What is the difference between a 'shared' and 'individual' corner support on an L-shaped desk?

An individual corner leg or pedestal supports both the main surface and the return at the junction point as a single, separate support leg. A 'shared' or 'bridge' connection relies on the two panels being joined at the corner bracket with no dedicated center leg — the mechanical connection bears the load. Individual corner supports are generally more stable and preferred for heavier loads; shared corners can flex slightly over time if hardware loosens.
