TechRadar Pro: FEZiBO Worland Standing Desk Review, Robust & Attractive

"A reversible L-frame standing desk that's as robust as it is attractive."

When it comes to standing desks, the Fezibo Worland isn’t just furniture—it’s a statement. Boasting a reversible L-frame for unmatched versatility, robust triple-leg motors for precise height adjustment, and a sleek design that complements any modern workspace, this desk is built to impress. While competitors scramble for budget-friendly features, the Worland stands tall with its emphasis on premium functionality, offering not just a workspace but an ergonomic upgrade for professionals.

Curious about its practical build, elegant finishes, or the quiet power behind its height adjustments? Read on for an in-depth look at why this desk is reshaping the way we think about productivity.

TechRadar Verdict: 4/5 Stars

The Fezibo Worland is as understated as it is elegant, with attractive tops and pared-back design. The soft drawers are a nice touch too. Where the Worland wins is its strong and reliable triple leg motors, which provide precise height control and a versatile range from minimum to maximum height. These legs can also be configured two ways – a reversible L-frame – meaning you can essentially position the desk anywhere. Cable management is rudimentary, the desktop's working depth is modest, and this is by no means a budget option, but it looks the part and is worth the investment.

Pros

+Can be configured two ways, to fit any corner

+Attractive finish

+Reliable and strong leg motors

+Precise height controller and versatile range

Cons

-Cable management could be better

-Lengthy build time

-Pricy

-Particle board material, not wood

-Just 24 inches / 60cm in depth

Fezibo is yet to feature heavily in our best standing desks list, but don't write the standing desk maker off; it has a superb range of premium-looking desks and accessories, such as the the Executive B, that are competitively priced albeit typically at a higher price point to budget options.

Enter the Worland: it's a reversible L-frame standing desk, available in various finishes, multiple sizes and in single or triple motor options. This review is of the 'Rustic Brown' 63 x 47.2 inches / 160x120cm triple-motor version.

Fezibo Worland: Unboxing and First Impressions

Two boxes securely hold and protect the Fezibo Worland parts, including those triple metal leg motors and robust tops, that when combined make for a very heavy setup.

On unwrapping, it's immediately clear that each part is well made, even if the tops are made from plastic board rather than solid wood, while the necessary tools are provided for the build; a simple spanner and hex key.

Clear your diary, the unboxing and build of the Fezibo Worland is a lengthy process, and for which you will need a second person for the final part given how heavy the triple-motor reversible L-frame standing desk is. I drafted my teenager in for support, who also enjoyed helping with the straightforward project, and he was indeed able to be helpful.

The build happens upside down from top to bottom, as in you begin with the slimmer raised tops face down on the floor – the part of the desk that is designed to hold items such as a monitor. You add the sides that support the raised tops and then you start attaching the main surface, at which point you ideally need to improvise to prop up those larger (and heavy) main surfaces to avoid them tipping, ensure they are level, and therefore the screws go in straight.

Instructions are clear and easy to follow throughout, though there's crucial point in the build where you determine the orientation of the L-frame; an L or a reverse L so to speak. You therefore need to know ahead of time where the desk is going to live.

Figuring out my desired orientation for the build (a reverse L) was simple enough when piecing the three top pieces together, however I found it a head scratcher figuring this part out for the metal legs – I messed up and had to redo a small part of the project once I had figured out my mistake.

Specs

Desktop: 63 x 47.2 inches / 160 x 120cm (also available in 63 x 55.1 inches / 160 x 140cm)

Height range: 28 - 47.6 inches / 71 - 121cm (without wheels)

Lifting Capacity: 308lbs / 140kg (for the triple motor version, or 180lbs / 80kg for the single motor version)

Leg shape: T-shape

It also wasn't immediately clear in the instructions that the clear plastic tubes provided were in fact handy guides for dropping screws into the inside of the metal legs. Without these tubes, it's a near impossible task to feed the screws through the inside of the legs by hand and line them up with the holes on the other side for attaching the legs to the desktop.

With the metal frame / legs assembled and on the desktop, the controller needs to be attached and connected – easier done with the desk still upside down. Personally, I think the Worland's cable management is a tad rudimentary; the power supply is attached to the desk's underside with an adhesive pad, while it's tricky to fully hide the cables from the controller along the length of the desk with the cable fasteners supplied (see below).

Also, as elegant as the desk appears itself, the trailing cables down to your wall plug, which also includes the cables of your devices such as monitors and laptops, somewhat spoil the look.

Still, I didn't have one of the optional accessories which could hide those cables, such as an underdesk filing cabinet (from £69.99), of which there are options to match the desk's aesthetic and are worth looking into.

There's also an optional cord management accessory (£19.99) that looks like it would do a much better job of organizing the cables than relying on the supplied fasteners, but I didn't have that for the review. It's a shame the cord management accessory doesn't come supplied with the Worland, or indeed a power strip for your devices which would reduce the number of trailing cables to the wall supply.

Rival standing desk brand Flexispot includes a magnetic sheath in models like the E7 Pro, designed to hold the cables between the two central metal struts of the frame. That same desk also includes a power strip and the result is a much tidier looking setup. This cable management solution by Flexispot helps keep those essential wires tucked away.

If you don't mind forking out extra for the Worland's cord management and / or filing cabinet accessories, and you're industrious enough to pick up your own power strip and figure out a way of attaching it to the underside of the Worland, then you too can have a slicker-looking setup. It's just a shame that these are all extra steps.

With the entire desk assembled, you ideally need a second pair of hands to flip it over and to move it into position. There are wheels supplied for the legs to ease moving the desk around, but given I knew where I wanted to position the desk, I opted against adding these wheeled feet.

As for the fabric drawers, they simply need the firm base inserted in order to maintain their shape, and they slot in snuggly and securely.

Fezibo Worland: Design and Build Quality

As far as the best office desks go, Worland sure is one of the more attractive. It's sleek and understated, with tucked away drawer storage under the raised tops. Then there's the nice little details like the under desk hanger for items like headphones (see below).

It also comes in a variety of finishes that includes Rustic Brown, Black Walnut, Light Walnut, Oak, White and Black to cover any kind of decor. I gravitated to Rustic Brown – a classic look.

I asked Fezibo what material the Worland desktop is made from because it's not listed on the site, and was told that it's particle board. Before you get disappointed, given the higher-than-average price for a desktop that isn't made from 'proper' wood, it's an extremely durable material.

I had the smaller of the two triple-motor stand options that measures 160x120cm. There's also a 190x160cm option, or a 160x140cm single-motor option.

The T-shape legs proved to provide deep enough clearance that my legs never once bumped into them.

Fezibo Worland: In use

The triple-motor option has a generous 308lbs / 140kg payload, which drop to 180lbs / 80kg for the (slightly cheaper) single-motor option.

That payload of the triple-motor version would easily be enough to support me sitting on the desk, not that I'm in that habit, and certainly enough for the super-large curved 32:9 aspect monitor (pictured), laptop and various bits that made up my office setup during this test. I'd have no qualms adding additional monitors, a printer and so on, given the desk's payload.

I opted to position my wide monitor in the desk's corner and tuck myself in when seated, with quick reach to my left and right and for a comfortable working position. However, the long 160mm side of the L-shape desktop would also be sufficient to fit the display.

The controller features manual up / down keys, plus three presets and a button to save those presets, while the height adjustment range is 28 - 47.6 inches / 71 - 121cm (without wheels).

After using the desk for several months, I largely stuck to two settings; one for sitting and one for standing. However, I can see the use in a third preset for homes with multiple users with different standing heights.

Switching between sitting and standing is as simple as the press of a button, and the motors proved to be quiet when in action.

The lowest possible setting is roughly equivalent to a standard fixed desk height, which for someone like me who's 6ft 1in can feel a fraction low and not great for posture over a full day sitting at a desk.

What surprised me as a previously infrequent standing desk user, therefore, is how useful the option is to tweak that lowest height up by an inch or two to improve my posture when seated – standing desks aren't just about standing.

With the Worland, I can have my office chair to the height I wish for a comfortable position for my legs, and then tweak the height of the desk so my back is straight.

For my height, around 43 inches / 110cm proved a suitable desk height for standing. There's an additional 4.5 inches / 11cm to work with on top of that, and so even the exceptionally tall are catered for here.

As for the desktop size, it is generously wide, albeit a fraction shallow. The total depth including the raised tops is 24 inches / 60cm, but the working space is 14.2 inches / 36cm, which proved a bit of a squeeze for my 16-inch MacBook Pro M1.

That shallow working distance also meant my curved monitor was a little close for me liking. My solution? Positioning the monitor in the corner of the desk.

I've been using the Worland for more than three months and have no doubt that it'll last many years. It's a superb-quality desk.

Fezibo Worland: Final verdict

Rudimentary cable management aside (which can be dealt with through extra accessories or industrious solutions), the FEZiBO Worland is a stellar standing desk, with a versatile reversible L-frame. The desktop might be made from particle board, but it's available in a range of attractive finishes and crucially, is robust. The same can be said for the powerful and quiet leg motors which can support a heavy payload, while offering precise and versatile height adjustment. I love the raised top that provides additional height for a monitor (and extra clearance above a laptop), plus the generous surface area with its elegant look with slick drawer storage, although the desk could do with additional depth for a better working distance from a monitor. It might take a while to build, but the Worland is a dream focal point for any office space and comes highly recommended.
