What’s the actual difference between a corner desk and an L-shaped desk?

People use these terms almost interchangeably, but there is a meaningful distinction. A corner desk is purpose-built to sit flush in a room’s corner, with the user positioned at the center point and both wings extending along the two walls. An L-shaped desk is a primary surface with a return attached at one end, which can be placed in a corner or positioned freely in a room. The L-desk is more flexible in placement; the corner desk maximizes efficiency specifically for corner use. In practice, most buyers looking to use a corner end up happy with either, but if you’re not in a corner, an L-desk gives you more options. FindOfficeFurniture.com carries both — call 888-719-4960.
