What is the difference between an L-shaped and U-shaped cubicle?

An L-shaped cubicle provides a main work surface plus a return (90° extension), similar to an L-shaped desk. A U-shaped cubicle adds a credenza directly behind the user, creating a complete work environment on three sides. U-configurations provide the most storage and work surface but require a larger floor footprint — typically 8'×8' minimum. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we configure L and U cubicle workstations for any footprint — call 1-800-460-0858.
