Summary

A compact single-motor sit-stand desk with a built-in drawer, three USB charging ports and four height presets, sold as the FlexiSpot Comhar 48 x 24 with a wooden top. Check the height range and the foot-level crossbar before buying: it bottoms out around 28.3 inches and blocks under-desk footrests.

Strengths

  • The built-in drawer and three front-mounted USB ports are the most-praised features.
  • Anti-collision behaved well in testing, including a full coffee cup during travel.
  • The keypad gives four presets, a child lock and a digital height readout.
  • An owner of the 55-inch frame reports the standing position feels stable for a laptop setup.

Weaknesses

  • A steel crossbar runs between the legs near the floor and blocks under-desk footrests.
  • The roughly 2-inch desktop rules out monitor arms and keyboard trays, which FlexiSpot discloses itself.
  • The drawer is only 1.57 inches deep, too shallow for most mice.
  • Travel is about 19 inches, which excludes the shortest and tallest users.
  • Capacity of 99 to 110 lbs is tight for two monitors plus a tower.
  • Owners report shipping damage, missing parts and slow support on parts and returns.

Which model this is

This page covers FlexiSpot’s Comhar Standing Desk with Drawers in the 48 x 24 wooden-top form, page style EW8. The Amazon listing for the maple top is ASIN B0DKMJ819G. Do not confuse it with the Comhar Pro Q8 (dual motor, 3-stage legs, 55 x 28 bamboo), the glass-top Q3GW, or the Walmart variant with two canvas drawers.

Assembly and daily use

Once built, the single motor moves quietly, and Laptop Mag found it quieter than FlexiSpot’s EN1; TechRadar’s coffee-cup test passed without a spill. USB charging only starts after you touch a key, and it does not charge a laptop. The drawer suits notebooks, cables and a laptop but not a mouse.

Running costs and value

FlexiSpot’s own listings put the wooden-top Comhar at $259.99 against a $349.99 reference price (FlexiSpot, 2026). The same page values the Comhar Pro Q8 at $559.99 against a $699.99 list. FlexiSpot’s comparison blog priced the wooden top at $389.99 against a $499.99 list, and the 2022 hands-on tests saw $399 for wood and $454 for glass. WorkWhileWalking’s January 2023 snapshot put the wood top at $340 street; retailer widgets at the time showed Staples at $279.29, Office Depot at $449.99 and Newegg at $575.38. Casters cost $39.99 (FlexiSpot, 2022), and there is no first-party cable tray for this desk.

Reliability, support and warranty

The manual documents a duty cycle of 2 minutes on and 18 minutes off, a reset procedure for bottom-out faults, and four collision sensitivity levels. Owner-level repair is limited to those resets; no public parts catalog for the columns, motor or control box was found, and FlexiSpot sells replacement desktops. Owner reports on shipping and support are mixed: an r/StandingDesk owner found the bottom crossbar missing from the box in December 2023, and brand-level threads describe broken desktops, a motor that failed in under two weeks, and month-long refund fights.

Is it worth it?

Below about $280, the drawer and USB ports make the ergonomic compromises easy to live with for a laptop user. Around $280-360 it is fair; above $360 the case weakens against dual-motor desks that travel further and carry more, and at $449.99 to $575.38 the price no longer makes sense. Return the desk within the 30-day window if parts arrive missing or damaged.
