    I really enjoyed your video. I just purchased the E7 Plus. I wish I would have seen your video before purchase to use your code. I still have to assemble and am a little worried as I am not very handy with building stuff. I feel more confident having watched you build the frame. Great job.

    Great video! Thanks for the detailed walk through! I am concerned about how the electronics will hold up over the years, though I guess time will tell.
    Acacia is a relatively soft wood. Have you seen dings or scratches with how you finished it?

    • @JosephKim
      @JosephKim  3 месяца назад

      I am extremely careful on my desk as I know the wood and the finish is not the most robust material. It makes handling products on my desk a bit of challenge, but I love the look.
      I do use a desk mat normally to protect it from day to day wear and I have not had much dings or scratches. If I drop a phone or a camera I'm sure it will damage it 😂

      I forget the exact size! But you should always look at the stem of the screw, not the threads. I often go one size smaller just in case.

    Hi! Thanks so much for sharing this. Does this also have a lot of shake from front to back when the desk is at standing height?

    • @JosephKim
      @JosephKim  3 месяца назад +1

      It has the least amount of front to back shake for all desks I've tried.

    Great video! Does the front support beam come into contact with your chair of legs?

    • @JosephKim
      @JosephKim  3 месяца назад

      Not at all. I'm not 100% sure which is the part you are referring as the support beam of the frame, but no portion of the desk comes in contact of the chair.

    Hey, buddy!
    I found you about the keyboard video, I have exactly the same needs as you for a keyboard, mechanics, brown switches, full block of numbers, multimedia.
    What kind of keyboard do you end up using?
    I've been using SteelSeries Apex 7 for a long time it's great, but my fingers started getting sore from it because it's too tight on the blue switches. So I'm looking for a solution and I've settled on the G915, but I realize that I don't need the extra macro keys and will get in the way.
    Or Keychron K5 SE, I see you are still using it, right?

    I plan to get a standing desk and use with an under desk treadmill. Also I am on carpet. Would you say it's worth it to get a 4 leg over a 2 leg? Flexispot sale + 15% code means I can get the E7 Plus for $550, and the cheaper 2 leg E5 would be $300

    • @JosephKim
      @JosephKim  7 дней назад

      Is your floor elevated? (second floor or over crawl space) then you will see lots of movement that no desk can accommodate as your floor will move. Mine is on second floor and have lots of stuff mounted making it it more wobbly. But I would probably go for 4 leg as I will end up bumping into the desk a lot on the treadmill.

      @@JosephKim Yes I would be on the second floor, and on carpet. I would also prefer to mount my monitors for adjustability. I guess the 4 legs would be worth the extra cost?
