Hello tech lovers, Mark here. Today we're going to take a look at this.
The Furna E2 sit/stand desk.
if you watched my video last week you'll see me refer to my
sit/stand desk, I thought it's about time I reviewed it, I've had a few months now.
Before we get on to the desk itself a quick word on the company I purchased it from.
Late last year I wanted to get a new desk I was redoing this room ready for
filming and editing and I've been looking around at sit/stand desks from a
range of places. I care across the Furna E2, it looked like a really good price and
it had very good reviews so I placed the order. I have the walnut version, other
colors are available, and the big issue I had was that although they promised delivery
the next day it wasn't in stock, not a problem they advised me about that,
and then nothing, I didn't hear anything, didn't get the desk, and I got a
little bit worried because I hadn't heard of this company before, got in contact with them
said yes no problem it's on its way finally a couple of weeks after placing the order
it arrived and unfortunately it was broken, it was damaged, the desk
itself had really bad damage to it. Contacted the company and they arranged
a swap out for a week later. The swap out arrives and they've sent a smaller
desk than the one I'd ordered, so that was unfortunate. We arrange another swap
out and the one they deliver is also damaged. So this wasn't a particularly
promising start and I was about to give up when they got in touch and said "look
it's a new delivery company we're using, we're gonna send it to you with our
staff and we'll get them to deliver it for you" and they did, the desk was fine,
at last, but it did take quite a long time and I would say if you are going to order
from them their sale service is great but they're after sales service is very slow, lot of
mistakes, I ended up getting a 50 pound credit, it is what it is. So onto the desk!
You're gonna have to assemble this yourself, it comes with a box of bits comprising
screws and various components to stick the wires to the actual desk itself.
There's a couple of motorized legs and the power unit, all that has to be put
together and you end up getting the desk. It's quite heavy you are going to need a
couple of people to put this together. On the front is a really nice control unit
In a multi-user environment you can program up to four different positions
into its little memory, and yes I have still got the little plastic sticker on
because I just leave things on like that for ages, and that allows you to very
quickly flip between sitting, standing, and then if you've got someone else who
is maybe a little bit more vertically challenged than you are and that allows
you to have a lower setting that's very easy to access. The included cable ties
are useful to keep things all bound together but unfortunately the sticky
pads are not overly effective and I found myself having to repeatedly stick
these back on to the bottom of the desk. If you're on a hardwood floor, like I am, and
you'll be standing up a lot I absolutely recommend getting a sit/stand mat, I'll put a link
to the one I have in the description below. I got on Amazon and it is really
comfy it does a good job of cushioning my feet and allowing me to stand up for
long periods of time. When sat down it can go as low as 64 centimeters and once
its up it can go to 129 centimeters which gives you a good bit of travel there
depending on your height, I'm six foot and I find it very comfortable. It can
take up to 100 kilograms on top and I've loaded this up with a couple of monitors
and my desktop PC, and various peripherals. One thing to note though if you are
streaming in you've got a webcam attached to your monitor it will pick up
the vibrations. The desk doesn't move around that much but it moves around
enough if you've got a webcam on is quite noticeable so you probably want to
keep that separate. Slightly unfortunate start where I had various broken desks
delivered and incorrect sizes delivered, I am actually really pleased with the
Furna E2. It's exactly what I was looking for, a lot of these desk when I
was researching it of £700 - £800 pounds so this was in the
right price bracket for me, it's got the right set of features on and I think it
looks really great too. If you want to learn more I will put links in the
