (our review) has been in use, through hundreds of cycles, for about five years at this point. It allows me to position my items for unboxing for precisely where they need to be. For large chairs, I’ve been able to position them low so I’m not lifting a heavy chair very high. I’ve also been able to assemble it on the ample bamboo surface, moving it up and down to hit all of the bolts and connection points without needing a second person, thanks to the powerful motors on the table. I also frequently use the USB port on the side of the controls to keep various filming devices powered without the need to run additional cables. It’s served me remarkably well, and by all accounts, will continue to do so for years to come.

The final desk I use is probably the most important. While I wish I could say that I work on GamingTrend.com full time, I do have a day job. To ensure I’m focused, I like to keep my work and personal computing devices separate, but I certainly didn’t want to set up two separate desks for that purpose. Instead, I’m using the longest possible desk I can fit in my office – a whopping 78” x 30” E7 Pro (Brand Day Link) (our review). On it I have four monitors, two for each computer, and a wealth of accessories. My work laptop lives on the right, and my main PC lives underneath. This sit/stand desk allows me to do exactly that – sit and stand at will, working throughout the day while allowing me to alleviate the pain and pressure of the damage to my hip from the military. I’m not hitting the 355 lbs lift weight, but there’s quite a bit on the desk. Remarkably, this is also the same desk I’ve tested flight simulator HOTAS setups, as well as full force-feedback wheels, and neither caused any disruption, nor did I ever feel like I was going to tip the desk forward. This is my daily driver, and frankly I couldn’t imagine my life without it.

It’s not just tables we’ve used from Flexispot – we’ve also had occasion to use their very comfortable chairs. David recently reviewed the C7 (Brand Day Link) (our review) and fell in love with the comfort and durability. Flexispot makes comfortable chairs with beautiful aesthetics, not just “gaming chairs”. As such, David declared the C7 “easily the most comfortable chair I’ve used at my desk, and quite possibly one of the best I’ve ever sat in overall” – high praise indeed, and no surprise given the quality and engineering that has gone into their desk solutions.

Needless to say, we are excited every time an opportunity to see what’s next for Flexispot presents itself, but it’s also just as important to point out that every single desk we’ve tested has been stronger, more reliable, and even smoother than the last, while still being somehow still inexpensive. As they celebrate their Brand Day, you might check them out for yourself. If you do end up picking up a desk or chair from them, tell em we sent you at any of the links above and you’ll be helping to support the site. We don’t endorse a lot of products here at GamingTrend, but when we do you know it’s top quality and something we’d use for ourselves.
