Tom’s Guide Verdict
I love this desk.
Its solid, attractive, easy to use, and versatile.
The L-shape means lots of real estate for computers, printers, accessories, and even writing space.
Its big and heavy, so once its in place youll probably want to keep it there.
But other than that, theres just about no drawbacks to this super cool desk.
The company also provides financing through Affirm at checkout.
Vari offers free shipping on the L-Shape Electric Standing Desk.
On top of that, you get a free 30-day return window and a lifetime warranty.
Unpacking it from the boxes took the most time.
After that, the instructions are very clear and easy to understand.
Youll want to ensure youve got plenty of floor space for the process.
All of the holes are pre-drilled, so you wont need to bust out any power tools for assembly.
The rest of the bolts are Allen heads, which are easy to screw in.
Vari includes hook-and-loop straps and cable guides to manage all the cables that run underneath.
Since this desk is very large and heavy, youll likely need a friend to help you position it.
Dont attempt to do it yourself; you risk hurting yourself and damaging the desk.
Once built, this is Varis largest work surface.
The desktop is wrapped in a 3D laminate, and there are five colors to choose from.
you could control the height of the desk by using the up and down buttons.
This gives you a range from 25 inches to 50.5 inches.
you could save four different desk heights.
There are several mounting locations for the control unit.
The desk is held up by three legs with wide feet to provide exceptional stability for this large desk.
They telescope as the motor raises and lowers the desk.
All of the electric controls, junctions, and cables run underneath the desk.
Once I found them, it took seconds to program those specific desk heights into the number keys.
Now I use them daily.
Its not loud, but its not a whisper either.
The desk is stable and solid, even in the very highest position.
It doesnt wobble or shake at all.
The L-Shape Electric Desk feels like its built like a tank.
If you think youll be moving this unit frequently, youll need friends to help you.
I dont imagine Ill be moving my desk, so this is a pretty minor issue for me.
I prefer the extra real estate I get for the weight and size.
I love having more space than perhaps I actually need.
My sample desk came with the Reclaimed Wood desktop finish.
It fits well with my rooms aesthetic, and it generally looks very nice.
It does not, however, look like real wood if youre looking closely.
It is, after all, a laminate.
The desktop looks and feels high-quality, and its ready for rugged use.
The lamp features various color temperatures and light levels, and it looks great on my desk.
The combination is comfortable, ergonomic, and attractive.
One more standout accessory is the ActiveMat ($95).
When youre standing, this mat becomes almost addictive.
I highly recommend the L-Shape Electric Standing Desk.
