What exactly makes a bow-front desk different from other desks?

A bow-front desk gets its name from the curved, convex shape of its front edge — unlike a straight desk where the entire front is flat. The curve pushes the center of the desk forward by about 10–12”, creating noticeably more workspace in the middle without widening the overall desk footprint. A 72” bow-front and a 72” straight desk take up the same wall span, but the bow-front gives you significantly more usable center depth. That extra space is what makes bow-fronts the preferred choice for dual-monitor setups and executive offices.
