Desktop space is a common request from gamers that work and game in one place, but if you're working with limited space or an awkward corner, expansion is not always easy. That's where an L-shaped desk comes in, such as this Flexispot E7L Pro, which I've found simple enough to set-up and stuff into a corner for a big upgrade.
The Flexispot E7L Pro is a motorised sit/stand desk, with three motorised legs capable of holding up to 150 kg, inclusive of whichever desktop you screw into it. That's the thing, you can buy a desktop from Flexispot for $90/£200, or you can bring your own to mount on the three-leg frame, which costs $550/£370. For that reason, the exact size of the desk is variable, but the frame is made to accommodate that, which will become clear in the build.
With the standard desktop from Flexispot, this review unit measures 180 cm in length, with the shorter part of the 'L' measuring 120 cm. The entire desktop is 60 cm deep. All together, it's plenty of space for a couple of monitors (with their own stands), keyboard, mouse, a laptop, drink, plant, and miscellaneous soldering gear I should probably tidy up.
The process of building the E7L was relatively easy. It arrives across three big boxes, including the Flexispot desktop, which is optional. Each box contains lots of cardboard to recycle and only a minor amount of spongy synthetic packaging, which is good to see.

Once unpacked, the next step is to assemble the frame. This requires slotting each of the three legs into the metal frame that runs beneath the desktop and bolting it firmly together. An allen key is provided though if you have your own, you'll look more like a pro. I employed the help of my partner to hold bits and help get it together, and while I'd say you could struggle
