Furniture Tip of the Day: L-Shaped Desks or U-Shaped Stations?

Should your office go for L-shaped desks or U-shaped stations?

L-Shaped Desk

L-shaped desks are great for office corners. They've become more popular due to the ubiquitous computer. One side is for all of your computer tasks, while the other side is for everything else! L-shaped desks commonly have double pedestals.

U-Shaped Station

U-shaped stations take up more room than L-shaped desks, but they offer more desk space. Pushing two U-shaped stations against each other (with hutches providing privacy) is a good way of saving space.

L-shaped desks are best for offices with one to three occupants, while U-shaped stations are best for larger rooms without cubicles. Take advantage of display dividers to provide privacy for workers, and use machine stands for auxiliary devices such as printers and fax machines.
