Corner Desks — Expert Answer
How do I buy a corner desk used or secondhand without getting burned?
While OfficeFurniture2go.com supplies new commercial furniture, we understand that used office furniture markets serve an important cost-reduction purpose. When evaluating used corner desks, the most reliable indicators of overall quality are drawer slide smoothness (ball-bearing slides that still operate quietly indicate the desk has been maintained well) and surface integrity at the highest-wear areas: front edge where wrists rest and the corner section center. Delamination at edges or the corner surface center indicates poor quality or water damage and should disqualify the piece. Hardware completeness is critical — missing proprietary connection hardware can make a corner desk impossible to reassemble properly. Request the original assembly documentation if possible.
