How should I position a U-shaped desk in terms of office layout and workflow?

Position the U-shaped desk so your primary monitor doesn't face a window directly (prevents glare). Facing the door is generally preferred in private offices so you see visitors entering. Allow at least 48" behind the desk for a chair to roll out comfortably. The open side of the U should face into the room — never place the desk so you'd need to squeeze into the U from a tight angle.
