What is a hutch on a U-shaped desk and should I get one?

A hutch is an overhead cabinet unit that mounts above the main surface or credenza bridge, adding 30"–42" of vertical storage space with open shelves, closed cabinets, and often a letter slot or tack board. Hutches maximize storage without increasing the desk's floor footprint. They're worth adding if you reference a lot of books, binders, or supplies throughout the day.
