What should I consider when shopping for an L-shape corner desk?

Start with making sure you have enough space for an l-shape or corner desk configuration. You’ll need about 36 inches of space to walk around it, and 36 inches of space for your chair behind the desk. If you like to work from one side of the desk, keep depth in mind. To comfortably house monitors, keyboards, and other tech equipment, most workstations need a desk that’s 30 inches deep on the side you plan to work on. If you like to work from the corner of the l-shape desk, consider getting a radius corner, which maximizes space and makes it more comfortable for you by rounding out the corner where both sides meet.

Should a desk face the wall?

It certainly can but it doesn’t have to. This will depend on what your space allows and your preferences for what you want to face while you work.

Do corner or l-shape desks have to be placed in the corner of the room?

No. Although they work great in corners, they can also be used with one side against a wall, or completely free-standing if your space is big enough.

Does an l-shape desk have enough space for all my work?

In most cases, yes. An l-shape or corner desk will give you enough space for your tech, plus some extra room if you need to review paperwork. You can also get a bowfront or bullet shape if you plan to host small meetings in your office

What else should I consider adding to my l-shape or corner desk setup?

Once you’ve decided on an l-shape desk for your office, you can start looking at storage. Storage options, like hutches and pedestals, work with your desk to help you stay organized by keeping your most-reached-for items close by.
