Holy crap! Is this the first flexispot "review" WITHOUT affiliate links in the description?!
Interesting that the review without affiliate links and from the YouTuber didn't get the desk for free actually shows the stability/wobble instead of not showing it at all or doing a really poor fake "wobble test"!

Well done and thank you very much. Your honesty and transparency will see you overtaking and outlasting many of the channels out there. Channels that are genuine have staying power. Keep it up!

I have 2 large monitors and I had the same problem with stability (with flexispot E7). But most of reviews on YT don't even mention it ! I'm glad to finally find someone who say it out loud. I'm saving for the apex pro from deskhaus

[Fernando-liuv]

The black wood color is stunning. You can also add a piece of wood behind/under your desk to hold the monitor mount.

I'm really sorry to hear about the shaking problem.

I have the exact same desk with a 34 inch ultra-wide monitor, and I have ZERO problems with shaking. It definitely has something to with either your particular desk unit, or your monitor.

[BrianHallmond]

wow! you saved me. I have a big monitor with a mount to desk stand. I dont even think I have the original stand anymore. I almost got one of these during the prime day sales.... I was keen because of the draw and usb ports. I will keep looking. Thanks!

I have the Flexispot Odin and can attest that it's very stable, and I truly love it. There is however no drawer and installing one might be tricky, given the metal bars running longways. Just something to consider. Thank you for sharing this review.

[marcsmellow]

Wow I'm glad I found this review. I have the same samsung 32" with a monitor arm and clearly it won't work on this one. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts.

I love your honesty ❤and your desk looks really nice ❤

I watched another standing desk video and he was having the same problem and said that when he got a desk with 2 legs on each-side that it was a lot more stable. I can see how having support on every corner would help as oppose to only having support in the middle of each side. It definetly was an expensive desk though about $700. Most the standing desks I've seen only have 2 legs.

[NicholasGarofola]

I have the same desk, just bamboo ☝🏻 also, how do you like that monitor? I’d like to mirror my laptop like you’re doing.

[catesguerra]

i've heard that "resetting" the legs by sending the desk all the way down until it bounces will help ensure the legs are truly level, maybe that could help with the wobbling?

[jianzlive]

Have you tried to use a block of wood to add more thickness for the monitor arm?

[rahmi.digital]

Leaving a like and thumbs up for your efforts 👍🏽

Thank you for your honest review. Is the instability more side-to-side or front-to-back or both? If it's side to side you may try screwing a rectangular panel behind and between the outer leg sections or fashion some tension cables to crisscross back there. Not ideal, but perhaps an interim fix until you can upgrade the frame.
I just ordered their E5 with bamboo in the 55 x 28 size and sure hope it'll be much more stable than what you've experienced.

[MANIAKRA]

Hey great video thanks. I am looking at this exact one to make an L shape with my Jarvis. Do you think it would be shaky for drawing when it is not in standing mode?

[johnwuk]

Good review thanks, did you upgrade the desk? Considering one myself for two 27" monitors but concerned with that wobble. This desk can support alot of weight i wonder if some extra weight to the underneath near the front would balance it out.

[enzozero]

Do you know what's the measurement of the frame with the board? Cause I think I do have a 2.5 inch max on my monitor arm and I dunno if it's gonna fit

[egabrieln]

thank you for this! It was so helpful!

[MikaelaGenshin]

Is the instability still a problem if the desk is not used as a standing one?

[OmarAhmad-jd]

Hi, did you decide on a new desk? I am looking to purchase a standing desk and also a 40 inch monitor, so very keen to know if you found a desk that solved the shaking problem. Thanks
