EN1 Comhar (48 × 24 in, single motor) review 2027
A compact all-in-one desk with a drawer and a USB charging port, for a corner of a bedroom rather than a dedicated office
Is the EN1 Comhar Worth It?
Best small standing desk. For a laptop and one monitor in a small room, the EN1 does the job and takes up very little space. The wobble is the price of a single motor and a narrow frame.
EN1 Comhar Pros & Cons
- Arrives almost fully built; 18 minutes to working
- Built-in drawer and USB-A and USB-C charging in the top
- 48 × 24 in fits where a full desk will not
- $259 complete with the top
- 8 mm of sway — your monitor visibly moves as you type
- Single motor, 110 lb capacity, and 50 dB
- Not available in larger sizes
What problem does the FlexiSpot EN1 Comhar solve?
The EN1 Comhar is a compact all-in-one desk with a drawer and a USB charging port, for a corner of a bedroom rather than a dedicated office. The top includes a built-in drawer plus USB-A and USB-C charging, and the whole thing costs $259 complete with the top. For a laptop and one monitor in a small room, it does the job and takes up very little space. The trade-off is stated plainly in our verdict: the wobble is the price of a single motor and a narrow frame.
How did we score the EN1 Comhar?
Stability at height is worth 30 points and the EN1 earned 20. We measured wobble with a dial gauge at full standing height with 40 lb loaded, plus a keyboard-typing shake test — the single thing cheap desks get wrong. The lift mechanism is worth 20 points and earned 14, covering motor count, speed, noise measured at one metre, weight capacity, travel range and presets. Desktop and build is worth 20 and earned 14, covering surface material and finish, edge quality, frame welds, cable management and how the parts fitted. Assembly and warranty is worth 15 and earned 12, covering time to build with two people, instruction quality, and the warranty on the frame and the motor. Value is worth 15 and earned 14, judged on price for the size and stability delivered. That adds up to the 7.4 overall score.
Where the EN1 Comhar stands out
Assembly is the headline strength. The desk arrives almost fully built and took 18 minutes to working in our test, the second-quickest build in this group. The built-in drawer and USB-A and USB-C charging in the top mean a laptop and phone can live on the desk without a separate hub or a drawer unit beside it. And it is $259 complete with the top, so there is no separate top to buy and no assembly marathon before the first standing session.
Parts, specs and build quality
The frame uses a single motor with a 110 lb weight capacity and a height range of 28.3–47.6 in. Noise measured 50 dB at one metre, the loudest figure in this comparison. There are four memory presets. The warranty is 5 years on the frame and 2 years on the motor. Our build took 18 minutes with two people. Wobble at full height measured 8 mm with 40 lb loaded — the highest figure here, and the reason the stability criterion gave up 10 of its 30 points.
How it compares with the desks we tested alongside it
The Jarvis Bamboo scored 8.7 at $729 with dual motors, a 350 lb capacity, a 25.5–51 in range, 3 mm of wobble, 42 dB, four presets, a 12-year frame and top warranty, and a 42-minute build. It is quieter, far more stable and carries more than three times the load, at roughly three times the price. The E7 Pro scored 8.5 at $399 with dual motors, 355 lb capacity, a 22.8–48.4 in range, 4 mm of wobble, 47 dB, four presets, a 15-year frame and 5-year motor warranty, and a 30-minute build. The Standing Desk scored 8.3 at $549 with dual motors, 275 lb capacity, a 25–50.5 in range, 5 mm of wobble, 46 dB, three presets, a 10-year warranty and a 25-minute build. The Electric Standing Desk scored 8.3 at $795 with dual motors, 200 lb capacity, a 25.5–50.5 in range, 5 mm of wobble, 45 dB, four presets, a 5-year warranty and a 9-minute build — the only desk here you can genuinely set up alone, and the fastest by a wide margin.

Where the EN1 Comhar falls short
Stability is where it lost. The 8 mm of sway means your monitor visibly moves as you type. The single motor, 110 lb capacity and 50 dB noise are the mechanical reasons behind that, and the desk is not available in larger sizes, so there is no upgrade path within the line if you later add a second monitor or a heavier setup.
Is the EN1 Comhar good value at $259?
Value scored 14 out of 15, the strongest criterion in its breakdown. At $259 complete with the top, it undercuts every desk in this comparison by a wide margin while still including a drawer, USB-A and USB-C charging, and four memory presets. The money saved buys a smaller, less stable desk with a single motor — a fair trade only if the size and the price are the deciding factors.
Who should buy the FlexiSpot EN1 Comhar?
Small rooms and light setups. If you need stability at full height, a heavier load or a larger surface, the wobble and the 110 lb capacity will send you to a dual-motor desk instead.
