I was getting tired of the temporary setup I'd thrown together when I first moved in. It's time for a setup upgrade! In fact...let's make this a series! Welcome to Battlestation on a Budget.
This all started when Flexispot reached out and offered to provide both an IKEA Bekant and their own E7 Pro Plus standing desk so I could compare the two. I realized early on why they were so confident in their product. Watch and find out what I mean!
=====
NOTE: At time of filming, the price for the Flexispot desk was $399 as configured, however while I was editing the price was $410. Now it's back to $399, so please ignore my on screen text correction :)
To clarify, this is not sponsored content. Flexispot did not directly pay me to promote their product, they only provided both products for the purpose of comparison and review. My observations and opinions are my own.

I just received the Flexispot E7L. The 2 tops are 48x30 and 60x24. It'll be 72x60. Now I'm watching assembly vids - haha.! (maple tops, white frame)
As someone who also has back problems but loves to cook, my dream is to someday have a place where I can use one of these sit/stand desks as a kitchen island. That way I can alternate between sitting and standing to do prep work..plus, my current counters are too low for me and I have to bend just slightly when prepping meals...having them just a little higher would help a lot so I really think if I can ever get into a place with room for it, something like this might make a great island in the kitchen (cable management might be a pain but it's a dream, not a work in progress so not urgent lol)
Honestly, I'd love to see some of these companies make something specific for that use case. I'm sure even able-bodied people would use them, but they could be a huge benefit to those of us who are disabled. They would likely work just as they are, but maybe offering a purpose designed top, along with some attachments that are more kitchen oriented could be a future option (I'm just rambling at this point)
I've definitely checked out the flexispot a few times. I can't afford one right now, but they do seem to have the best quality and value. Hopefully I'll be able to move dad and I into a place of our own with a mortgage, instead of renting, next year, and then I can more realistically start weighing my options, both for my kitchen island idea and for my setup for my PC.
Oh, and I really like this series concept from you! Very informative and entertaining. I'm looking forward to seeing more. Thank you!
Hey Braethorn, I was wondering, would you be interested in reviewing the Skytech Eclipse?
Great to see man keep the content coming I wish you good luck I have a shw desk besides the top being cheap the stand itself is very nice for 240 dollars and the top is okay just cheap I am going to be swapping out the top for a solid wood butcher block from Home Depot
I don’t see the e7 pro for 399, that is the price for the non pro version.
Their naming is wildly confusing, but I believe the desk in this video is what they call the “Pro Plus Standing Desk E7,” which is different from the new “E7 Pro” desk. It kind of made sense until they released the newer E7 Pro, but now the old name is just nonsense.
I spent longer looking for a proper desk setup than I did an actual PC configuration. Not even the Ikea desks fit by build. I needed a desk that could support the weight of a heavy gaming tower, two monitors (one being a 48" LG/UG 4K) peripherals, other stuff, my Switch, etc.
Check the max weight limits on these things. Especially if you're looking to bring your PC up off the ground and onto the desk. I'd put mine on the floor but it's a $5k setup and I have carpet and pets that don't mix with hardware. It was for this reason that I returned the Bekant.
We're on IKEA SALJAN and ALEX drawers, but I think it's time for an upgrade 🤔 LGN!
Thank you I used your promo code got a free shipping!!
Let’s go
13:10 I would hope they dont change cuz if you want a bigger workplace later on then you can just swap the tabletop in the future. And it's going to save you money.
Pls tell me you gonna make part 2 of this video.
I assume it did not happen
