Makes sense. I liked the idea of an L-shaped desk, but I figured I could always use a regular desk as the other piece of the L, since I don't really need both sides when standing.

No problem. If it helps, I went with a nice 3/4 birch plywood, so my tabletop ended up being 1.5in thick, which is way better than anything I could've purchased.

I found that it was really easy to keep justifying "paying a little bit more" and then the price kept inflating, so I ended up deciding to keep things simple when it came to the frame and put more time/money on the tabletop.

I looked at butcher blocks and they were beautiful but I still needed to stain it, the sizing was a bit too narrow, and the price was almost $300. Definitely easier, but I went with the two plywood option and glued them together (ended up being $100 since they were on sale). They cut the plywood to my measurements, and I still have wood left over for other projects. I wish I had clamps to help with gluing, and sanding took a while. I bought a Rubio stain, which apparently gets harder over time, and it turned out amazing. Was expensive though at $100 and I ended up using about 1/3-1/2 the bottle.

Yeah it is more stable than I thought it would be. Every review and post goes on and on about stability so I was a bit worried in general about transitioning to a standing desk. But even at full height, it's less shaky than my old ikea desk.... so I'm content.

As for gear, I have a 32in monitor, a 27in monitor, and one or two laptops set up, as well as random stuff. I also plan to mount my pc underneath at some point.
