L-Shape Adjustable Desk Recommendations? (piefed.social)

Hello friends! I hope your day is going well.

I am in the market for a new desk. I'd particularly like an L-shaped desk, one that adjusts between sitting and standing. I'm a tall fella and my posture sucks.

One brand I keep coming across is FlexiSpot, but there are red flags across their website: constant "sales," few negative reviews, and beyond their website, there are paid influencer reviews and unreliable reddit threads. Some seemingly reliable reviews I have found say the brand is actually quite good, and some videos show a fairly well-put-together desk. They also claim to have a 15-year warranty, but some negative reviews report to have trouble getting FlexiSpot's customer service on the phone or responding to emails.

Other than FlexiSpot, when I search for adjustable l-shaped desks, there is nothing but dropship crap. Does anyone have any good experiences with name-brand desks like this?

(This community seemed like a good catch all for this kind of ask. Sorry if this kind of post is unwanted here.)

I own and use a FlexiSpot L shaped desk (bamboo top). It's super sturdy and I love it. I can completely understand your hesitancy because I was wary as well. Took the risk anyways after also watching some videos and it worked out good regardless. I would recommend having a buddy help you out when setting it up since they're a bit heavy, but it you're well off fit it should be okay.
