hey guys in this video I'm going to be putting together a new computer desk I got from flexi
spot so it's a desk that you can adjust the height of it or you can make it a standing
desk I got this desk for free from flexispot they're not paying me to do the video and
obviously it doesn't affect my opinion whether it's good or not I do need a new desk that's
the reason why I agree to do this because as you see here this is my current setup in the
house that I'm staying at right now and it's just it's not good like I got this desk there
it's just falling apart so that monitor I should probably take off these desks basically a desk
that I got for free somebody was giving away on Facebook and I needed something quickly
so so yeah now I'll be able to get rid of this hopefully and use this one giant disc
as you can see the the top there in the other box is pretty big so it should be able to fit
my my two monitors and then everything else that I have that I want to put on the desk so
thank you
next step is you actually want to measure your desktop because you can adjust this to
be actually different width right or different size so it actually says you can adjust it here
from 43 inches to 75 inches and width of this now you can still have the desktop longer than
that and the max with the weight capacity is 355 pounds or 161 kilograms let's see because now this
could be Heavy oh okay it is heavy but it moves pretty easily and this is the cable management
so now I just gotta connect all the electronics so I got the two Motors here
and it seems pretty simple because everything is basically like he's different cables have
different plugs so you can't really plug it into the wrong thing the control surface
touch screen orange got a USB here oh and also the power plugin
so this is kind of cool because the cable management basically is like you see once
you put in these bulbs it stays there but it also it's easily adjustable so
you can open it and get to the cables pull new cables through stuff like that whoop
so let's maybe plug the sucker in and let's see if it works
wow look at it go
and now you press it down
so it's you know kind of sounds like um I don't know like an electric toothbrush it's not again
you hear the little motor but it's not that low it's a good thing that it goes this High because
that means you can actually work standing up which is good like sometimes I I for me when
I'm editing oh man like if I'm sitting five six hours in a row my back starts hurting and all
that stuff for us here they'll be able to just lift everything up with the monitors everything
and then you know when I'm ready I just press the button and have everything go down
nice
so it's a shame but the the wood I mean it's beautiful but it got damaged in three spots
one two three and it's the shipping carrier I mean that's I didn't see it but now I see
in the Box there's like these tiny indentations and it just happened to think I mean it's not the
end of the world it will still work but it's just you can see a little bit there so it's a
beautiful top like they have different colors obviously like the the the whole structure the
metal part but also the the desktop you can get different sizes there's different wood finishes
or different materials I went with this one I like that look but I'm a little disappointed
that in the shipping just got damaged and I can't really flip it because even though the
other side it doesn't have those marks the thing is that the other side is pre-drilled already
foreign
got it all done here so let's see how it works so as you can see I finished setting up my new desk
the the two monitors I have fit perfectly on it still have plenty of space for my other gadgets
control surfaces or things like that um and you know overall I liked the look of the desk the
little scratches that happened during delivery are actually really out of all of them there's only
one actually it's under the engine charger so it's only one still visible here but if I put something
you're not gonna see it so so I guess it's okay but uh you know it's not really I guess the fault
of the manufacturer it's the shipping company so I wasn't home they just dropped it off in front of
my house I wasn't able to like inspect the package but definitely if you're home and you see them
delivering this inspect the box if you see that there's some damage to the backs then just have
them basically I guess cover it with insurance and and take it back and so that the manufacturer
also is covered and you're covered but otherwise yeah I mean if I like the desk like I said I love
the look of it and the Simplicity of the of the controls so as you can see I can adjust it up and
down however I want it you can actually set four presets so you have four sort of like memories
that you can you can preset so for example let's say I uh I like this this height right now I can
just press the M button for memory and press one and that's going to be my preset one if I go back
let's say a little bit and then I want to save the this position as my preset two just press M and
then two and that's it it's saved and now I can easily just go between one and the other uh and
then you also have two other presets here which is just has a little icon for standing and sitting so
I actually did adjust it for me for sitting and so it's gonna go there that position on its own
and it's kind of nice that it remembers it for you and it's perfect for me now like I said I
adjusted the height I could go actually a little bit lower still but for me like I said this is
good and then when I get let's say a little bit you know tired of sitting for too long
and I want to stand up I'm gonna stretch out and I can just press my other preset
and now it's gonna go up to my standing position and uh to be honest this is it's a cool function
to have I've never had a desk that automatically adjusted itself I did have one small desk that
I've used um that I had the sort of like a little crank and it allowed you to go up and down uh but
well two things I didn't like with it first of the range of it like how much you could go up
or how much that one you could go wasn't very big this can actually go even higher I'm not you know
I don't it didn't go to the maximum height or or the lowest setting because it's it's not good for
me but if you're taller so something like that then you can go higher um and then another thing
like I said about my old desk that I had with where I had the little crank is that it just
took too long for it to crank it up and down and also while you were doing it it would be kind of
shaking the whole desk a little bit whereas this because it's got the dual motors it just goes
nice and smooth on both sides uh you know does it fairly fast quietly and and it's easy you don't
have to do anything I mean you just press that button wait for it to go it's got also a lock
so that the M button also acts as a lock so for example if I press and hold it for five seconds
see it says loc for luck and now it doesn't matter which buttons you press you can't do anything so
for example if you leave the desk and maybe you don't want your kids or somebody else playing with
your desk and that's sort of how you like it to unlock it you press and hold the end button again
and now it's unlocked another thing actually it has which is kind of cool is that it will like
even when it detects some kind of resistance it will stop and then go back let's say to you know
to a little bit so that it doesn't like like for example let's say I've always relieve my chair
but let's say I forgot that the chair is here and I'm just gonna press the
let's say my sitting position here so do that and put the here in the middle
one oh you see it bumped into the chair and then it just went back a little bit and it stopped so
I can still pull out my chair and this way if like I said it's just a nice safety feature
to have like let's say somebody moved piece of furniture or you like I said you left something
a box or something underneath and you forgot then these presets is not like it's gonna Force for
force it and break whatever's in the way so it's nice to have the USB is for charging I'm already
using it as you can see I'm charging my my camera batteries actually so that's that's good to have
and otherwise like I said it's a pretty simple to use mechanism and it is very convenient like
I gotta admit to be able to have a desk that again you can have a lot of space you can customize that
obviously you can get your own top or get some of the other tops you have they have different
sizes it supports like I said a lot of weight and the fact that you can so easily now adjust
the height of it it just means that it's it's that much easier to to use it and then means that also
that I'm probably going to be actually adjusting this versus my other old desk that I had to hand
crank I just never really bothered adjusting and once I put it in my sitting position that
was it I do have to say that I really do like this bamboo finish on the top obviously they
have other options like I said you can choose from the way that the legs are designed they're
going to have these three sections kind of go into each other it's perfectly sealed here so
it doesn't feel like there's anything I could get in there and it's again it's very smooth
there's also large rubber pads on the bottom which are going to keep the desk from sliding
around and also it won't damage your your floors uh anyways if you guys want to find
out for yourself some of the options that you can get different sizes colors and most
importantly the prices uh then definitely check out the link in the description of this video
also they have some discounts for Black Friday and all that stuff I'm going to provide all
the codes and all that information again in the description or you can head over to my website
at tomantosfilms.com and that's it for this video and I'll see you guys in the next one bye
