What is an L-Shape Desk (L-Shaped Desk)?

L-Shaped desks are popular due to the extension of a standard rectangular desk shape to include either a left-hand or right-hand return. This desk shape provides extra desktop space for either computer use with a keyboard tray, or simply extended desk space for your documents and other desktop items.

Available Floor Space

The convenience of an L-desk is that is does not really take up more space than a standard double-pedestal desk in that the return is inclusive of the rectangular (or bow-shaped desk) width, and commonly extends back an equivalent distance to your chair space behind the desk. How this works is simply due to the fact the desk width can accommodate a return — a minimum or 60"W (five feet) is recommended, as 48"W (four feet) would not allow for a return, even in the absence of a deskfront pedestal, as your chair needs to fit under the desktop as well as allow for the return.

How Many Drawers?

Kneespace under a desk is important then, to allow for its proper use. Including desk drawers on either the desk or return is an allowable addition to provide storage to the desk, though others may prefer to have overdesk storage in either a closed-door hutch or open bookcase hutch, where available.

Just a little whimsy today. We're often just as confused as you when it comes to office furniture colors and finishes. One manufacturer's cherry is another's mahogany — and another's mahogany is someone's espresso…

Which led us to thinking about how many different kinds of coffee there are in the world and the myriad ways we here like our coffee.

Stumbling upon a cute chart of coffee styles we felt obliged to press on some of our favorites:

• Espresso

  Straight and to the point, no holds barred coffee distillation!

• Cafe Latte

  Espresso rendered mild with a volume of steamed milk and frothy topping



• Flat White

  Never heard it called this way but pretty much a latte without the frothy top.

• Cafe Mocha

  Chocolate and Coffee. ‘Nuff said!

Meanwhile we'll go back to debating whether that used file cabinet is putty or light gray.. come on in and choose your own quality heavy duty lateral file cabinets from Bear Office Furniture in Long Island, New York.
