But upon objective comparison, the E5 certainly holds its own and offers lots of bang for the buck with all of its included features. The Jarvis Standing desk is as adjustable as you can get. The decision between the Fully Jarvis and the FlexiSpot E5 might depend on your exact desk shape, height and surface organization requirements. The Jarvis motor noise tested higher than average. The E5 motor noise is listed at 50dBs, which is well within the average range for electric standing desks. Note whether your desktop load is concentrated or spread out, as this may affect desk function. The Jarvis states a 350lb lifting capacity, though this is calculated when items on the desktop are evenly placed.Īdvantage: This depends on your set-up. The E5 has a maximum weight capacity of 275lbs – measured at every single point on the desktop. The Jarvis takes about 30 to 90 minutes depending on your level of experience and skill with assembly, with a bit of complication attaching the upper frame to the column.Īdvantage: FlexiSpot Weight Capacity (Inclusive of Top Weights)
The E5 takes about 15 minutes to assemble. But for standing desks without cross support between the two legs (to allow for more human leg room), wobbling generally starts above 43.5” – so FlexiSpot’s E5 offers stability at heights above the industry average. In our thorough product testing, the E5 started to wobble slightly when it reached 47.5”.
