What is the return on an executive desk and do I need to specify left or right?

The return is a secondary work surface that extends at a 90° angle from one end of the main desk, typically used for a computer or secondary monitor while the main surface handles documents or meetings. On a bow-front suite, the return bridges to the credenza to form the full U-shape workspace. You do need to specify orientation: LHR (left-hand return, longer wing to your left as you sit) or RHR (longer wing to your right). Getting the hand wrong means the suite won’t configure the way you intend and return/exchange logistics become complicated.
