If you’re thinking about buying a standing desk, you’ve probably heard of the Flexispot brand.
And with good reason- they’re one of the big players in the standing desk market.
So should you consider buying their products?
We definitely think so.
Here is our in depth review of all the flexispot products on the market.
Standing Desk Converters
FlexiSpot M2B Standing Desk – 35″
No products found.
The FlexiSpot M2B Standing Desk – 35″ offers a spacious work area that will accommodate 2 monitors on the upper surface.
The lower keyboard surface is detachable if you wish to use a laptop and tablet set-up. There’s plenty of room for a standard keyboard and enough wiggle room for your mouse.
This workstation saves space, as it only lifts and lowers vertically. Most other standing desks have to be pulled away from the desk.
The desk can be pulled up and lowered with a single handle, and will accommodate people from 5’1’’ to 6’1’’. You’ll be able to choose between 12 height levels when you switch between sitting and standing.
WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
This model of Flexispot standing desks is a loved product for sure. They love how much space they get, how easy it can be adjusted for height.
Some people recommend getting a fatigue mat, if you’ll be standing long hours; Flexispot does offer this kind of a product and we discuss it a bit further in the article.
One issue some people had was missing parts while trying to assemble it. Also this model had a problem with the removable keyboard tray, but the manufacturers heard the complaints and fixed it.
Also some people might consider the keyboard tray a bit slippery. People solve this issue by placing rubber feet on their keyboard
WHAT WE LIKE
- Nice looking design
- Space saving
- Easily adjustable
WHAT WE DON’T LIKE
- Slippery keyboard surface
FlexiSpot Stand Up Desk – 27″
No products found.
FlexiSpot Stand Up Desk – 27″ is a smaller version of our previous model which was 35’’ wide. This will come in handy to people looking to save space even further.
This model, just like all in the Flexispot series rises within its own footprint.
You can expect 12 levels of height adjustment, and the levers make the procedure of lifting and lowering incredibly easy. Another option to consider is getting an ergonomic mount to include 2 monitors on this workstation.
WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
People appreciate how easy it is to raise and lower this standing desk. The design looks nice, and saves space for sure.
The only thing to worry about is not to place too many heavy objects on it because it will be tougher to adjust it.
Also if you have a large keyboard it might not be a good fit for this desk keyboard surface.
WHAT WE LIKE
- Easily adjustable
- Space saver
- Nice looking design
WHAT WE DON’T LIKE
- Doesn’t support large keyboards
FlexiSpot M3B Standing Desk – 47″
No products found.
If you have needs for a larger workstation, then FlexiSpot M3B Standing Desk – 47″ might be a good choice for you.
Definitely larger than the standard desks, it offers room for 2 monitors and some extra space on the upper platform.
The keyboard area is spacious, and can be detached with the Flexispot quick release system. The price of this unit is not too far from the previous models, so it’s more a question of how much space you can afford.
The 47’’ wide desk comes with the usual single handle that is used for raising and lowering, and you also get the standard 12 levels of height adjustment.
WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
This product has 4.7 out of 5 stars on Amazon, and that is a great score. The customers love the extra space they get.
Again, make sure you don’t go overboard with the weight; it will be hard to raise it with 3 heavy monitors on the top platform.
Have in mind that with Flexispot you’ll have to work with as much weight as you place on top of the desk. The desk is stable and doesn’t wobble even with hard typing.
Customers would love to some cable management system with the largest model on our list so far.
WHAT WE LIKE
- Spacious design
- Keyboard quick release system
WHAT WE DON’T LIKE
- Lack of cable management

The assembly is quite simple, all you have to do is attach the upper part to the lower part and you’re done. This process should take you a minute.

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
When it comes to the Flexispot bike desk the opinions are divided. Some of the customers get it and have a great experience. They use it regularly and feel better while spending calories, and being productive.
Others have had bad luck with the size of the seat. It just doesn’t work for everyone, especially if you have a wide pelvis.
Another disappointment was setting great expectations on losing a lot of weight with the help of pedaling for longer hours.
While this workstation is good for light cardio and does increase focus, it will not slim you down fast.
WHAT WE LIKE

Flexispot Vs Varidesk
Cost
Varidesk requires a deeper pocket for sure. For similar models the difference in price is 100$ and more.
With the Flexispot you definitely spend less, and some people love the deal they get. Others still swear by Varidesk.
In our opinion, Flexispot is definitely the next best thing, if you’re on a budget and looking for a more affordable option.
Assembly
This is the area where the Varidesk excels, as most of its products come fully assembled out of the box. The Flexispot arrangement requires some drilling, lining up and screwing in.
Design
Easier adjustability – Most customers prefer the design of the Flexispot because the pneumatic assist it provides makes it easier for lifting and lowering.
The Varidesk works with spring action and some customers have a hard time with lifting or lowering the Varidesk.
Space saving design – People that work in cubicles or have a need to save space in their home will prefer the Flexispot design. Its work surface raises vertically and doesn’t hang over the desk; this helps with stability as well.
Larger work surface – The Varidesk has a lot of borders and cut out areas on their surfaces, whereas the Flexispot provides a clean smooth surface, giving you more space to work with.
In our experience people that can afford the price-range definitely go for the Varidesk, but we say it’s worth it to give Flexispot a chance. Not just for its good price-range but also for its good reputation among customers.
We hope our Flexispot Standing Desk Review 2019 was informative enough, and it answered some burning questions regarding different brands. Till next time.
