I got something this right here is a
flexi spot sit-stand automated desk base
I'm making the desk top
this is a desk space let's unbox this
thing see what's in here but let me just
say first this thing must be very solid
because it is very heavy before we get
started I like cookies alright let's get
started unboxing this thing Wow look and
all of this stuff we're going to left
neatly package comes if these wellness
workspace solution
[Applause]
sorry I'm not going to completely bore
you with me building this all entire
time so let's just make it vlog seconds
of like 10 seconds to be building this
thing and then I'm going to show you
what in the world this thing is about
but before I get into putting it
together I would like to think flexi
spot because they actually sent me this
for free which is awesome they like
browse through my youtube channel I've
actually been to the market first hit
stand desk and they reached out just as
I was looking into them and they offered
to send me one for free
[Music]
look at that I'm not even telling
anything look it's going down all on its
own with it okay bring back up that was
just a test we'll bring it back up so I
set it at the very lowest it can be on
the preset and all you have to do is hit
the button and it takes all the way down
look I've only had regular old desks
that I never even got to pick out there
always hey me downs or I didn't have a
desk so this is amazing to me the fact
that we're able to just hit a button
it'll go to your proper preset sitting
condition or standing condition there's
three presets on this and don't worry
future force will be here in about a
minute or two in this video to show you
guys the finished product so this is
what you get out of the package after
you symbol it so basically of course you
have your legs yeah this you have this
ball right here besides all honesty I
was 100% sure that this was going to be
connected to one another I almost
thought that it was going to be
independent legs or maybe just a little
sliver to the middle so I was kind of
worried about the durability of the desk
house building but with this this is a
very sturdy Center that I can put it's
set 200 pounds on I'm sure they're just
under estimating to be safe but I'm very
confident to put my desk on here and
then put my computer or what-have-you on
top of my desk whether I put my actual
tower on top of it I'm not sure I want
to figure out a way to mount that under
but you guys will see that here to say I
just wanted to show you guys what you
get out of the package and here are the
brains essentially this talks to the
motors and the legs and this is plugged
in to the power so it's a power supply
to the power to each leg that's what
these are and then to our controls and
on our controls as you can see we have a
down up button we have a 1 2 & 3 preset
so you can set one at your sitting
position 2 and your standing position in
3 at I don't know maybe you have another
chair that you like to use like a stool
and it's kind of like in the middle they
also have the flexi spot company has in
products where it's essentially an
elliptical like you know one of the
stationary bikes I think that's almost I
don't think that's a little school but a
stationary bike that you would sit on
and you're just be essentially working
out while you work that's not my thing
but that may be your thing and that's
why a big reason why they have the third
preset sit-stand bicycle stationary bike
and then M is how you set those
basically what you do is you hit em and
then you hit one in order to set your
current height at one and then if you
want to set your standing height you
raise this all the way up to a place
that feels comfortable you hit em and
then you hit two and what this a is for
you hit the a and it will remind you it
starts a countdown timer
45 minutes after 45 minutes it will
remind you to stand again because a lot
of people say for every hour or for
every 45 minutes you're sitting you
should stand for 15 minutes so 15
minutes within a one-hour span you
should be standing for me I think I'm
going to be standing more than I'll be
sitting but I guess that depends if I'm
playing games or if I'm actually working
so I definitely update you guys later
down the road just to tell you how this
thing is but right now I'm really really
excited so let's go ahead and jump onto
Future Force where all of this is
essentially my desk so thanks for the
introduction Pat for us that is
very nice to you what a nice guy but he
did forget to ask you guys to subscribe
if you're watching this video all the
way until we're almost at the end of it
I think you either like me like my
content or something because I must be
doing something right
and I really wouldn't like it if you
guys subscribe
don't hit the subscribe button if you've
already hit it because I would
unsubscribe you but if you haven't yet
be sure subscribe friend just recommend
some content down in the comment section
for you to see I normally go over iOS
development stuff this I think is
important for iOS developers because
we're sitting at our desk
standing or sitting all day not standing
and we need something like this to
either remind us to take a walk every 45
minutes or remind us to stand every 45
minutes and we do need to be standing
instead of sitting for eight hours a day
you know we need to sit 30 minutes on
stand 30 minutes on sit 30 minutes
whatever process whatever little pattern
that you find works best for you that
keeps you active and on task you need to
figure it out for yourself but I do
recommend us standing a bit more than we
probably are and yes I know this does
sound like a bit of an ADD and to be
honest with you it kind of is if you
watch any type of review video it's
essentially an ad and this isn't even so
much of a review because I just got the
product it's a first look but I do
believe that the first look at this desk
that this is a product that every iOS
developer needs we need a sit stand desk
that works well and kind of add on to
that I am leaving an Amazon link to this
product it's bigger brother which is a
more sturdy it'll hold more weight
Sisseton desk as well as a sit stand
desk topper or a riser I'm not sure
exactly what it's called essentially if
you already have a desk I'm sure it's a
sitting desk you can put this on top of
it it'll hold your monitor kind of like
a monitor stand and where you put your
keyboard and mouse it work regular and
then if you rise it up it'll turn your
desk essentially into a standing desk
but I think it's kind of cool but I
needed a whole new desk all together
that's why I asked for this one and yes
I did get this sent to me for free I
already said that I just want to
reiterate but I'm not being paid
if this was a crap product I would tell
you that it's a crap product or I just
want to make a video on it altogether so
I'm telling you from what I can see from
this first look it is a good product
I'll update you guys down the road maybe
in a few months to tell you whether or
not this is as good as it seems right
out of the box and yes I have been
talking with now addressing the elephant
in the room and that is these two little
things sticking out this is part of the
arms of the desk where your desk your
tabletop is supposed to sit and I made
this tabletop you know put some boards
together glued them stained um maybe
look how I wanted them to look but I
only put three when I put it should have
put four if I would have before I had
all this covered up all this covered up
ignore this little wire right here and
it would have looked a whole lot better
but that's my fault I think I am going
to end up just adding on another board
to this I just don't know when because
I've already bolted this whole entire
thing to the desk I just needed I just
need a desk and it's working for me so
far what I'm going to do with this
actual setup it's not going to be my
laptop it's actually if we put that on
the ground because that's misleading
what it's actually going to be is I'm
going to have a monitor as you guys see
in the past videos I'm going to have my
computer tower and I don't know I'm not
going to hold it on the desk I kind of
want to figure out a way to hang it from
this cross beam down below that's kind
of making my whole desk dirty and I want
to have it hanging from there so I don't
have wires just hanging if it's on the
ground and they're just hanging there
and I love it if it was just off the
ground in order for the fans on the
bottom of it to run well because if it
so carpet they won't run too well
because it would be muffled by the
carpet so I'm going to do my best to
figure out a way maybe ratchet straps or
something to hang it from the bottom of
this cross beam but for now I'm just
going to put it on the ground because
right after I sign off of this video I'm
going to show you guys a cool little
edit just of my setup once I set it up
with my monitor my mouse my keyboard
which I still have yet to update and go
figure
and my computer tower so I think that'll
be pretty cool of course this isn't
going to be everyone's setup on this
channel because
most of y'all are iOS developers I'm an
iOS developer and I want to consolidate
my whole entire set up into one new
MacBook Pro but budget doesn't allow for
right now so I'm stuck with my PC my
desktop PC as well as my 2012 MacBook
and I stay stuck with because I love
them both it's just kind of would be
easier to have one thing and it'll also
be less distracted playing video games
on my desktop PC because I won't really
be gaming on a Mac but enough of that I
know pass for us actually talked about
the functionality of this desk the
up/down buttons self-explanatory there
are the one to three presets and then
the in button in order to set the preset
but I also want to talk about this Avon
I already addressed it but the a button
is a remind button that it starts a 45
minute timer and after 45 minutes and
lets you know you should stand so they
kind of recommend sit for 10 minutes
stand fifteen minutes I know I already
said I think I'm gonna be standing where
they're sitting
maybe I'm a figure out a pattern where I
sit when I'm playing around and then
what I'm actually working i stand
because a lot of people will have two
different desks or maybe they'll have an
office and they'll have a home office
where at one is kind of playing around
or light work and the other one is deep
into programming or deep into whatever
their work is and I kind of want to set
that for myself I I kind of had a method
to my madness before where on my desktop
I would have all my work and then I
would stay after work or go to a library
in order to do some of the coding or
some of my schoolwork and things of that
nature
but for now I really like this room I
really like this desk and the ability to
sits down so I'm going to figure out a
way to balance the two within this one
desk I'll keep you guys posted but
enough of me this is about the desk so
let me show you guys that and I hope you
