This is a fab instructional video - with one small exception. The screws for attaching the side brackets to the desk top are stated as being 'D', but in fact they are 'E' (and you can clearly see it's a type 'E' at 4:20). This confused me at first as there aren't enough 'D' screws to use in this way, but once I figured out it was 'E', I had no further issues, and found all other parts of the step by step walkthrough really clear and helpful. Made the job a whole lot easier! Thanks Flexispot! :)
We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you so much for flagging with us and pointing this out. It will reduce the confusion of other people watching this video. And we are glad this video really helps 💙
@@clerooth We are really sorry for bringing you a bad experience. We have already updated the video and here is the link: th-cam.com/video/reh8FzdzG_g/w-d-xo.html
This video should be mentioned in the paper manual. Maybe even add a QR code/ link. The instruction manual isn't bad, but its pretty bare bones. This video clears up any confusion that might be had.
Hello, both the steps in the manual and the video will allow you to successfully complete the desk installation. You can choose either method for installation.
Following manual would be easy as once you fix the plate to the desk, you won’t have to lift heavy to align the plate to desk screws. Wish I read manual before the video. But overall still easy to assemble.
Help! I should have followed this video instead of the manual. I tightened the 4 screws that came in the crossbar (not the B screws) before adjusting the length. Now I can't unscrew them.
@@quietspacearts Thank you. I actually bought the bamboo one shortly after asking the question. My wife loves it. She put an under the desk treadmill (aka walking pad) underneath it and loves it. It's very sturdy. I just had ankle surgery and she unboxed it and put it together herself (she's a size 2 and weighs 115 lbs).
Hello dear customers, normally the preset slots can be aligned properly. If they are misaligned, you can use a drill to make additional holes. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

😍😍😍 Great video. As a 5'8" female I was able to put this together because of this video. 🤗 Although my table is a white top and I had to use the "E" screws instead of the "D", I was able to quickly determine I needed the smaller screws due to the pre drilled holes. 🤗 I love the tables, it's beautiful and goes really high. I need it for my nail art. 😍 I love it! Thank you for this video. Very well detailed and straight to the point. 😍
As others have said this is a really useful video, and a great product. I would reiterate the comment that @mclear said about it incorrectly stating screws D instead of the correct screws E (which are the only self-tapping screws supplied) for securing the frame to the desktop. The product itself is very well packed and I particularly like that all the screws are in separate compartments - something that other suppliers of self-assembly products would do well to copy. However I would offer an alternative assembly sequence. The current (September 2023) instructions supplied with a UK E7 frame suggest that, after fixing the Side Brackets to the Supporting Beam, next to fix that assembled frame to the desktop before adding the Lifting Columns and Feet. I did this when I fitted a new E7 frame to my existing old IKEA Galant desktop and it was MUCH easier than the sequence in the video.
Great video! I assembled the frame with a 180x80cm tabletop on my own today. Took roughtly 1.5-2 hours and was a pretty smooth operation. The very first step with the up/down facing orientation of the center beam could use a better explanation in the instruction manual but other than that it was perfect. Only when flipping the table (almost 60kg at that point) I could have used another pair of hands but the technique shown in the video worked well enaugh after some attempts at lifting.
@@mixedfuses8pack48 Do you mean the ones at 5:57? Yeah those you have to screw in yourself but you don't need a drill for it. I did everything with a screwdriver. The outside screws for the base fit the pre-drilled holes.
Perfect video! Super clear step-by-step instructions I never once had to look at the written directions. Took me 1 hour 8 minutes to assemble with zero problems. Thanks!
I thought I was losing my mind with the cable tray when I put this desk together 3 years ago. I even sent a support ticket with a picture, showing that the holes in the tray didn't line up with the crossbars. They sent me another cable tray, and all new hardware. It still didn't fit, so I gave up and never installed it. I'm watching this video today as I'm putting my desk back together after a move, and am AMAZED that nobody told me that the tray clips UNDER the screws when I reached out 🤦 Better late than never I suppose. Thanks for this video.
would be good to say what bit is needed for the drill. I did not realize I needed a hex drill bit and my drill didnt come with one so I had to go and buy the bits
It comes with a hex key. You don't need to drill them. You can tighten them by hand just fine. The only ones you need to drill use a standard Phillips.
Hello dear customer, the location of the drill depends on how you install the frame. If you are not satisfied with the drilling position, you can also use the electric drill for additional drilling
Error E08, E024 on the display, the right leg froze. I changed cables and tested all cables and nothing happened. The table is currently tilted and I am unable to work, Any solution? model E7H
We are really sorry for bringing you a bad experience. Could you please re-plug the power cable of the right motor and reset the desk ( Long press the down button to lower the desk to the lowest height and wait for the desk to bounce back). If the right leg still doesn't work, please contact our customer service: contact@flexispot.com. Please remember to tell us the order number of your desk, the email address you used to purchase the desk, and some pictures showing the problems. Our customer service will help you as soon as possible!
My prefilled holes also did not line up. I ended up having to measure from the sides to make sure they were the same, and using the self tapping screws to make new holes.
My EC7 desk installation guide reads: Item No. EC4B-IB/EC4W-IB/EC4S-IB , is that the correct guide for the EC7 desk ? Also, I have 16 screws of part E and in video he has 14 screws of part E
My side brackets are not lining up with the predrilled holes in my desk no matter what I do. Any advice? I tried swapping sides and "reassemble" them, but they seem to leave some room between the crossbeam and side brackets when fastening...
Hi, did you try to adjust the length of the crossbar? If you tried and it didn't work, can you send us a video of your installation on FB? That way we can help you better.

If installing on a custom desktop, what is the recommended distance from the edge of the desk to screw the outside frame screws in? Like what he's doing at 4:19.
Hi! The distance between the edge of the table top and the frame screws is discretionary. You'll be fine if the holes on both sides are symmetrical and the frame can be fitted in.

I was so frustrated putting this desk together when I got it 3 years ago. I second this comment.
Very good Instructions!
Thanks!
Just so you know, the manual is different. It tells you to fix the plate to the desk and then install all the different parts.
Hello, both the steps in the manual and the video will allow you to successfully complete the desk installation. You can choose either method for installation.
Following manual would be easy as once you fix the plate to the desk, you won’t have to lift heavy to align the plate to desk screws. Wish I read manual before the video. But overall still easy to assemble.
Great explanation!
The display on my E7 shows the height in inches but I would prefer cm. How can I change it?
Help! I should have followed this video instead of the manual. I tightened the 4 screws that came in the crossbar (not the B screws) before adjusting the length. Now I can't unscrew them.
Do you have a power drill around? If so it might help you
@@flexispotus I do, but it seems like the screws are stripped 😔
Great video, no BS. Music unnecessary though
Thank you for your encouragement and advice！
Your 61x32 clipboard desktop is advertised as "sliced". What does that mean?
it means it comes in sections so if for example was a 6ft desktop it be say 2 x 3ft pieces

It is hard to line up table top to holes
Hello dear customers, normally the preset slots can be aligned properly. If they are misaligned, you can use a drill to make additional holes. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Good video)))
This is a really great instructional video. It's a lot more in-depth than the booklet.
Thank you Bob 😘
At 4:22 it’s showing the wrong screw. It’s E screws per the booklet that go into the wood, not D.

Is there a template or instructions where to drill if you are using your own tabletop?
You ever figure this out? Switching out the top now.
If you buy a desktop from elsewhere what screws do you use to screw the desktop in.
Am I supposed to remove the rubber grommets before screwing the frame into the desktop? I am having trouble lining the holes up
Hi! There's no need to remove the rubber grommets :) Besides, these rubber grommets can also provides some cushioning

Did you have to drill new holes in the rails after extending the length of the crossbeam?

Will this support a 38” Curved Monitor? I’m looking to upgrade my Alienware Gaming PC & Monitor to a new desk.
It depends on the size of your tabletop. The length of your table should be at least 180cm :)
I have 16 screws for E? Anyone else run into this?
It's just extras.
QR codes to TH-cam instruction guide videos should be standard today.
How thick is the wood your drilling it?
Hello, the thickness of the wood panel in the video is 1 inch.

Which drilling holes should be used on a 160x80 plate ? The ones far outside (closer to the edge of the plate) or the ones on the inner ?

Two for keypad I think
I don't see how I can possibly take that edge to slide it underneath. Maybe I have a defective piece.
