How long should an L-shaped desk last?

A commercial-grade L-shaped desk with a steel frame and high-pressure laminate surface should last 10–15 years in a standard office environment. Entry-level residential-grade desks may show wear within 3–5 years of heavy use. The most common failure points are the corner connector joint, leveling glides, and surface edge banding.
