Vari vs Flexispot – The showdown of Height adjustment ranges
In this showdown, we have to say Flexispot is a better option. Why?
Let’s break it down: With Vari, The “Basic” Essential model is designed for standard users, with a height range of 27.5″ to 47.2″. The “Pro” model is designed for tall users, with a height range of 25″ to 50.5″. But this brand does not have options for short users.
Flexispot, on the other hand, offers 4 different models to accommodate users of all heights. The basic EC1 frame has a height range of 28-47.6″. It’s not the best but it’s the cheapest frame in the market
The “C-frame” is designed for standard users with a height range of 23.6″ to 49.2″. The “T-frame” is designed for short users with a height range of 22.8″ to 48.4″. And the “high frame” is designed for tall users with a height range of 25.6″ to 52.4″. So, if you are looking for a standing desk that can accommodate users of all heights, no one is better than this brand.
Vari vs Flexispot – Price comparison
Vari and Flexispot are both very competitive. With the same base, the height adjustment range and the weight capacity of Flexispot are a little bit better than Vari, but not really too much.
Take a look at the table, you’ll see

The “Basic” Essential model from Vari starts at $199, while the “Pro” model starts at $695. Flexispot’s EC1 model starts at $159 but the “high frame” starts at $579. So, if you are looking for a standing desk on a budget for the basic model or a high-end product, Flexispot is still the better option.
With more sizes of table tops from 48×24″ to 80×30″, the Flexispot standing desks are great choices for standard users, freelancers, or even gamers. Vari maybe better luck for officers who have the 9 to 5 jobs only.
Vari vs Flexispot – Quality
When it comes to quality, we have to give the edge to Vari. Their desks are made from high-quality materials, like a T-Style Leg with Heavy-Duty Steel Feet for Extra Stability.
Take a look at the Flexispot’s base, all we know is that it’s made from “premium steel”. This isn’t really enough to make an informed decision when it comes to quality. More over, Vari has the UL962 Listed, UL Certified to BIFMA Standards, and GreenGuard and GreenGuard Gold Certified, which is a plus for their product.
So, if you are looking for a standing desk with the highest level of quality, Vari is the one you can actually trust
Vari vs Flexispot – Other Features
Both Vari and Flexispot offer some great features, but there are some key differences that you should be aware of before making your purchase. Vari’s desks come with a built-in keyboard tray, while Flexispot’s do not. However, Flexispot’s desks come with a built-in monitor mount, while Vari’s does not.
Any special features that you might need, like a cup holder or storage shelf, can be purchased separately.
Conclusion
When it comes to standing desks, Vari and Flexispot both have their strengths and weaknesses. Depending on your budget, needs, and preferences, one brand may be a better fit than the other.
Vari offers high-quality desks with built-in keyboard trays, but they are more expensive than Flexispot’s cheaper options. Flexispot offers great value for money, but their desks don’t have all the features of Vari’s models.
But for all people, we agree that Flexispot is really better product for newbies and true gamers. We won’t actually put the money to buy Vari if you are not really an office worker.
