Another feature of this desk that I really enjoyed in our space is the ability to dial in a precise height, and set profiles. As the office is shared and my wife is a bit shorter than I am, it’s been great being able to push a button and have the desk automagically raise to where I need it – and likewise for her. I’m not running monitor arms on this setup, and while the flat corner shape in the back would be fine for a cable pass through, I am skeptical if I’d be able to keep the desk flat against the wall with an articulating monitor arm system attached. Given the size and weight of the desk, moving it around to install arms wouldn’t be a fun use of an afternoon, so this may be something worth considering depending on your setup. What I like about the Vari L-Shape Corner Electric Standing Desk • Wonderful aesthetics and robust build quality. • Ability to program height adjustments. • Ergonomics. What needs to be improved? • Leg motors are not user-serviceable, or replaceable without disassembling the desk. • Pre-drilled cable management cutouts with grommets could be a nice option for a desk meant to be against a wall. • Not a ton of space in the back corner for monitor arms. Final thoughts If you’re looking for more surface space in a standing desk, no doubt that Vari has a great option here in their L-Shape Corner Electric Standing desk. While the price is high, the build quality combined with the lifetime warranty make this a desk that you can expect to have for a while. I would prefer to see a more repair-friendly system in the leg motors, but otherwise am generally without complaint.
