How much does a U-shaped desk weigh compared to an L-shaped desk?

The weight of a fully configured commercial U-desk — main desk, credenza bridge, dual pedestals, and hutch — typically falls in the 350–550 lb range. In older buildings with suspended wood floor systems, this concentrated load in a single office can be a structural consideration. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we advise clients to confirm floor load capacity (typically 40–50 psf live load minimum) with their building engineer before placing large executive furniture orders.
