What surface depth do I need on a U-shaped desk to comfortably use a monitor?

A 24" deep surface is the minimum for comfortable monitor use — that allows the monitor to sit 18"–24" from your eyes when the monitor is 3"–5" from the back of the surface. A 30" deep surface gives even better viewing distance and more room for a keyboard, mouse, and desk accessories without feeling crowded. Surfaces under 20" deep are too shallow for extended monitor-based work. FindOfficeFurniture.com has U-shaped desks with 24" and 30" deep surfaces — call 888-719-4960.
