Corner Desks — Expert Answer
How does a corner desk compare to a U-shaped desk in terms of productivity?
The L-versus-U comparison is a frequent specification discussion at OfficeFurniture2go.com. The additional working surface of a U-configuration delivers meaningful productivity benefit for specific roles — executives managing multiple active projects, architects reviewing plans, analysts tracking multiple data streams — where the third surface creates genuine workflow advantage. For most professional roles, the L-configuration provides sufficient working area and a more space-efficient footprint. U-shapes typically require rooms of 12' × 12' minimum and can dominate smaller spaces. We specify U-configurations for managing partner offices, executive suites, and specialist roles with genuine multi-surface needs. For others, a well-configured L-desk with a matching lateral file cabinet provides equivalent function at lower cost and space impact. Call 1-800-460-0858.
