Figure 1: L Shaped Standing Desk
A L-shaped standing desk, also known as, a curved corner standing desk is mainly used in offices. An L-shaped standing desk sits in any corner of the room where you have enough space and allows you to perform multitasking more efficiently. For large office workstations, the L shaped standing desk is suitable and provides more working space than a dual motor standing desk.

Basically, an L shaped standing desk is a large version of a standard height adjustable desk. L shaped standing desks are made for corners and they are also known as corner standing desks. L shaped standing desks offer the same ergonomic features as any other standing desk but with more desk space. They are designed for large office setups where you need more space on the desk for equipment. The shape of L shaped standing desks makes it possible for you to utilize the free space at corners.
Unlike the standard dual motor standing desk, the L shaped standing desks are powered by high quality Triple motors. These motors make really low noise and they are controlled by a large controller box. Due to the extra amount of motors, the L shaped standing desks require a more advanced controller box that can simultaneously operate all three motors. Because the controller box is more complicated than the standard dual motor standing desk, it consumes a bit more power as well.
The L shaped standing desk can also hold a max load of 152kgs which is 50kgs more
What Is a Dual Motor Standing Desk?

The dual motor standing desk is widely popular for ergonomics and height adjustable features. Around the globe, the dual motor standing desk is used in offices and industries. Highly beneficial for desk workers. It comes with the same high quality motors as in L shaped standing desks. As compared to the L shaped standing desk, the dual motor standing desk is small in size but still due to the powerful electric motors, it performs very well under the max load of 100kgs.
The dual motor standing desk consumes less power as compared to the L shaped standing desk, because of less number of electric motors and a smaller control box.
Both desks are made with A-Grade Quality material and both desks are highly certified for consumers.
Cost: L Shaped Standing Desk Vs Dual Motor Standing Desk
The L-shaped standing desk cost more than the dual motor standing desk. The average retail of an L-shaped standing desk starts from $1300 and goes up to $2000 for a good tier desk. While on the other hand, the dual motor standing desk would cost you around, starting from the smallest size – $500 to $1000.
The reason behind L shaped standing desks being expensive is the size and the electric motors. The L shaped standing desk uses a set of triple high quality low noise electric motors. These motors are the same as used in a dual-motor standing desk.
The rest of the desk shares the same quality DNA as a dual-motor standing desk. Whether you choose a dual motor standing desk or the L-shaped standing desk, the quality of Trandesk products will remain the same.
Warranty: L Shaped Standing Desk Vs Dual Motor Standing Desk
Both the L shaped standing desk and the Dual motor standing desk come with 5 years of international warranty from Trandesk.
Trandesk provides 5 Years of warranty for consumers on all of their standing desk products.
Things You Should Consider Before Making A Purchase
If you are a music producer or you have multiple computer setups and you are looking for an ergonomic standing desk that can hold all of your equipment, then the L shaped standing desk is the best option for you. The L shaped standing desk comes with a slightly more expensive price tag than the standard dual motor standing desk but for the extra space and extra benefits, it’s totally worth it.
But if you have a regular office setup that doesn’t include extra equipment and machines, then the dual motor standing desk will be a better option for you. It will save you a couple of hundred dollars and will be a better option if you have a small area for the desk. Dual motor standing desk would also be a better option for office furniture at home.
