My old IKEA standing desk (Bekant) is ok but it's a bit slow, has no presets and the table top looks bad after 7 years.
Ordered the 2026 E7 Pro from Flexispot and got a nice table top for free when the office of a former employer closed.
What a difference in build quality and performance. This was also a nice opportunity to test some tools because I needed to mark and pre-drill all the holes for the frame.
First time i put the center punch to good use.

@hukl I’m curious how sturdy the desk is fully elevated.
I got so annoyed by various two-legged desks, that I bought one of the very few four-legged ones I could find deliverable in Germany in 2021 (nowadays they are easier to find). No more wobble, even when fully elevated, with monitor arm and camera on top.
@tisba I have two of the older Vernal models: https://www.vernalspace.de/products/vernal-henverstellbarer-schreibtisch?variant=55227198374273
They used to offer two different sizes - shorter/longer "feet". They are really sturdy when fully elevated, too, and can carry a lot of weight - IIRC way more than others at that time.
I decided against Flexispot after reports like this ("Flexispot Table - Screws Are Live"): https://www.computerbase.de/forum/threads/flexispot-tisch-schrauben-stehen-unter-strom.2029826/
@sesamzoo na da halte ich doch direkt mal nen Phasenprüfer dran :)
@tisba I let you know once the desk is swapped out with the IKEA one. Needless to say the IKEA one was quite wobbly. I also contemplated the 4 leg version of FlexiSpot. So far it feels pretty sturdy.
