A desk that has an additional ninety-degree tabletop space is called an L shaped desk. These desks get the name because they literally make an L shape, which are comprised of the main desk and the adjacent sectioned called a return. These desks are great for anyone who needs more workspace than a traditional rectangular desk. The return also allows for many options for additional desktop space such as extra computer monitors or storage. Along with the extra workspace, the L shape allows for added workspace and storage. Pedestal drawers that come with these desks have either two or three drawers for everything from pens to filing space.

L shaped desks are versatile to fit your needs. Firstly, an L shaped desk can be set up to have the return on either the left side or right. The orientation of the desk is sometimes reversible and chosen at the purchase. The distinct design allows for many placement options in a room. Whether propped in the corner of the room or against the wall in the middle of the room to create a greeting area for clients, the L shape is flexible to meet the demands of most spaces. To measure an L shaped desk for placement, measure the length of the main desk from long corner to long corner, and then measure the return in the same way. Measuring the width is as simple, just measure front to back of the desk.

These desks are great a great option for any type of office work. They are exceptionally great options for anyone who works on multiple projects at once as the desks have a natural separation with the main desk and return. This multitasking benefit is invaluable to someone who wears many hats within a company. L shaped desks are also great for computer gaming. Just as with work, the extra tabletop space allows for multiple monitors, as well as sound system setup, and charging ports for gaming. The versatility cannot be understated, it is a desk that will handle just about any situation whether its work or play.
