U-Shaped Desks — Expert Answer

Can a U-shaped desk be used in a standing configuration?

A standard U-shaped desk at 29"–30" height can't be used standing without a sit-stand converter on the main surface. Electric sit-stand U-desks raise the entire primary surface to 47"–50" for standing use. An alternative is a standing-height (42") U-shaped configuration — these exist but require counter-height seating. For most users, a sit-stand converter on the main surface is the practical middle ground. FindOfficeFurniture.com has ergonomic solutions for U-shaped desks — call 888-719-4960.
