Flexispot E2Q gaming desk review
The Flexispot E2Q is a lovely desk, which is why I'm quite sad I can't keep it entirely for myself. It's sturdy, easily adaptable, and I'm quite partial to its broad bamboo top. Unfortunately, I'm in the process of swapping offices with my partner, and I didn't properly account for the massive size that the E2Q lets you pick, which means that the desk—and its broad bamboo top—will have to remain in my old office when I move.
I was impressed by the Flexispot E2Q from the start thanks to a far easier-than-expected build process. Billed as a job for two people, in the end it took me less than two hours to do the entire thing myself, and that was a timeframe that included snacking and a search for a tool that I ended up not even needing (a drill, if you're wondering, though you will want a pretty hefty electric screwdriver).
Only one hole felt very slightly misaligned, but otherwise the whole thing came together extremely smoothly, and I was willing to ignore a single error in a 90-minute build. The instruction booklet was comprehensive, though I did refer to some video instructions to get a slightly better sense of how a couple of components should be added, and the only time I felt I might have benefited from a second pair of hands was in flipping the final product over once I'd finished assembling it.
That's because the E2Q is pretty hefty. I'd opted for a 180 x 80 cm desktop, which despite its impressive size isn't even the largest top available—that privilege goes to a monstrous 200 x 90 desktop that's only available for a limited array of options. Thankfully, my choice of bamboo over real wood meant the finished product wasn't as heavy as it could have been, and also means that I'm not really missing out on aesthetic. Even up close, the surface looks like true wood, which means that the E2Q fits in nicely with both office furniture and more traditional home furnishings.
