According to Flexispot, the maximum load is an impressive 125kg. I set up with four screens and two heavy speakers on my desk, and the Flexispot E7 had no problem moving up and down with confidence. The movement is swift, almost silent and extremely ‘reassuring’. It comes with a Sanodesk control unit, which can remember four height settings (useful if you share the desk with someone else), has a child lock, and is calibrated to stop if the desk meets unexpected resistance while moving. The surface is hard and unlikely to be damaged by normal use. Flexispot provided a bamboo finish for our review, which, beyond it’s eco-credentials, is both gorgeous and modern. The work-surface screws directly into the pillars. All tools were included, but as with any self-build furniture, a quick cordless screwdriver will save time. The main legs are extremely heavy and well built there’s no chance of movement, flex or wobble that can plague cheaper desks.
We tested it in white, with a large bamboo worktop.Īssembly was easy, taking about an hour in all. The Flexispot E7 is the sweet-spot between value and beauty, and is an outstanding contender. The resulting impression is that this is a desk that is built to last and offers a wide range of optional extras including programmable memory handsets, wire management grommets and clamp mounted power strips. The Jarvis is also fully adjustable up to 127 cm, has a lifting capacity of 158 kg, and an operating noise of less than 50 dB. This means that users can feel confident that their new standing desk will add to any green credentials.īut that’s not the only thing that this desk has in its favour.
It’s coated with a scratch-resistant laminate and joined with a certified low-VOC, zero urea-formaldehyde water-based adhesives. The desk is manufactured with a high-density particleboard core which is made from recycled wood fibre. Manufacturer Fully describes the desk as ‘tough, beautiful, active, earth-conscious-a sit-stand desk built for you and the planet’ and it’s hard to disagree with that statement. And this is where the Jarvis desk stands apart from others. The UK Government's decision not to extend the £20 uplift to those on legacy benefits delivered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to support them during the coronavirus pandemic was a "radical and unprecedented departure" from decades of benefits policy, the High Court has heard.īenefit claimants on Universal Credit received a £20 a week increase to help them cope with additional costs during the Covid-19 crisis from April 2020 to October 2021.As more businesses turn to their ‘green’ credentials, it makes sense that they may extend their thoughts to office furniture.
