The tables are between 25.5 and 51.1 inches in height, and the dual motors slide effortlessly, and they are not too loud. You need to be careful when lowering it – there is collision detection and successfully prevented the table from crushing the stool after I put it under it, but it seems to depend on where the object under the table is. I rolled the seat onto the seat, making the arm of the chair directly under the desktop, and the table kept moving forward as I pressed the lower height preset, and if I didn’t force it to stop, it could break my chair arm (or overturn forward). Maybe if I don’t stop it, the sensor will automatically pause the operation, but it’s too close to my preferences.
I didn’t notice the table swaying up and down, although if you put pressure on the front of the table (maybe you lean your elbow forward, and your elbow is on the ground), that moves slightly forward. This did not cause any problems.
Staples offers a 7-year warranty for the motor and legs and several other parts, but the control box, cable, control panel and desktop cover only five years. This is roughly the same as what you find on flexispot, although the table doesn’t cost more. The advantage of buying from staples is that the rewards are always free and you can place them in a nearby retail store (although you still have to disassemble them).

The middle button on the control panel turns on the micro-move mode, and at first, I didn’t think it worked, but that’s because I didn’t realize the microscope of movement. Once opened, the table will rise by 2.36 inches in five minutes, stop for two minutes, and then move downward in increments of another five minutes. This will be repeated after 48 minutes and cycle four times in four hours.
Staples said this will help relieve fatigue and encourage exercise – a wonderful shift in posture and muscle interaction – but I started to notice that it was because my arms felt tight, and that was the only reason. I set the table perfectly on my height and seat-my elbow sits with the tabletop without touching the surface. But after a few minutes, this feature turned on and my elbows suddenly rested on the edge of the table, which was not pleasant. It works much better when standing, although you will still feel your arms lying on the table as the table spreads upwards.
I didn’t find the micromove function useful. I don’t feel that encourages exercise, and I’m still tired, everything. The best part of a standing table is that it enables you to stand up and hopefully induce some actual movement throughout the workday. The micro-motion feels similar to active seat hype and never feels particularly effective.
Thankfully, this is an optional feature that you can ignore. And if you want to budget, you probably should use other dual 55-inch tables with other features, but they aren’t cheap. You can shrink to a 48-inch standing desk, but there is only one electric motor.
The union with scale is a reliable table that can be assembled easily, with a simple configuration and a dual-motion system that can run smoothly. That said, FlexiSpot’s tables have more desktop customization options, sizes, colors and accessories that you can add, and they are around the same price, or even less. But if this is worth it, I’ve had more trouble in the assembly process of Flexispot in the past.
