Apparently sitting is the new smoking so we were intrigued when FlexiSpot offered to send us their EW8M Comhar Standing Desk to try out in the Automated Home.
The Desk
The desk arrived in two fairly flat boxes and there’s a simple 3-step build process to attach the powder-coated steel legs to the top and then connect the power supply. There are some adjustment options in the feet to help even out uneven surfaces.
Comhar is a modern looking table with a wooden top with rounded edges, 120 cm wide and 60 cm deep and with a load capacity of 50 kg it can hold (and lift) even the largest PCs and screens.
It has a range of motion that allows a table height of about 72 cm to 120 cm. You can save up to four different custom heights that, in addition to giving you the ability to sit and stand, can provide a comfortable work platform for different family members.
A quick flick of the up or down arrow will adjust the table height 1mm at a time. The elevator motor comes with an AC adapter and the motor is relatively quiet.
USB charging
On the front edge of the table, to the right of the height controls, there are 3 convenient USB charging ports placed under the table surface (2 x USB-A, 1 x USB-C) that give you a neat way to keep your phone or other mobile device.
Drawer
A useful built-in drawer to the left of the charging ports measures approximately 67cm wide x 32cm deep x 4cm high internally.
Collapse
We found that we split our time about 50:50 between standing and sitting at a desk. That flexibility, along with its compact dimensions, means it’s an idea in a bedroom or other small room. This is especially useful as more and more of us want to convert those areas into work-from-home spaces.
The Comhar EW8 is a well made quality table and is now available on flexispot.
