If you spend your computer or leisure time at a desk or table, your hunched-over back might benefit from the occasional standing break. At least, that’s what several standing desk users say, myself included. Rather than spending hours on end sitting down, typing away at my laptop for HuffPost, I can periodically stand and work to ease my back, loosen my joints and combat the stiffness I feel when my posture feels too lax. Paired with a walking pad (especially one on sale like this one), my productivity goes through the roof.
We found a best-selling standing desk by Flexispot that many say has been “life-changing” for their home spaces. Some say it helped with shoulder pain and stiffness, and others say it relieved back and leg pain. This desk has an electric panel to move it up and down, a large surface for a plentiful workspace, is easy to install, and feels sturdy and tough in use. It’s also on sale right now for only $120 after clipping the on-page coupon.
The Flexispot EN1 ships in two pieces (free for Prime members, of course): one box holds its metal legs, and the other the sturdy tabletop. Installation is easy, according to several user reviews, and only requires attaching the two pieces and plugging the desk in. The control panel has an up and down arrow to raise and lower the desk, plus four preset buttons you can manually adjust for custom heights. Perfectly sized for home offices and private offices alike, the tabletop itself measures 48 by 24 inches, and you can adjust the heights between 28.9 and 46.5 inches.
Although the $120 price tag seems like the desk should feel cheap, plenty say it’s far from it, noting that it’s durable, steady when in movement and fairly heavy. “The desk is sturdy and well-constructed, easily supporting all my work essentials,” says one review. “The adjustable height feature works smoothly, allowing me to switch between sitting and standing positions effortlessly. […] This flexibility has made a noticeable difference in my comfort levels, helping to alleviate the back pain I used to experience from prolonged sitting. I highly recommend this standing desk.”
If you need a companion for your walking pad or would benefit from a standing break while slumped at your desk, consider grabbing this popular adjustable desk at a deep discount. If you need the extra push, read on for more promising reviews.

“I am in love with this desk! It is so life changing! The desk came arrived so quickly. It was separated in two packages and was super safe packed to prevent from damages. My husband helped me to assemble it and it took us about 15 minutes. I could see it is not hard to assemble with just one person if needed but goes quick with two. Love how the cable doesn’t show much, keeping the space clean, and how modern the design is, matching our home style. The desk is definitely the perfect one for my family. I love to do DIYs and I like to do it standing, so having a standing desk was so life changing for me, because of no more back pain for being curved! Also the desk is perfect for our 4 year old daughter’s online class. She have plenty of space on it for the computer, papers, crayons, story books and other stuff she needs to have there. My husband is also loving it because he is taller and can easily, in seconds, adjust the desk height to be more comfortable while doing home office. I love to buy stuff that my whole family can use, not just me. The price is amazing for a standing desk with this quality and sturdiness and I have been recommending it for family and friends.” — Gabriella S.
“Worried your getting that flat butt? Having pain in lower back? Need to get a little more exercise and blood flow throughout the day? This desk is so easy to assemble, easy to figure out and work. Helps so much getting off your butt all day. Add an under desk treadmill for extra needed exercise and blood flow. Your body will thank you.” — Amazon Customer
“This is the best purchase I’ve made in months! The desk was easy to assemble and very sturdy. I feel confident to put my monitors and papers on this desk. The lift works at a great speed so nothing really moves when it goes up or down but it doesn’t feel too slow either. As a graphic designer, I enjoyed the brochure they added to the desk. My only complaint is the directions had typos and it was sometimes succinct to the point of misunderstanding. However, this desk is simple enough that anyone who has put together furniture before can figure it out by slowing down and looking at the pictures more. I’ve had this desk for a couple days and it’s already improved my back and hip pain and quality of life working from home. I appreciate Flexispot for making and selling this quality desk and for putting extra thought for their customers by including a brochure. When this desk goes out I will be buying this one again.” — Jennifer A.
“I had been working from home several days a week since March 2020 and was having bad leg pain and neck pain. I have a stand-up desk option at work and knew I would use it. It did take quite a bit of time to set up, but I did do the setup myself until the flipping of the desk needed to happen. It is sturdy and the extra depth of the desk makes for extra writing space and decoration if wanted!” — Leefamily2015
“I’ve been using the FLEXISPOT adjustable desk for a few weeks now, and it’s been a game-changer for my home office! The electric height adjustment is smooth and quiet, making it super easy to switch between sitting and standing throughout the day. The 48×24 size is perfect—not too big, but spacious enough for my dual monitors, keyboard, and other work essentials. The rustic top looks great and adds a nice touch to the overall design, while the black frame feels sturdy and well-built. Assembly was straightforward, and the desk feels durable, holding up well even with heavy use. If you’re looking for a versatile, high-quality standing desk, I highly recommend this one!” — Patrick secreti
