We get it: desks get beat up over time but sometimes you don’t want to buy a whole new desk just to spruce up your work and gaming space. A new desktop may be just the solution you need and that’s exactly what we did with the Flexispot Odin E7Q and a brand new desktop . It’s a killer upgrade if you’re a tiny bit handy and won’t cost as much as a whole new desk.

We’ve all been there. You’re at your computer desk, playing games or getting work done and something scraaaaapes against its surface leaving a scratch you will never unsee.

All of these things can leave a desktop looking worse than you’d like.

Your desk can be one of the focal points of your day, whether it’s where you make your money and connect with colleagues or whether it’s where you go to relax. And in the age where making a stunningly showy gaming PC is easier than ever, it’s understandable that you would want your computer space to at least look nice and well put together. So when something like the above happens, it’s tragic.

That is, until it hit me: it’s only the desk top that’s getting worn. The legs and frame are fine. And in the world of standing desks, the desktop simply bolts on top of the frame at set points. Why not just swap out that part and
