Best Standing Desk: Flexispot Odin E7Q vs Uplift Commercial V2 | Which Is Worth The Money?

I got an uplift desk 83x31 and love it. It took about 20 mins to put together. It has been adjusted almost daily for years. It has never failed me. It has enclosed dual motors, tri extension legs, preset memory x 4, is silent, and a thick 1-inch single-piece white top with white legs. If I spill anything on it (food, drink, ink, etc) it wipes right off. Nothing has ever stained it or soaked into it, it has never chipped despite 3 moves, and can hold a lot of weight and a lot of things while staying stable. It cost more, about 2x what the cheap ones on Amazon cost, but I believe it is better quality & more solid than most other desks on the market. So many adjustable height desks now have a single exposed motor, and either split tops (2 pieces instead of one) and hollow core cardboard filled tops.

The reason you go down that low is for people that are wheelchair bound. When reviewing these, that is a key disablity item that should be reviewed. These desks are great for those people. You can lift the desk up and the wheelchair can be stowed under the desk when not in use for elderly or disabled.

He completely discounts the options available for Uplift.

how do these desks compare to deskhause apex pro?

Great and informative video. Very Helpful!

quick comment which may or may not help anyone... I bought an Uplift, I think it;s great. ALSO.. Uplift has sales occasionally where the real wood slab tops are on scratch and dent sale... BIG BIG savings and the real wood tops look and feel fantastic. Much better than the MDF, I highly recommend you wait for the sale...

I went to configure an Odin.
72” and 80” are the only options.
The next step down called the E7 Plus and depending on the wood choice 60x30 isn’t available.

Let's go Heat!

What for a useless video 😂

As of right now (11/10/23), these two products arnt even comparable. Even after picking your wood options, leg/stand color and style, accesories like standing mat, organizers, etc. the uplift hasn't even broke the 1k mark. Of course it could easily pass the odin in price if you add stuff like an office chair, lamp, and a bunch of other stuff. But realistically if you just spec it to be as identical to the odin as possible, its not close. Theres also no option for a 60x30 desk with the odin, just a massive 72x30 desk as the smallest option. So base $768 ($848 if you go for the 72x30) website price for the uplift with the option to add a bunch of stuff not including the free stuff vs $1,140 ($1,260 without current discount) website price for a barebones frame and desk. For non-professional use, its simply not enough of a jump in value to justify the $500 increase, especially when the average person is just going to leave it in one of the two positions for the majority of the few hours in the day they are actually using their desk. I speced out an uplift to have cable management, a nice wood finish, a desk organization, a slightly upgraded stand, and extended warranty for less than the discounted price of the odin.

The fact that the Odin's plate doesn't come with pre-drilled holes is baffling to me. For a product in this price range, that's shameful. Flexispot could really stand to improve on that front.

watching someone who doesn't have a clue rambling on like this is painful to watch

Thanks for mentioning the need to drill. I do not have a drill and have no desire to DIY, so that made the decision for me!!!

How is the space for knees and legs under the Odin desk? It has the metal frame going quite close to the front edge...

Not sure why you didn't compare Uplift's 4-legged desk against the Flexispot one.

Thank you for the review! Did you have to bring the uplift desk to fedex when you return or did fedex pick it up from your place?

Thank you for your review, my husband is trying to purchase one. His only complaint was he thought you should have purchased the Uplift with the four legs so you'd be comparing apples to apples.

Great review. Thanks for the info🐬

Fun Fact: He says "ACTUAL" 25 times and "ACTUALLY" 14 times in this actual comparison video between the actual Flexispot Odin E7Q and the actual Uplift Commercial V2 actual standing desks.

Can you tell me the clearance for installing a cable management box? I want to install a 4.1” deep box.

🫣🫣🫣 you sat on it!
Big NO NO! Lol....

Great info matey, thank you!

Is there a reason that you didn't install the commercial bar on the commercial frame in order to increase stability? It feels like you bought the more sturdy desk frame and didn't install the piece that helps minimize wobbling, which creates an unfair comparison. (Unless you got the regular frame, not the commercial frame.)

i wouldn't call the "hammock" style cable management actual cable management - stupid solution.

Great, detailed video. You‘re talking about a lot of stuff most other (sponsored) reviewers miss. I‘m actually in shock about the very small difference in price between the two. The odin should be at least double the price due to its massive base and quality.

I've been after a 4-leg standing desk in the UK. This one looks great but I wonder if it's too large for my small office. 🐬

There is good information to consider, but some issues in this video. As somebody mentioned previously that is the Uplift V2 and not the V2 Commercial. The V2 Commercial doesn't use an inverted leg design, goes a little lower, and has a stabilizing brace between the back legs. Also the direct comparison to an Uplift V2 or V2 Commercial would be a Flexispot E7 , it would be more appropriate to compare the Odin E7Q to the 4-leg version of the Uplift V2. Can't say much to price as I've been looking at frame only prices (using a square edge steel workbench top to stick magnets to my desktop), but for like to like features it would probably have made the Uplift the more expensive option.

Bipolar speakers placed against the real wall? Shame on you! Martin Logan would groan. Electrostatics/bipolar speakers need to be so far from walls.

But the video was exceptional and its so good to highlight this superior 4 post design that has been ignored til now. Hopefully you will help people realize how important this is when we're standing as we often lean on the desk to take pressure off our knees/ankles/feet when standing for longer periods and you feel the lack of rigidity in a 2 post design very easily this way, even in well made designs. Personally I feel the answer is simply pulleys and a slotted steel angle 4 post frame that wraps around the user. It could also have an adjustable angle to please designers/architects who draw a lot. So easy with pulleys.

Nice one! 🐬

I bought the Uplift desk about 2 years ago. 31x72 size. This is the best desk I have ever used. Every single screw hold was line up with absolute precision. Packaging was great. there is ZERO wobble for me, even at top height and I have a PC hanging in a PC holder that makes the Tower "float" under the desk, and 2 32" monitors with Ergo mounts. A mac mini. a Set pf speakers. Mic. etc. the desk is Loaded. Never had a single issue with it. The little coaster wheels lock and make wire management a breeze....
I have no experience with ODIN. But I will say Uplift is Super High Quality. I will recommend them to anyone and everyone that can afford them... amazing desk.

🐬Never seen a four legged standing desk! Thanks for the comparison.

🐬great informative video, my only goal right now is to pay off my mortgage, I do need a new desk but it can wait. Now I have two more options in the future to consider when the time is right! I wish everyone safety and joy.

Man, that is the least aesthetic thumbnail I have seen in a loong time

I'd love to get the one you chose. I've found having an office job now for the last year that I feel like my back hurts more often and I feel it's because I'm sitting all the time now whether I'm working or at home on my home computer. My only issue is that I use a corner desk at home so I don't think a standing desk would really be an option right now. At work we have those things on the desk that make so you can stand at the desk, but they can be a pain since there's not a lot of room on them so when I'm having to print and go through reports I can't really use them.

A desk, where? The only thing I saw were the Martin Logan speakers.

Good review, but that’s not Uplift V2 Commercial Desk. Please correct the title.

Nice review and comparison. I really appreciate the look under the desks, and the cable management. So many reviews skip over that. As someone who is a bit OCD about cables, and with some strong preferences for solutions, it’s great to know if my preferred cable management tray/box will fit.

🐬 Funny I was thinking of getting a bigger standing desk soon

Super helpful!! Good job.

Good comparison. I'm in the market for a new desk, so helpful.

Great comparison vid and one of the best investments most anyone can make. I’ve been a stand up desk user and fist pumper 100 for a decade now and cajn absolutely attest how much they help with back issues or helping to prevent them.

Thanks for sharing

This should have gone on your own personal channel
