Flexispot E7L: Unboxing & first impressions

Unboxing the Flexispot E7L is nearly identical to unboxing the Flexispot E7 and E7 Pro, with just an extra box for the extra desktop. There are three boxes in total, one with the frame and legs and then one box for each desktop piece. The assembly was super straightforward, and it only took my team and me about 40 minutes. As I do with all desks, I used my Hoto Tools Electric screwdriver to assemble the desk, though you can use a drill or manual screwdriver if that's what you already have.

I immediately recognized the premium quality I was familiar with from Flexispot. Their frame and legs are incredibly sturdy, and since there is a 90-degree desk, this desk is even more stable than my E7 Pro; it is just about as stable as my E7 Plus.

Flexispot E7L: Design and Build Quality

The Flexispot E7L L-shaped desk is designed with space and durability in mind. It has excellent build materials, high-quality desktops, and solid lifting capacity, especially for this size desk. The frame is constructed from carbon steel, ensuring long-term durability and fantastic stability thanks partially to the frame materials and partially to the frame shape. Because of the height adjustability, this desk is perfect for nearly any size person, and the size makes it great for holding any volume of gear.

Flexispot E7L: In use

Once we got this desk set up, the Flexispot E7L impressed us with the smooth height adjustment, especially with the three-motor system. Everything was synced up nicely, with no studders or uneven lifting. The dual-desktop system offers more space than we expected when preparing for the desk, which was a welcomed surprise. The ample space allows for multiple monitors or plenty of flexible workspace.

As always, with the Flexispot desks, four height presets can be assigned for ease of use, and a USB-A port can be built into the controller. It's a little thing, but having a button, you can press and know that the desk will go to the perfect custom height every time is marvelous. I have some desks that need the presets, and while it's also super easy to press and hold a button, there's something about pressing a button and forgetting about it that takes the whole experience to the next level.

Lastly, as all of these Flexispot controllers have, a child lock button will help prevent accidental height changes, especially if you have the desktop covered in a project that can't be disturbed.

I got this desk placed in a real-world example with some of my team. As you can see in the pictures, this desk works perfectly in a home office setting and even in a classroom setting, speaking to its shocking versatility regardless of its massive footprint. This desk has performed wonderfully over the last several weeks, making it an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a gigantic L-shaped desktop.

Flexispot E7L: Final verdict

The FlexiSpot E7L Pro L-Shaped Standing Desk is a top choice for those who need a spacious, versatile, and customizable desk. While the setup requires effort and tools, the result is a highly functional and ergonomic workspace. Its sturdy build, high load capacity, and flexible desktop options make it well worth the investment for both home offices, traditional offices, gaming setups, and even classroom or co-working setups. If you’re after a premium standing desk that grants you plenty of room for activities that won't break down, you should check out the Flexispot E7L.
