“I just got my E7 pro last week with rubberwood and was beveled edge”

“I have not used the beveled edge or the ergo configs of flexispot. If you plan to use the desk for long periods of time, then definitely go for the comfortedge of Vari. It looks quite promising and as a prior flexispot user, I am considering getting the comfortedge one for myself. I used a desk at work that has an edge very similar to the comfortedge and I got to say, it helps with the wrist pain and esp any strain on your elbows or arms, depending on how you sit.”

“Love “Aslan,” if that is a C. S. Lewis/Narnia referent! 🙂 I use the desk daily, and it’s held up well. I would guess that the L-shaped one would be great. Uplift was on my short list but felt the Vari was more stable. I’ve not been disappointed, though I can’t really compare it to the Uplift.”

“Regular edge is way better, I’m not slipping off the desk anymore. With the desk flipped there’s a little cutout where the monitor ams are suppose to go but it’s not that noticeable.”

“On Prime day it was going for $499. I had a bunch of Rewards points from my Prime Visa Card and I ended up using them that it brought it down to about $390. So far I think it’s great. Motor is quiet and the table is sturdy with easy assembly out of the box. I def recommend.”

“I have a vari and love it. The only thing I can think of is the weight rating for each, if you are going to have a bunch of stuff in your deck. Vari cs was also great, my desktop was damaged in transit and they replaced it immediately.”

“Indeed, it is. I work from home and use it daily. I am well pleased. And the finish of the top, which was a concern to me when I bought it, has held up great, probably better than solid wood would have.”

“The Vari desk arrived a couple of days ago, and I put it together yesterday. I've been working on it all day. As widely reported, putting it together was simple and its stability is rock solid concerning anything that I do. The ContourEdge is comfortable, and the table is solidly constructed. The light wood color laminate top is ever-so-slightly textured and is pleasing to my eye. The desk is not cheap but is money well spent, in my opinion. I could not be more satisfied.”

“No complaints. I think I did too much research for what the standing desk was worth. In the end, I can't compare with another desk since I don't have another one. I am happy with Vari, the setup was really easy and took probably 20min. I missed having casters only once when I had to move the whole room around, other than that, no issues. It does look sturdy & nice”

“Vari Essential is exactly that: 48x24 on sale right now for $250 (white) or $320 (wood laminate split-top). I just bought the white one. It's my first standing desk, so I don't have anything to compare it to, but so far I'm fairly happy. My only complaint is that it doesn't go quite low enough for me, which I suspected going in. Stability at standing height (I'm 6') seems to be in line with other two-leg desks, which means there is some wobble. From what I've read, only 4-leg desks have no wobble; see Apex Pro vs Apex for an illustration. So overall, seems like a pretty good 2-leg desk for the price.”

“Oh, that's so annoying. Both of my packages arrived last Monday. I wasn't able to finish putting it all together until yesterday - assembly was super easy, I just needed help flipping it over and moving it. So today was my first day actually working on it. It's great so far, very minimal wobble as far as I can tell and no other issues. My previous WFH setup was just piling all of my work PC and home PC stuff on the same desk with no room, so it's so nice to space things out and actually focus on work (and stand up!) now. Hopefully yours comes soon and you like it. I'm still a little jealous that the darkwood was out of stock when I ordered :) And thanks for the chair recommendation. That's similar to the one I had before, just after a few years it got a little damaged and started peeling. Otherwise I liked it. I'm still not sure what I'm doing next.”

“I recently purchased a Vari Electric Standing Desk with ComfortEdge, 60x30 and I hate it. I have long legs and I'm constantly hitting the bar that goes across the middle and contains the lift. I thought I would like the ComfortEdge but I feel like my arms are just slipping off the desk the whole time and I can't properly rest them. Its been 40 days since I purchased it sadly. Any tips on how I can make it better? I thought about buying an edge protector to try and reduce the gap from the comfort edge?”

“Hi, Just got the Vari comfortedge standing desk and I don't really like the laminate surface. Feels weird. I used to have an Ikea desk that felt more like wood. The laminate on the Vari feels weird and almost sticky even though I am not sweaty. What mat do you have for your desk?”
