Corner Computer Desks

By Ray Lam


If you?re setting up a small office and you need to save room, or if you?d like to make a space in your house that will function as a home office or just a place to keep your home computer, then you might want to consider buying a corner computer desk. Corner desks are great because they save room by using an L-shape that maximizes the desktop space that you can use. Also, since it goes in the corner, a space that will feel out of the way and thus mostly unusable for many pieces of furniture, it occupies an area that would otherwise go unused.

Corner computer desks are provided with a number of options such as additional space for accessories, modular designing, and various materials, such as wood, glass, metal and fiber. They are particularly ideal for home offices because little extra space is needed for the computer workstation. People working at corner computer desks enjoy privacy.

Corner computer desks are also designed ergonomically to minimize body strain. They may include trays for holding various accessories, as well as adjustable monitor and keyboard holders with varying mounting heights. Electrical, phone and data connections may also be discreetly placed to provide a more sleek look. Corner computer desks can be adjusted for proper height, mobility and fold-ability, and they may also double as a bookcase or table for added versatility.

Corner computer desks are available in a wide variety of styles and finishes. With a little searching, you can find them in select hardwoods and even in faux finishes to appear as select hardwoods. One model I noticed appeared to be a corner hutch until you opened the cabinet to see the monitor and pulled out the keyboard tray to type. Others have a minimalist style that just utilizes that underused area of your office in an efficient manner. The choices are endless.

Corner computer desks can be incredibly functional items for your office, but you need to know their limitations before you invest in one. Make sure the desk you buy will fit in with the rest of your office. If your major concern is space, then you couldn't pick a better desk than the corner desk. If, however, you're more concerned about having a good view or being able to address people in meetings, then you might want to consider having a desk that doesn't sit against any walls, let alone the corner of two walls.
