Side by side

VIVO E155 vs FlexiSpot EN1 Standing Desk Compared: Despite being narrower, EN1 has 10.7% more surface thanks to its depth

Quick verdict

Choose E155 when you want more side-by-side room without a deep desk. Choose EN1 when the keyboard, monitor stand and paperwork need front-to-back space. Although EN1 is 7.1 inches narrower, its deeper top provides about 10.7% more nominal surface area.

Before you buy

Why, and what it costs you

More surface comes with the narrower EN1

Compared with the 55.1 by 23.6-inch E155, EN1's 48 by 30-inch top has about 10.7% more area.

Where this comes from

The arithmetic uses listed nominal rectangular dimensions. (48 × 30) / (55.1 × 23.6) - 1 = 10.7%.

The catch

VIVO E155 Electric Standing Desk 55x24

Front-to-back room is tighter with the 23.6-inch depth than with a 28 or 30-inch top.

The catch

FlexiSpot EN1 Standing Desk 48x30

Tall users get less from its upper height than from the three-stage desks.

In practice

Differences you will notice

More surface comes with the narrower EN1

Compared with the 55.1 by 23.6-inch E155, EN1's 48 by 30-inch top has about 10.7% more area.

How we worked this out

The arithmetic uses listed nominal rectangular dimensions. (48 × 30) / (55.1 × 23.6) - 1 = 10.7%.

EN1 is much deeper, and E155 is wider

Over EN1's width E155 gains 14.8%, yet over E155's depth EN1 gains 27.1%.

How we worked this out

Which matters more depends on the equipment layout. 55.1 / 48 - 1 = 14.8%. 30 / 23.6 - 1 = 27.1%.

EN1 is favored right away by a 52-inch opening

E155 is 3.1 inches too wide for an illustrative 52-inch wall opening, while EN1 leaves 4 inches across it.

How we worked this out

Operating and cable clearances still need separate allowance. 52 - 48 = 4. 55.1 - 52 = 3.1.

Plug in your numbers

Will the desk fit your space and your working heights?

Measure the space you have and the desktop height that feels right sitting and standing. The numbers below are placeholders until you enter yours.

Passes these checks

The 55.1 × 23.6-inch desktop fits your space with 4.9 inches of total width to spare. Its 28.3–46.4-inch range reaches both of your heights.

Check this one yourself

Check the exact complete-desk size or typing-surface height range yourself. We never treat frame height as desktop height.

This checks only the complete-desk height range and the outer desktop size. Leave extra room for a chair, cables and moving around. With a frame-only kit, add the desktop before you can check the final height. This is not a stability or ergonomics review.

Trade-offs

What each pick costs you

With VIVO E155 Electric Standing Desk 55x24

  • Its 154-pound published load limit falls below many larger desks, and the 28.3-inch minimum still has to be checked against your seated typing position.

With FlexiSpot EN1 Standing Desk 48x30

  • At standing height it moves more than the heavier UPLIFT, Vari and four-leg frames do.

Decision guide

How to decide

01

Find out whether width or depth is what you lack

When screens, a notebook and speakers sit next to one another, a wider top helps. When the monitor stand and keyboard fight over space, a deeper top helps. The EN1 has more total area, yet that does not automatically make it better for an arrangement needing more than 48 inches across.

02

Judge the front edge inside the room

A narrow room can benefit from the E155's shallower surface, even though it uses more wall width. With both backs placed equally, the EN1's front edge sits 6.4 inches farther out. Mark those positions and roll the chair out the way you normally do.

03

The controller is a secondary decision

Either desk can store a seated and a standing position for one user. EN1's fourth preset helps if you do use more positions, but it cannot make up for the wrong top shape. Once layout is checked, verify the real seated and standing range, and only then compare delivered prices.

Check these before you buy

  • Measure the combined footprint of your equipment both ways instead of shopping by width alone.
  • If your seated target is near the listed lower limit, confirm the finished worktop height of the EN1.

What this page can’t tell you

  • Nothing in the area calculation guarantees that a particular two-monitor arrangement fits.
  • The 22-pound rating difference does not point to a winner on quality, shake or service life.
