What is a bow-front return on an L-shaped desk?

Bow-front returns address the ergonomic reaching problem inherent in standard straight-edge returns — the user must reach further to access items in the center of the return, which strains the shoulder and elbow over time. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we specify bow-front returns for any workstation where the return is used as a primary work surface rather than a secondary storage zone. The 4–6" of added reach reduction is measurably significant in 8-hour workday applications. Call 1-800-460-0858.
