Flexispot Comhar Standing Desk with Drawer Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ต.ค. 2024
- Check out my new desk! After using a sit-stand desk during the week-long art retreat I attended in October I really thought one would be useful in my home. Flexispot reached out to me to see if I would review the Flexispot Comhar Standing Desk with Drawer and sent me the desk to use for free. Here is a link to the desk they sent, I chose the white frame, white glass top and castors. Flexispot USA site: shrsl.com/4cay8 (affiliate link) Canada site: bit.ly/47L0EIu Use my code Comhar20 for an extra $20 off on the desk
*also available on Amazon: amzn.to/46Sml8b
Pros:
Heavy duty
Easy to assemble
Easy to move (with castors, sold separately)
Easy to adjust
USB charging ports
Locking feature
4 programmable heights
12"x26"x1.5" drawer
Quiet to operate
Choice to table top (bamboo, chipboard or glass)
Cons:
Price
It is heavy so assembly is a 2 person job
When I sewed on it the top vibrated more than I liked. This might be due to the glass reflecteding the vibrations of the machine rather than absorbing them like the chipboard or bamboo might.
Overall this is a very high-quality product. I went with the white glass top so I could clean up my art messes easily. It is expensive but hopefully that means it will last a lifetime.

I love that you have several work stations throughout your home, my Art/Craft desk is a glass top small dining room table, it’s very easy to clean, very sturdy, originally when I bought my condo I set up a dining area but later on converted the area to my art space.
That's a great idea!
Hullo Lindsay, I am set for desks and work surfaces. I do appreciate your reviews and I feel very comfortable sharing your thoughts on art supplies with others who are looking for a new product. I have not truly purchased a “New” art supply in quite some time! I have re-purchased paints and papers even newer canvases or boards to paint on. I have managed to avoid the trendy products like the jelly gouache. I use better quality supplies and I know the brands that I like and those that I don’t. I am just so glad to have found a truly trustworthy source for reviews that I have no reservations about sharing with those asking for my recommendations. I simply don’t have the time nor energy to try new products! Thank you for sharing all of your expertise with your viewers. 😊
My pleasure!
I have been looking for a review on this specific standing desk. I am happy I came across your review and even more happy that your perspective is from a crafters review. I use acrylic paints and also polymer clay so the glass was something I was considering. Thank you for your honest review.
Glad it was helpful!
Love the adjustable heights for crafters in wheelchairs, with amazing glass top, crafting surface area. Great review Lindsay....thank you!
Thanks so much!
Hope this is not inappropriate, but Linday is looking stunning!
Aww, thanks!
I got a standing desk at work because of hip problems. It has made an incredible difference! At home I use an old drafting table. Standing while you work is much better than sitting. Because you are constantly shifting your weight, you even burn extra calories.
That's a great idea!
You could put a rubber mat under the machine, and it might reduce the vibration.
Yes, a high density foam rubber mat could dampen the vibration and the sewing machine would stay stable.
Good idea!
A rubber mat under the sewing machine would probably fix the vibration! Very cool!
Good idea!
I wonder if you could place a rubber mat under a the sewing machine to absorb some of the vibration. Thank you for the review! This seems like a really nice desk.
That might work! Something to absorb the vibration.
I just ordered a rubber mat for the hubs garage...😏
I have a desk like this in black with glass top and I absolutely love it. I often make cards out of my watercolor paintings and cut my own papers and standing at the correct height is a life saver. Great investment!
Nice!
Thanks Lindsay! I have a stand/sit desk on my 'want' list. This is good information. BTW, you look fabulous!
Thank you!
Thanks for the review Lindsay! I’m not sure if it would help with the vibration, but a yoga mat under the sewing machine really helps with it moving around on any table.
Great idea!
What a Blessing for you, Lindsay!
I have a suggestion for the sewing machine...
Just put a "rug liner" or similar cushion under the machine, and even a standing mat underneath. That will help with the vibrations.
My neighbor gave me a standing desk; but it turned out to black...yuk!
And it has no drawer..too bad! Finally, it has a hand crank...
Yours is so much nicer!
I also don't have the glass top, but I have a large cutting mat.
Having it at standing height turns out to be perfect for my die cutting machine, especially the crank ones to get better leverage on it.
Enjoy!!!❤
Nice!
I can highly recommend an adjustable desk in your craft room. It´s perfect! I have had a an adjustable office desk for years. LOVE IT. It´s been used for a lot of things 😄Kids have been using it to build a tent, I had my daughter standing on it when I needed to correct her ball gown at the hem. Thank you for all your videos! 😘
Great idea!
Jeremy made me a sit to stand desk for my work desk after I became a remote worker. The base was from Amazon and the desk top is rough cut cedar filled in with epoxy. It is so amazing. When I retire in 104 days this will be my new craft desk. I would send a picture but can’t figure it out hahaha!!
That is awesome!
Thank you for the review, Lindsay! I just saw my eye doctor and I thought I was going to need cataract surgery! Instead I was happy to hear I just needed new glasses. The person who helped me asked about what I did during the day. I told her I like to make watercolor art and cards. She asked me so many questions about the surface and height and slant of my art work surface. I work on a regular table surface with glass on top. I also have a drafting table that I will be moving into my craft room. I do not think this table that you reviewed would be worth the investment if someone has arthritis or eye sight issues. As we get older we need a slanted work space due to arthritis with crafting or watercolors and as you mentioned being heavy to move around however if you paint with a different medium such as oils and use an easel, that topic may need another review! Thank you again for helping us all figure out the best products to invest in!
I have seen adjustable drafting table desks that rise and fall as well.
Roving reviewer Lindsay returns! The natural light looks good in the video, btw. Re: vibrations-- You could buy anti-vibration pads or mats, even available online. They’re sold to put under the feet of washing machines to reduce vibration, among other things. Some brands also stop noise. They’re made of rubber & maybe other materials, depending on the purpose. Rubber is the best material for stopping vibrations. Just my 2 cent thought! 😊
I actually have some rubber sheets that plumbers make gaskets from. I'll try that!
Gasp! Is that snow I'm being blinded by!? Notice where my eyes went? Forget the desk or the drapes!!! I miss the snow from time to time... Glad I no longer have to shovel snow, scrape ice and plug the car in. My wife never heard of having to plug the car in!!!😂
It sure is but it's gone now, we just got a ton of rain!
You always do great reviews. I think I need this. More flat level space to conquer and clutter up. Lol
Glad it was helpful!
I love it! Honestly when you said it was pricey, before you said the price I was guessing $650! I can’t afford it but I wouldn’t turn one down for sure.
Good guess! They do have more affordable options and sales too.
@@thefrugalcrafter If I ever got one, I’d definitely pick the white glass. Bamboo is tempting but it’s be just my luck I’d stain it with some ink or staining paint. Sales always work for me!
Hey there! First time commenter, long time watcher. Husband and I just watched your review and went and bought the desk converter based on your review! I told them it was you that we heard about it from :) I'm so excited to try this out, I do TONS of writing and I'm so tired of sitting. Thanks for the review and I watch your videos all the time. Have a great day!
I hope you enjoy it!
I have a desk like this, just a different brand. I really like mine. Three things this one has that mine doesn’t are the locking button, memory buttons and controls on the front edge - mine doesn’t lock, there are no memory buttons and the buttons on mine are on the top (in a corner). But mine looks the same, also has the glass too, can be sewn on and is less expensive. I’m betting having the casters on yours is why it jiggles when sewing on it.
Maybe
I have 2 standing desks in my Amazon art room list (one is for puzzles) so this was a great and unexpected review! Ty!
Glad it was helpful!
I have a large Husky workbench as my desk. It will hold up to 1000lbs. I got something this study because my office is in the downstairs bedroom, and the desk is under the window - you can climb on top of the desk to get out the window in case of emergency. ^_^
Great idea!
Thanks, Lindsay!
You're welcome!
Always enjoy your reviews and new ideas thanks so much .
You are so welcome!
you are looking beautiful ,the lighting was perfect
Thank you so much 😊
This review makes me want an adjustable desk more than I already did, I just need an adjustable house to fit it in!
Seriously 😆
You cover so many important points in your reviews! The desk seems to have many good features! Your hairstyle is very chic and looks great on you! 😊
Thanks! I pinned it up so I would have some waves in the evening 😆
I have a rigged Ikea stand up table/desk. It is not adjustable but it works. Thank you for your honest review.
Glad it was helpful!
Try a piece of butcher block under your sewing machine, and that could stop the vibration. I did that on my sewing table, and it worked great. Congratulations on your new desk!
Good idea!
I now try to have rollers on anything heavy that I buy or really anything that may be difficult to move. Rollers are the bomb, baby! And that desk looks like the bomb too. Not in my budget, but it sure is nice!
😎 Enjoy!!
I bought two standard, not stand/sit flexi spots for a long tabletop run for art and office work. I didn't get the glass top. Mine came with a steel piece to hang cords off. Wish mine had the electronic ports but I'm making it work with a surge protector below on the floor. Super stable, very good quality. I really like it, and it was a good value and useful for my studio.
Thanks for sharing!
I love your hair, Lindsay. It's cute but elegant.
Hi-low tables are great.
Thanks so much! 😊
I love my Flexispot for my normal computer/paperwork desk. I got a bike chair too, a standing pad, and a rolling file drawer. Very happy with my purchases! Mine has 3 memory settings, so I have one for the bike height, one for standing, and one for using with one of my dining chairs. So I have options. Mine is big and very heavy and I did also get the casters, which is super helpful (especially to roll towards me once I'm on the bike.). I did need a neighbor to help me flip it after assembly!
I do remember seeing a sewing-specific desk that they sold, at least a couple years ago... not sure if it's less bouncy. They also had a desk for music stuff/music keyboard, and a few other specialty ones!
Good the know! That bike sounds awesome!
Awesome desk Lindsay! It would be so nice to have that's for sure. Thanks for sharing this great video.
oh nice desk very kool.
It's great!
I bought a mat for my sewing maching to make it quieter. It was sold for sewing machines and as suggested earlier it did make it vibrate less.
Oh cool!
It looks beautiful! I hope you enjoy it. :)
So far so good!
This looks like a great idea if you need a new desk! P.S. Cute hairdo 💖
Thank you!! 😊
Nice table. Something to keep in mind. Thank you.
Thank you! I will be considering this option for a new desk. I like the white glass top, too, but I am going to check out the other styles they have. TYFS!
Enjoy!
I have that same desk with the glass top (but branded differently) and I adore mine so much. It's ruined me for other desks. *lol*
Nice!
Thank you Lindsay❤
This would make an excellent island in a kitchen too, if you have the space. I’ve wanted an adjustable desk for years because I don’t sit well because of the 9 herniated discs in my back 😒 thanks for the information! 😊
Glad it was helpful!
I had been considering a standing desk for paper cutting and "assembling". I have my antique paper cutters at the end of a large desk and leaning over gives me back pain. this seems like it would work great for that. (they are not over 200 pounds 😂)
tfs.
That's a great idea!
It’ll be easy to clean if you use hand sanitizer or alcohol that will remove acrylic. You’d have to use turpentine to remove oil.😊
I'm constantly inspired by your content. 👌
Thanks 😊
TFS! I've been eyeing one of these. My back issues don't allow me to sit for more than 30 minutes. I hope you do get a commission on this.❤ The one I liked was $249 on Amazon😉.
If you click through my link to get to amazon you can buy whatever you like (not just the product i linked to) and I will earn a commission. Thank you!
@@thefrugalcrafter I'll do this more often, you so deserve it! You've schooled me on so many different things and I truly appreciate YOU!😘
that's so kind of you, thanks! @@deedeebattle2522
Nice review Lindsay. Looks like a great table.
It is!
Wow! I hope that desk actually rises and lowers. I'd hate to think of it 'fall'ing on you, OUCH! I hope never to see and films that Lila has made of them bringing in the Jaws of Life to rescue you from beneath your desk :) Okay, silliness over. I've wanted one of these for a long time. I used to work on one when I took customer service calls for Xcel Energy....so nice to vary your standing/sitting times throughout the work shift.
It is!
Nice review. It's nice they have different surface options. Thanks.
I agree!
My dad made me a sewing table back in 1970. It has a cut out so I could drop in my old sewing machine. When I got my new machine, it no longer fit in the hole and it would vibrate a bit. When I got one that did English, it was worse. I found some thick shelf padding to fit under it and that stopped the vibration. It is dense and sealed, so it is sturdy. I don't remember where I got that.
Good tip!
You could try shelf gripper or foam rubber alphabet floor tiles for shock absorbsion
Good idea!
I have a beautiful glass table that I use for art. I love it because the top tilts. It also collapses down for storage (but it's not easy to do so I just leave it up.) But if these sit-stand desks had been around when I got the table I now have, I would have seriously considered this. But it might be worth replacing my computer/writing desk sometime in the not too distant future (except I would miss my drawer space!)
Lindsay, two weeks ago I found a sturdy plastic scraper specifically marketed towards artists/crafters at my dollar store. You might be able to find that in your dollar store rather than using a razor blade on the glass surface.
I have plastic razor blades, thanks for the reminder!
Love your new desk I know u will use it well 🎉
Thanks!
Love your review. Very informative. But you are a bad influence 😂😂😂. I immediately bought one. Thanks so much for the help.
Glad I could help!
That glass top does lool nice. I have a standing desk for work and the top has a wood texture that isn't great for writing on. For work, that's ok... For art I would not like it.
Good to know!
If been eyeballing them for my home office, but struggling to find an extra long one that has what I want and fits with my decor.
Good luck!
a fantastic review, so good ❤❤❤
Thanks!
Went to the link and crazy Amazon is asking me to sign in lol!
😆 aren't we all signed in this time of year lol!
I don't think you're being too picky. If the vibration is something that bothers you, then I guess that's sort of an ergonomic issue? I think it would bother me too. Wondering though if the vibration could be fixed by putting some sort of stabilizer bar(s) on it?
Sounds like a good item. Thank you.
You bet
They make a silicone hook to wind cords on, they are stronger than command hooks.
Thanks!
Wow, that’s awesome!
Thanks!
You can put a light beneath it also if you need a light board. 😊
Good idea, I'll have to try that!
A great desk. My daughter found a used one at the stationery store and she got it for $150! She had just finished ordering new desks at the Grocery Outlet Company and they were over $1000 each. Hopefully you will find a way to use it for sewing..
That is awesome!
Great product review.
Thank you!
Hi Lindsay, How much is this beautiful desk? Flexispot needs to know I need one and its all high tech and glass I really love that. Thanks Maria
$450 with the glass top I think but I also have a coupon in the video description. They have lots of models at different prices too so you may wish to look around the website.
Enjoy! ❤
you crack me up!!
I'm glad:)
I feel like standing desks are the furniture equivalent of "stop trying to make fetch happen".
I'm not getting the reference
Re sewing machine: Maybe if you placed a mat under the machine the vibration would lessen?
I am watching this a bit late. But as a potter, a 220 lb capacity it would be useful. 😃
Good idea! Just keep the motor dry:)
When my mum bought the craft table that she complains that I never use she thought it be easy enough to move into my room if I wanted to use there. It is too heavy for that so it stays in the back.
Does it have wheels? If not maybe you can put some on.
@@thefrugalcrafter It does have wheels but it is not so easy to move as it is heavy.
Where are you sponsored by them for this video or did they give you the desk for free? This information isn’t in your video description, nor have you stated it at the beginning of your video.
That answer is in the video.
Not sponsored but they gave me the desk as I stared in the video and I am using an affiliate link which is disclosed in the video description. I was not paid to make the video.
2nd
What size is this one? Also would you say an underdesk treadmill fits under it considering the bar thing at the bottom?
I linked to it. The size is on the website. I haven't used a desk treadmill, so I can't say.
@@thefrugalcrafter thank you!! 💖
The desk is cool... but I love seeing the kitties 😅 lol
Yes! Frida wasn't in the Christmas tree video.
Not all sewing machines vibrate a lot, most newer heavier sewing machines do not
Mine is older but heavy duty all metal. It doesn't vibrate on a dense wood table.
Now I just need a sugar daddy😅❤ Nah, not worth it.😂
😆
Haha!! 😂
IKEA?
Sadly we don't have idea here.
@@thefrugalcrafter You're missing nothing, very expensive flat packs, to say the least.
Clean craft? 😮😂
I know, right!
