My FLEXISPOT EN2 desk with wheels: the useful part and the height tradeoff

What I like about the desk

Overall, I’m very happy with my FLEXISPOT EN2. I like the color and how sturdy it feels. My previous desks were made of plastic or paperboard, so this feels like a welcome upgrade. It still moves slightly if I deliberately try to rock it.

The single motor and adjustment speed are fine for me. I don’t change heights very often, but I like having the option to stand or raise the desk while I’m moving around. In my use, the motor stops when it detects an obstacle. I appreciate that feature, and I still keep its travel path clear.

These are observations from my desk, not a load test or a stability measurement at every height.

The tradeoff after adding casters

I added wheels to the desk. That lets me roll it out when I need to reach the cables or the back of the PC. The change I notice while sitting is less welcome: the wheels raise the whole desk, and I’d like its lowest position to be a little lower.

Concept diagram only; these are not measured dimensions or a drawing of the EN2.

A higher model number or price is not enough information to choose a replacement. Compare the actual minimum and maximum height of the exact frame, including the desktop and any wheels you plan to use.

Make a height note before ordering

1. Set your chair where you normally sit, with your feet supported.
2. Find a keyboard position where your shoulders can relax and you can reach without hunching.
3. Measure the floor-to-desktop height at that position.
4. Check whether the desk’s quoted minimum includes the desktop. Add the height of the intended casters if it does not already include them.
5. Measure space for knees, drawers, desk supports, and a cable tray. A low frame setting alone does not tell you how much legroom remains.

Write down both the height you want and the lowest height the finished setup will reach. That is more useful than assuming a desk labeled “standing” will fit every seated position.

Keeping the PC with the moving desk

My CoJewe bracket holds the tower firmly off the floor. Because the PC, monitors, and desk rise together, the distance between their connections stays the same. With the wheels, I can roll the desk out to add or remove cables at the back of the PC.

The drawback is access inside the case: I would need to loosen the bracket to open the PC. Leave room for that and for ventilation when choosing where it will sit.

Moving the computer with the desk does not solve every cable problem. Power leads and connections to equipment that stays put still need enough slack through the full height range and before you roll the desk. Check those before moving anything.

Small storage that doesn’t take the desktop

I use a shallow under-desk drawer for pens, USB drives, small screwdrivers, and small notebooks. It won’t hold large items, but its low profile keeps it away from my legs. I’d like it to extend a little farther; it works fine for my use.

I’m considering a second drawer alongside it. Before doing that, I’d measure the space for both, including the frame supports and my seated position. More storage is only useful if I can still sit comfortably.

What I would check if starting again

I’d begin with the finished minimum height, including wheels. Then I’d check screen width, cable travel, and where the drawer and tower bracket will fit. My monitors extend slightly beyond the desk sides, so the desktop width is not the full width of the setup.

A desk treadmill is something I’m curious about, not something I own or have tested. Trying one would tell me more about working while walking than ordering it based on the idea alone.
