Corner Desks — Expert Answer

How does carpet vs. hardwood flooring affect a corner desk setup?

Flooring is a practical consideration in corner desk specification that clients sometimes overlook until installation. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we recommend: on hardwood or tile, verify the desk leveling glides are scratch-resistant or add felt pads; on carpet, assess pile depth before specifying a desk — thick carpet (over 1/2" pile) can affect the desk's leveling, and a 1/4"–1/2" adjustment range in the leveling glides may be insufficient. Chair mats are essential accessories for carpeted offices — without them, chair casters damage carpet and rolling resistance causes user fatigue. For clients installing on concrete subfloor (often in converted industrial spaces), additional vibration and cold considerations may apply. Call 1-800-460-0858 for installation environment guidance.
