Bow-Front Desks — Expert Answer

What is the return depth on a bow-front desk and why does it matter?

The return on a bow-front executive desk is typically 24"–30" deep — deeper than a standard straight return (20"–24") because executive suites use the return for a secondary monitor or reference documents at the credenza depth. A deeper return gives you more usable work space and allows a side-by-side credenza to align flush in height. Verify the return depth in the spec sheet, especially if you plan to place a second monitor on the return.
