I’m torn between a bow-front and a straight desk — what’s the real difference?

The core difference comes down to the shape of the front edge and what that means for your usable workspace. A straight desk gives you a consistent 30” depth across its full width. A bow-front curves outward at the center, adding 10–12” of extra depth in the middle while tapering back to 30” at the ends — that translates to 15–25% more actual working surface. The bow-front also tends to look more polished and executive in a professional setting. If you run dual monitors or regularly spread out large documents, the bow-front is almost always the better choice. Explore both at FindOfficeFurniture.com or call 888-719-4960.
