Lisa Kaela Yu

New year, new you, new office space. It's time to get rid of that temporary desk, the hand-me-down that hurts your shins every time you sit down. It's time to trade in that uneven desk that’s missing a foot and invest in the desk you've always wanted. It's time to step up to an electric height-adjustable L-shaped desk.

Not only do corner desks help to maximize space, L-shaped desks also help to ramp-up productivity. Make the switch today to an L-shaped desk, and maximize your office and desktop real estate. 

Eight Advantages of Using L-Shaped Deck

1. Space Saver

L-Shaped Desk has lots of spaces for home worker

An L-desk maximizes the use of the space in the room by fitting perfectly in the corner, so you’ll have lots of room for other office furniture and decor. Whether you're a double-screen or triple-screen person, the extra tabletop space that the corner desk provides frees up surface space for other things like notebooks, sketch pads, or even your favourite furry office helper. 

For those of you sharing an office space, or you simply just need more space in the office, L-shape configurations are natural space delimiters, with the L-part defining the border of your territory. With the physical space organized, you'll be able to devote more thought to resolving other types of office chaos

Whether you're left-handed or right-handed, the L part of the desk provides excellent elbow support while you're using your mouse. Perfect for helping you fix bad sitting posture and achieve the optimal ergonomic position.

3. Everything's Within Arm's Reach

Large cluttered desk is too big for worker to reach their stuffs

There's no point in having a huge desk of the conventional variety if you cannot reach everything on it without straining your body – or having to walk around to the other side. With the L-shape, you have an ergonomic desk, with everything on its surface within arm’s reach.

4. Level Out with an L-Shaped Desk

We bet you've been struggling for ages with your printer balancing at the edge of another piece of furniture stacked on top of your desk. One of the benefits of an L-shaped desk is that there is enough space for your printer or anything else you might need. Your printer can be close enough to your laptop or PC, yet far away enough to be out of your way when you don't need it. Reduce eye strain by leveling out the gadgets on your desk. 

5. An L-Desk is Great for Gaming
