How long should a good L-shaped desk hold up in an office?

A commercial-grade L-desk with a steel frame and high-pressure laminate surface should hold up for 10–15 years in normal office use. Entry-level residential-grade desks start showing wear within 3–5 years. The most common failure points are the corner connector joint, the leveling glides, and the surface edge banding.
