What’s the smallest width that still makes a straight desk functional?

For a single-monitor computer workstation, 48” is the practical minimum — it fits a keyboard, mouse, monitor, and still leaves room to set things down. Narrower desks under 48” feel cramped for daily computer work. If your space is really tight, a 48” deep x 24” depth configuration is workable, but 60” is a much more comfortable starting point.
