DeskHaus is a workhorse when it comes to weight capacity and stability. Those looking for a more serious workstation will love this. Flexispot, on the other hand, is quite popular, one of the crowd favorites for an affordable selection of standing desks. This brand has a wide variety of choices.
So let’s try to compare all their standing desk models. Let’s see how they’ll fare against each other.
Standingdesktopper's pick
Flexispot: Feel like a kid in a candy store
This brand offers a wide range of standing desks, of varying prices. Thus if you are looking for a more affordable entry-level stand desk, there are a handful of options. Hover through the brand’s site and you’ll feel all giddy like shopping for your favorite candy, you might have that particular treat in mind but you can get distracted by the tone of flavors that you’ll see.
The same goes for shopping for a Flexispot desk.
Say you are on the hunt for a basic more affordable sit-stand desk, the E2 will entice you. It is one of the entry-level units with a lower weight capacity. This is only intended for basic setup. Thus if you see yourself growing your study and work desk soon, you might find an appropriate choice with the upgraded Flexispot desks.
That’s why some opt to save a bit more and go for the more expensive units. The E2 Pro can offer a more elevated experience and more features, this is also a more stable option, but still with considerable side-to-side and front-to-back wobbles. As such, the E5 can be a more promising and sturdy choice.
Also, those who are on the lookout for a more stylish yet functional desk can fulfill their fancies with the Comhar. It can elevate your work experience, both in aesthetics and performance. You can opt to get this in a tempered glass top and make it useful for drafting thus pieces of paper for writing notes.
While the brand is known for its value-for-money desks this does come with some sort of caveats. Most of the aforementioned units have some sort of stability issues when the desk is used at its maximum height. However, if you are of average height and you don’t need to max out the weight capacity of the desk, this will make do.
On one note, there are the newer E7 sit-stand desks. You can get it in an E7 Plus or Pro.
These units are sturdier and feel more robust even when used at their maximum height.
DeskHaus has a lot of pretty hefty units up for grabs
Oh, you often can get this in frames. Though you can get a handful of selections of tops, the brand is not really popular for its tabletops. But for the frames, it’s a different discussion. The frames are very sturdy, thicker, and will almost not budge.
It also comes at a more steep price, but if it’s robustness and sturdiness we are talking about, these frames top it.
The Apex 2 legs are the more affordable option of the brand, the entry-level unit for Deskhaus so to speak. Features are basic and come with a smart paddle switch. But if compared to a handful of the more affordable Flexispot desks, this is by no means entry-level.
And if you want a more hard worker, the Apex Pro is a more fitting choice. It has a higher weight capacity and it is known for its front-to-back stability. It can also accommodate a hearty setup. So if you need more space and more muscles, this more expensive desk is yet still a value-for-money choice.
If you want to splurge for something more industrial in terms of strength, the Apex 6 legs can be a more fitting choice. It has thicker legs, but the 6 legs may come off as too thick and may feel a bit cramped for those who want more legroom. So that is one thing to consider. The thicker legs are a giveaway for its sturdiness.
What about the Apex Pro and Max? These pack in more muscles and are highly recommended if you have a heavy setup, say triple monitors, and tons of equipment to lace on the desk. But keep in mind that it can come with a crossbar that renders the desk more stable than the aforementioned units, so it can either be a biggie or nothing to you. If you need more legroom, then it might be a bit of a turnoff.
That’s the Apex units, the brand has a far more industrial in terms of sturdiness and robustness, the Vertex frames. This range of Desk Haus desks is more expensive too, but The advantage of the Apex desks is that it has better side-to-side stability, but front or back stability is better with Vettex units. Also, some of the Vertex desks come with diamond-shaped legs, so this is something to consider if you’re opting for a minimalist setup. Though the sturdier Apex desk has a crossbar, so this can be a deciding factor.
Also, the Vertex tops do come with more colors.
How to compare cheaper Flexispot vs Expensive DeskHaus?
It might be unfair to pit an affordable Flexispot desk such as the E2, E5, E5 Pro, or even the Comhar to any DeskHaus units. Even the more basic Apexdesk already has thicker legs and is more stable. Thus are aging to make a comparison between the more robust and new player among the Flexispot desks, the E7 Plus. So let’s see what happens here.
E7 Plus or even the E7Q is a more expensive Flexispot desk. The E7Q is a more upgraded choice, with more features to boast and the stability is also better. It’s a choice between 4 legs or 2 legs. If you have a heftier work setup, 4 legs might be a sturdier choice, especially if you are tall. However, if you are of average weight, the hefty desk will not really matter much if you are not going to use the desk at its maximum height. If you have a moderate workstation, it can also be an overkill or over-spending. Why pay for something you might not really need?
The same goes when choosing between an ApexPro or an E7 desk. Unless there is a need to use the desk at its max height, then the E7 is actually quite sturdy and stable in itself. You will only notice the side-to-side shaking when at the highest level.
The E7Q uses four legs, the same as the Apex Oro. But you can tell that the DeskHaus weighs more, has thicker legs, and has a more stable frame.
But then again, if you are of average height, the E7Q will suffice. However, if you need a more stable desk on carpeted floors, Deskhaus frames are the better route, from the ApexPro up to the more expensive Vertex line of sit-stand desks, they can hold themselves well even on thicker carpets.
More popular vs more hefty standing desks
When it comes to popularity, Flexispot definitely hits the spot. It is one of the household names when it comes to affordable yet functional standing desks. It also has a wider selection.
Deskhaus on the other hand, has thicker and stronger legs, even from the more basic selection. Thus it also weighs more and can stand wear and tear. These desks are also more on the expensive tiering.
To choose between an upgraded Flexispot desk vs the Apex or upgraded Apex desks or Vertdesk units, you have to really consider your budget. Unless there is a real need for something more robust, then you’d be happy with an upgraded Flexispot desk.
