Can I put a bow-front desk against a wall?

Placing a bow-front desk against a wall is physically possible but design-compromising. The bow-front's curved front is its defining feature and its functional advantage — it's designed to face visitors. Positioning it against a wall means the occupant faces the wall, surrendering the commanding sightline and client-facing geometry that makes the bow-front the right choice for executive environments. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we always advise clients to plan sufficient room to position the bow-front desk facing the door. For rooms too small for freestanding placement, a straight executive desk or L-desk may be a more appropriate choice than a bow-front compromised by wall placement.
