Looking to replace my desk

Currently have a mix of the ikea tabletops and legs/cabinets as my desk. The desktops work fine but I am thinking I would like a standing desk, I want to to be L or U shaped and be able to hold 3-4 monitors. If it had built in power or some way for me to add power/usb power that would be cool too. Suggestions? I am thinking I will be hard pressed to find something that meets all these desires, so I might have to go custom?

Custom built or bespoke from a furniture place is always the best option.

If I was to go custom built, what would be the best sit/stand frame to go with considering I want L shaped?

Sit/stand is stupid, build one the right height yourself

Sit/stand is not stupid at all, I have it at work and love it. It is not something I am going to give up. If I am going to spend $100's or more on a desk then I would like it to be perfect.

From what I've experienced with sit/stand I've never found it offers much but some people swear by it. I don't know shit about it though so I can't help you

Just a word of advice, if you go down the prebuilt route and also the L-shaped route make sure you check which side of the table the L bit goes on. I made the mistake of buying a L-shaped table and not realising the bump could only be installed on one side, had to DIY it to get it on the right side.

I am looking to have the short side on my left both because of my office space and it is nicer than the right since I am left handed. I will watch out on pre-built one though, ty.
