Testing how much weight a FlexiSpot E8 standing desk can lift. Surprisingly much, it turns out, and I used it as a gantry crane too! Not a recommended use of standing desk frames.

    average sponsor: let's show how cool the buttons of this gadget are! Matthias: lifts a table saw with it this is awesome, man! :D

    I have two standing desks here, and they are extremely capable. You can use them for elevation/reveal videos also. I knew they would do well! You are the master of load-bearing validation testing. Thank you for all you continue to do, and the logical approach to all things engineered! :)

    Mount it on casters, and add your EcoFlow(?) battery unit and you have a totally untethered shop crane😅
  • @Vikingwerk
    Kind of tempting to add those raise-lower casters and use it as a portable shop lift!

    I love brands that stand by their products enough to send them to you, you torture test them and give uncut feedback about it. Thanks!

    Have had mine for 2 years and love it. Great product to get behind, its better than the spec sheet!
  • @MCsCreations
    Pretty impressive indeed, Matthias! Fantastic testing!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 And happy holidays!

    I just got not this brand but a cheap one on sale in the UK a few months ago. Its surprisingly solid, more solid than any none lifting desk I've ever had. Couldn't be happier and one really great use is raising it all the way to the top so you can casually just roll your chair under it to work on cables and what have you at the back of the desk or on the floor. I absolutely love that, no more crawling around on hands and knees!

    Looks like Bubba found his new fancy electric engine hoist!

    You can put it on casters or rail and do a portable band saw. to do some boards. The legs will give you height adjustment for each pass.
  • I am using 3 of the hand crank style in my shop as in-feed and out feed tables with rollers and I like it 😊

    Having seen other YouTubers I subscribed having uploaded videos with this company I was thinking, oh yeah another one. But of course Matthias made it in a way it was really fun to watch 😍and not just another build your own desk type of thing🤣

    I used one of those a few weeks ago at work for a desk that was only 36" wide. I remove.the adjustable bars from the rails and cut about 14" out of the center. I mig welded it back together. Worked out great

    I am using a standing desk for 4 years now (a flexispot EF1 I think ) and I like it. I do have 2 desks in my office though, so in reality the standing desk is always in the high position and for sitting down I just go to the other desk.. so a fixed high desk would have been enough.. but those aren't even much cheaper so it wouldn't be worth it.

    Just bought the white Comhar ($369.00 CAD) - thank you for the video and featuring this company. Was going to do the white glass variant, but I have a clamp-on monitor arm. It would be nice if, in the future, they left a small 8x5" area on far left corner of table that does not have glass - allowing a spot for clamp on monitor arm. I have a custom glass shop in town (Barber Glass, Guelph), so I might trace the tabletop and get them to make up something custom for an extra ~$100.
