Should a U-shaped desk face the door?

The most common orientation has the user seated at the main surface facing the room and door — return and bridge running along side and back walls. This "command position" orientation lets you see anyone entering and projects authority. Facing a wall makes sense only if intensive screen work is your primary task and visitor interaction is infrequent. Check for window glare on your primary monitors before finalizing orientation.
