How big does my office need to be to accommodate a bow-front desk setup?

The bow-front itself takes up 42–48” front-to-back at the center, so you need to plan your room with that footprint in mind, not the nominal 30” end depth. Add 60” of clear space in front for a chair and visitor access, and you’re looking at a total room depth of at least 10–12 feet for a comfortable executive setup with guest seating. A 12′ × 12′ room is a solid minimum for the full experience. FindOfficeFurniture.com has footprint diagrams for every bow-front model — call 888-719-4960 to plan your layout.
