Check the sub for Vernal reviews. I've got an executive (non-L) desk and love it. Their executive L desk may be what you're looking for.

Check out Vernal. They've got various cabinets that go with their desks. I've got a Vernal Executive with a matching tall side cabinet, myself. They do also make L shaped desks and have cabinets and drawers that are meant to be stored underneath or mounted under the desk surface. https://preview.redd.it/xuvrcznriq1f1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=8df9756cd44e5302d96d2f447229ec6baf76af3a

That's why I went with a Vernal Executive desk

I'd say at that price you're paying for mostly solid wood construction. That said, it does look very nice, but I would expect a privacy panel on the front for that. Might look at Vernal's Executive desks. I have one myself. They are laminate, so not nearly as expensive, but still look great and built very well.

Haven’t tried the Hulala one, but I’ve been using the Vernal executive standing desk for a while and really like it. They have both I and L shapes. I went with the L, fits nicely in my work and gives me plenty of space. It also has a front panel, which the Hulala doesn’t, and I actually prefer that look. Also really solid and stable, and the motor noise is pretty minimal. There are a few pricing options depending on the sizes, but the prices are much lower that hulala.

I am using the Vernal executive desk at home and switch sit and stand a lot throughout the day. I went with the dual motor and it’s been smooth and quiet.It feels more like a real office desk than just a tabletop on legs, and the look is pretty premium. I love it so much. It fits well with the style of my home.

I just got a Vernal Executive desk last month and really like it. I thought it was a little expensive but I really like it and it's been great so far.

Hi everyone, I wanted to leave a review for this standing desk since most of what I found before purchasing were influencer reviews. I was originally set on getting an Uplift L-shaped desk, but I ultimately went with Vernal because of the cost savings. That said, some of the reviews on this sub made me hesitant. I was worried about receiving a damaged tabletop or missing/broken parts, and I really didn’t want to deal with customer service or long delays just to get the desk working properly. I ordered the Vernal desk with white legs and a light walnut laminate top (71x59). A similar configuration from Uplift would have cost me over $2,000, since the closest matching color is considered a custom laminate. Because I was also buying other furniture at the time, saving the extra money made sense. The tabletop and frame arrived within three business days, which was much faster than I expected. The outer boxes had some minor damage, but everything inside was well-packed with styrofoam. I figured that if anything were damaged, it would’ve happened before packaging. During unboxing and assembly, I’m happy to say there was no damage and no missing parts. Assembly took about 2–3 hours with a friend, though we weren’t rushing. I also took photos throughout the delivery and setup process in case I needed documentation for a purchase protection claim (I paid with AmEx for that reason). So far, everything has been great. It’s my first standing desk and it’s only been a couple of weeks, but I can say there isn’t any wobble for me, I don’t think it’s loud when changing heights and the table top is nice and I hope it holds. I’m very happy with the desk so far and very relieved that I didn’t run into any of the issues others have mentioned regarding missing parts or customer support. I knew it was somewhat of a gamble to save the money, so I did what I could to protect myself just in case—but fortunately, it worked out. (I left some pictures for reference, please excuse the lack of aesthetics)

That’s the return side so from the leg it’s 60 inches to the wall. The seams are flush and the top in general looks good in person, I thought it would bother me being a 3-piece top.

Before purchasing I was mainly concerned with the return side being 60 inches - You can see I have a bigger mouse pad for FPS games. I actually think the size is good and doesn’t feel too narrow, I was originally going to go for a 70x70 but I didn’t want to take up that much space with the desk. On the main side it’s a 34inch ultra wide, middle is 27inch and then a 24 inch. Putting the 34 and the 27inch monitors on arms definitely helped with the table feeling less cramped

Totally get the frustration with your current setup. I ended up going with an L desk from Vernal and just having enough space made a huge difference. The main thing I pay attention to is stability since L desks can feel wobbly if they're not solid

I went for a Vernal desk - they do loads of different sizes, I went for an L-shaped one. I paid about £700 though.

I've found it great so far. The only thing I didn't enjoy was building it!

Don't underestimate how important stability is for standing desks, I tried a few and the only one I've been happy with was a Vernal desk that ended up costing a fortune (comparatively). Worth it though

Mine has been nothing but problematic. They've sent me three table tables before I got one that was good. But they never even provided the cable management trays, from the looks of it, they didn't send any to you either.
