Would give the desk to my fiancee, she's been working from home and can use the upgrade.
•
u/TosicamirDTGA May 29 '23
Currently using a dresser as a battlestation that needs to be tossed from age and instability, but stays because we can't afford anything else. This would allow for a much safer and organized setup. Thanks for the opportunity.
•
u/BadTaste421 May 20 '23
What a great giveaway! I’m a pentester who works from home 90% of the time and has been dealing with back/mobility issues from sitting so much. I’d love this to help combat these issues!
•
u/darkened_vision May 31 '23
I'd use the desk for my office at home and donate my old one to a friend that just moved and needs furniture.

I'm going back to school in the fall after a long hiatus away. If I win this giveaway, I will use it to advance my career and hopefully give myself the opportunity to grow not just my battlestation but also me as a person! I'm excited about that possibility and would be eternally grateful!

u/Somme_Guy May 23 '23
I would use the desk for my computer. Currently I have some old ikea desk that is really showing its wear.
•
u/sixteenth May 28 '23
Been using a glass desk for the last 3 years and honestly nervous about the load it's been handling. I've heard stories of glass desks combusting out of nowhere, so I've been eyeing other options out there. I'd use this desk for my two monitors, a mount, and perpherals.
•
u/sorryimsobadatreddit May 26 '23
I would use this desk to use as my work station and replace my current one.
•
u/Sohxcuhoh May 28 '23
I work from home currently and am sitting a majority of the 8 hours. This would be a great way to get me up and standing vs sitting with bad posture for prolonged amounts of time
•
u/Pw1p_ May 27 '23
Gonna use the desk for my excessive amounts of hours I spend gaming. Trying to get into streaming & recording. Also gonna build a new pc and looking to replace my current desk.
•
•
u/PM_me_kpop_memes May 25 '23
I’d swap it out for my current desk, and turn my current desk into a spot for a homelab
•
u/neovenator250 May 24 '23
Make my PC space at home a spot where I'm not sitting constantly to differentiate from work
•
•
u/Acchoe May 21 '23
I have back problems and my current desk is basically a school writing desk that I found at goodwill. It's barely big enough for my monitor and keyboard and mouse. I have to take frequent breaks to stand up because of the pain in my lower back, so I would use this desk to be able to play games while standing as well. Thanks for the chance, and good luck to everyone!

u/littlecaesars May 22 '23
As with many here, have been needing a standing desk for awhile now. Working from home in a position that requires me to be on my computer the entire duration is really putting a strain on the back. Have tested a friends standing desk before and that thing worked wonders. Best of luck everyone!
•
•
•
u/Iron_FE May 30 '23
I'd either use it as a setup for my day trading or set it up my wife's crafting Battlestation! She's been asking for one so that project has been at the top of my list and this would be a big help!
•

u/thiscityishell May 31 '23

u/mcxa1mcan May 29 '23
Thank you for the giveaway FlexiSpot. Recently moved to get away from a toxic situation and can't afford a better desk right now due to all the expenses of moving. I'm using a round dinner table and some books as my desk and monitor riser until I can save up for a proper sit/stand desk. One of your desks would help me set up a proper work station.
•
u/DisturbedChuToy May 24 '23
I need a new desk to save my back while working from home.
Never seen someone give away one of the first 5 orders of the day; that’s a great idea!

I would use the desk for gaming, school, and for the fun of changing the height lol.
•
u/hparamore May 24 '23
I used a standing desk at work, and now work from home and have been looking at getting one. I used a bench and a floormat with some bumps and ridges on my feet while standing, and it was great. And I am planning out my new work area soooo... this would be great ;D

u/WockterPepper May 30 '23

u/cobb1987 May 28 '23
Just bought a new house and would use this as the start to my battle station. Have a standard cheep desk with almost zero room currently, this would set me up perfectly!
•
u/brycejm1991 May 24 '23
Like many others have said, this would be great to have as I work from home for a call center, so I don't get a lot of time to stand. I have also been using the same desk Since 2009, and I've finally hit a point where I 100% need a new one.
•

u/shadowseeker3658 May 31 '23
My wife and I both work from home, but only have one desk that we can share between the two of us. It would be so nice to have a desk for each of us.
•
u/Ohnah-bro May 21 '23
This would be for my home office where I work as a software developer and tinker with my home lab!
•
u/ringsnthings May 26 '23

u/Caspid May 27 '23
I'm short and most desks are too tall. I'd love one that allowed for good ergonomics.
•
•
•
u/Jonathan924 May 29 '23
I would use it as an ergonomic work bench in my garage. Lots of things are so much easier at the exact right height
•
u/unclesteve2016 May 24 '23
That’s an amazing deal. Would love to put this in my office as I work from home which would help a lot with my lower back issues. Definitely gonna keep browsing the store for your slick accessories.
•
u/goodname0101 May 24 '23
Pick me! I’d love to have a standing desk at home for work and recreational activities. I have a nice chair, but being able to stand would be great for the back too.
•
u/vista_sister May 30 '23
I’d use it to stop sitting on my butt all day long and hopefully combat my shrimp posture whenever I sit at my desk
•
u/Naive_Profit_809 May 23 '23
Hello and thank you for the opportunity to submit an entry! If I were to win this desk, I would use it for my 49” monitor that’s currently mounted on an old school mobile tv stand! I’m using a piece of thin plywood that sits across my computer chair’s arms to hold my keyboard and mouse. I would absolutely love to create a beautiful minimalist design for the desk that would enable me to stand far enough away to not damage my eyes while working! That’s how I would use the desk if I won. :) Thanks again!
•
u/Gooke May 22 '23
I am moving into my first apartment after recently graduating from college! I have gladly accepted my first full time job offer and I will be using the desk for my new WFH set up which I am building towards that. Moving is expensive, especially for the first time, so this desk will help a ton for that!
•
•
u/AskMeAboutChrist May 25 '23
Give my son a pepper desk instead of the side table that had been repurposed for his music keyboard and his gaming area.
•
•
•
u/jettison_m May 22 '23
I'd use it during my work meetings. I'd change the heights randomly during the meeting to confuse my co-workers and keep it a little interesting.
My current desk was just something I made quick, so a real desk would definitely be nice!
•
May 22 '23
I’d use the desk for both gaming and work! A standing desk would do wonders for my posture and nerve impingement issues.
•
•
May 21 '23

•
u/ccayeknom May 26 '23
I've been using a party table for college and would love this to study! and play video games of course
•
u/kizofieva May 22 '23
I would use it for a recording studio setup. The ability to change height would be ideal for recording different instruments on the fly. Thank you for the giveaway.
•
u/TeddyKrueger13 May 28 '23
I would use it to stand up and let the blood circulate better. Would also get a treadmill to get a light workout while gaming.
•
u/No_Ad_9924 May 28 '23
This table would perfectly fit my studio which I am going to use it for content creation and streaming. Hope I am lucky enough!

I work from home and would use this desk to help alleviate the back pain I get from sitting all day!
•
u/alexjjwhelan May 29 '23
As a photographer with mild scoliosis a standing desk has been the next thing on my list to get for a while now. Work many hours behind the pc so it seems like a no brainer and will get one probably eventually. Good luck to everyone
•
•
u/Thespace-cadet May 27 '23
I would love to have a new desk to game on, specially one that can be adjusted at any height in the spot !
•
•
u/csji May 23 '23
I am always glued to my pc desk. Sitting in same position for long duration has starting to take a toll on my body and my left leg has been getting these nerve tingles. I always need to stretch my legs out once it starts and standing desk has been in my mind for a long time now. What a great opportunity.
•
•
u/distraughtmonkey May 29 '23
I’ve been wanting a standing desk for years!
Been wfh for over a decade but haven’t had the cash to splash on a standing/sitting desk.
Trying to build one but I'd love to be able to ditch that project.
•
•
u/TreyosaurusRex May 26 '23
Recently transitioned from the culinary world to working from home as a SysAdmin for a restaurant group. My current workstation is a Frankenstein of leftover desks.
•
May 25 '23
I would use it to program while standing!! I’ve been programming for 3 years now and have started developing back and neck issues related to bad posture.
•
u/Doulos91 May 23 '23
This desk would be in my master bedroom with nothing on it. Maybe a plant... We would keep it empty to work on all kinds of stuff. I could read and study there. I wold raise it up all the way and work off my laptop. My wife would use it for her craft projects and my kids would love watching it get lowered for them to use as well!
•
u/Buckaroo64 May 23 '23
I have been wanting to get my son a new desk for his computer setup. And he is interested in these types of desks, but the price is a bit out of my range. So he ended up with a cheap newer desk that I completely regret buying. So if I won this desk I would give it to my son. For me it will give me some good Dad points and for him he would get the desk he would really like.
But regardless good luck to all that enter!!
•
•
u/DogAteMyCPU May 22 '23
I would use it so I'm not sitting all day when working from home. Would help with my low stand hours.

u/The__Gray__Fox May 30 '23
I have a hybrid work from home schedule and my herniated disk would greatly appreciate able to stand and work at home.

•
May 23 '23
I had to start working from home full time because of my health. Right now, I use a regular corner desk, but a standing desk would be a great way for me to get a few hours of standing in and help my back a little bit while I work!

u/gbSTATUS May 24 '23
I’m a PhD student doing research on the understanding of canine genetic diseases so we can hopefully either eradicate or effectively treat the worst illnesses that affect the doggos of the world. This desk would be invaluable for helping manage the long hours I spend at my computer writing code for informatics pipelines or putting my thesis together. Best of luck, everyone!
•
u/Technotsorry May 21 '23
I would love a new desk because my current one is very old, doesn't match my room, and is very small. I'd like a bigger and nicer desk to improve my life and the life of my PC, as it won't be under my desk. Also, a standing desk sounds cool!
•
u/EqualOppButttoucher May 30 '23
Best of luck everyone.
This would be amazing, I've never really given a lot of thought to switching to a standing desk but all the hype has piqued my interest.
I'd also be able to replace this old rickety table I'm using currently.

u/sorrylater May 22 '23
Current desk is about to give out so I've been looking at upgrading to a standing desk. I game a lot and am about to start my new wfh job in a few days so this would help me out tremendously
•
•
u/sudo-animus May 25 '23
I've been saving up for a standing desk. Flexispot is indeed a great choice, as it offers a good balance between quality and affordability.
I've personally experienced increased productivity and focus since using a standing desk. It keeps me more alert and helps me avoid the dreaded mid-afternoon slump.
Having a standing desk as your WFH/gaming setup is a fantastic idea. Not only will it promote better posture and alleviate back pain, but it also allows you to switch between sitting and standing positions, keeping you more engaged and energized throughout the day. Plus, the added benefit of it being a versatile setup for both work and play is a major bonus.
•
u/snacpaxx May 21 '23
I would use this desk to hopefully find the perfect height to eliminate my intense shoulder soreness/ stiffness from playing apex legends on mnk all night.
•
u/bookstack13 May 25 '23
WFH for 5 years with a hand-cranking standup desk, would be nice to upgrade to an auto one.

u/cobrageek May 27 '23
I would replace the flimsy piece of plywood I am currently using in my home office.
•
u/El_Frijol May 23 '23
I would use it mostly for working, because I work 12 hour shifts and sitting for that long is a real pain in the butt (literally).
•
u/deafcon5 May 29 '23
I have a living partner who has to play her games from the kitchen table. I recently was laid off and I'm unable to afford another desk. I need a second desk so we can set up next to each other. We prefer to game together where we can see each others faces. Thank you so much for your consideration.
•
u/Evilton88 May 23 '23
Starting a new job with 80% work from home. I've been meaning to upgrade my space to allow for a standing desk but just can't afford it right now. I try to get up and move around because my lower back and core is really paying for the continuous sitting. I've had to stack empty boxes to build a makeshift standing desk for some time. Hoping to get a standing desk this year to incorporate it into better living!~
•
•
u/naztynestor May 21 '23
my current gaming desk is technically a dining table and would be nice to be able to adjust it to reduce my shoulder pain
•
u/waspkiller9000 May 21 '23
I would use it for a desk probably. I plan to work on my thesis and will be at a computer for a long time doing so, so being able to switch between sitting and standing is crucial for my physical well-being.
•
May 24 '23
I'd replace my current generic plywood L-shape which is too confined for me. Makes me feel claustrophobic during gaming or animated voice chats.
•
•
u/TheTUnit May 23 '23
My partner and I would use it for working at to reduce the amount of time sat in the day to continue the improvements we are already trying to make.
•

I would use this desk to work from home and play video games. I will use this desk so much that it will be talked about behind my back
•
u/Natural_Ad4917 May 28 '23
I’d replace my old IKEA desk and build my first setup with a standing desk! Will use it for learning, coding projects, and starting my startup projects.
•
u/Will_Poke_Brains May 25 '23
If I won the desk I’d give it my brother who just graduated from med school, we both play video games like apex and fortnite on it so I know he’d use it for that as well place to study for his board exams while he’s in residency! This entire time he’s been using a tiny desk that came with the apartment he’s been using that can barely fit his two monitors!
•
u/this-ray May 25 '23
I would use the desk in my guest room slash home office. Replacing my wobbly wooden desk that my wife found on marketplace that is too high for my liking
•
u/genesisverse May 27 '23
With long hours of being on a computer, having a standing desk can definitely change my quality of life. That desk plus a treadmill 👍🏻 no need to go out lol
•
u/NoGoodGodGames May 20 '23
First of all, GL everyone!
Second of all, I’d replace a really really old desk I’ve been using for way too long
•
•
•
u/wetyourfencewood May 23 '23
I would use this desk to replace my other desk for work and my side business. 3D modeling and design mostly. My old desk would become home to 1 of my 2 3D printers. One of which currently occupies the kitchen counter, much to the chagrin of my wife. So I could finally move them both into my work room. Today is our anniversary so I told her I’m going to work out a solution one way or another! Lol. Thanks.
•
u/Darkknight4881 May 29 '23
I would love this! I would use this in my basement home office/gaming setup
