U-Shaped Desks — Expert Answer

What surface depth do I need on a U-shaped desk to use a monitor comfortably?

Monitor depth requirements are a primary factor in U-desk specification at OfficeFurniture2go.com. The main surface at 29–30" depth accommodates direct-mount monitors with full keyboard clearance. Returns at 24" depth are best paired with articulating monitor arms that can reach the optimal 22–28" viewing distance. OSHA and ergonomic guidelines specify viewing distance based on monitor size: 20–30" for 24", up to 36" for 32". We incorporate monitor arm specifications into every U-desk quote.
