Flexispot M17: The Perfect Standing Desk Converter for Every Work Style

The Flexispot M17 standing desk converter is the perfect solution for those who can’t decide whether to sit or stand while working. Priced affordably at $149.99/£199.99, it provides a versatile alternative to buying a full standing desk. Whether you’re bursting with energy or feeling drained, the M17 allows you to seamlessly switch between sitting and standing without hassle. It’s cheaper than other standing desk options and turns any desk into a workspace in minutes.

Easy Assembly: No Tools Required
Assembling the Flexispot M17 is a breeze. Unlike complex flat-pack furniture, this converter is designed for quick setup—no screws, bolts, or tools are needed. Simply place it on your desk and slide the keyboard tray into place. For added stability, adhesive tape and cable ties are included, but even without using the tape, the converter stays firmly in position. This ease of setup makes the M17 especially great for renters or office workers who may need to move or disassemble their workspace.

Sleek and Durable Design
The M17 is available in black, white, and bamboo finishes, each offering a stylish, durable design that fits any workspace aesthetic. The bamboo version is particularly popular, thanks to its ability to hide small imperfections and its natural antibacterial properties. Built with the same materials as the pricier Flexispot models, the M17 features a scratch-resistant wooden top and a sturdy steel frame, ensuring it will last for years.

Functional Features for Everyday Use
Adjusting the height of the Flexispot M17 is simple, requiring just a squeeze of the lower handle to smoothly raise or lower the desk. It can rise up to 19.7 inches, making it suitable for taller individuals. However, users over 5’9″ may want to ensure their desk is high enough to maintain ergonomic comfort. The spacious U-shaped top section easily accommodates two monitors, while the large keyboard tray has plenty of room for different keyboard sizes.

A Minor Flaw: The Keyboard Tray Wobble
The only downside of the M17 is the keyboard tray’s slight wobble. While structurally sound, the tray isn’t rigid enough to prevent small movements when typing. It’s a minor flaw that might bother users during extended typing sessions, but it doesn’t affect the overall functionality of the desk.

Should You Buy the Flexispot M17?
If you’re not ready to invest in a full standing desk but want to upgrade your workspace, the Flexispot M17 is an excellent choice. It offers a premium design, easy assembly, and practical features that will enhance your work environment. Just be aware of the keyboard tray’s movement, and ensure your desk height is compatible with the converter.
