How can I protect the surface of my L-shaped desk from wear and damage?

The most effective surface protection for a commercial laminate L-desk is a full-surface desk pad covering the primary wear zone — the 16-by-31-inch or larger area where your forearms and mouse rest constantly. For executive veneer-top desks, a custom-cut tempered glass top is a worthwhile investment that fully protects the wood finish while still showing the grain through. Avoid placing hot cups directly on the surface, and use coasters — heat is one of the few things that can permanently damage a quality laminate finish.
