What is a floating top on a U-shaped desk?

A floating top refers to a return or bridge surface that appears to "float" — suspended without visible support underneath, often by a wall-mounted bracket or a sleek single-leg support rather than a full pedestal base. This look is popular in contemporary and modern office designs where the visual lightness of the piece is important. Floating tops sacrifice some storage below but create a cleaner, more open aesthetic. FindOfficeFurniture.com has modern U-shaped desk styles — call 888-719-4960.
