What is the standard depth of the returns on a U-shaped desk?

The standard return depth on a U-shaped desk is 24" — deep enough for a monitor or laptop without hanging over the edge, and shallow enough to maintain comfortable clearance when seated. Some returns offer 20" depth for tighter spaces or 30" depth for workstations requiring more surface depth (architectural drawings, dual monitors on arms).
