U-shaped desks give you usable space in the front and sides of you. They comprise a minimum of three pieces (a desk, bridge, and credenza), and may include a hutch and a small filing cabinet.
These desks keep everything within reach, making them ideal for multitaskers. They also provide enough room for monitors and office equipment without making the space appear cluttered. A few models come with at least one grommet to manage cords and cables. Also, the Realspace Broadstreet Executive includes a hub with a telephone jack, three AC outlets, and an Ethernet port.
If you need to store confidential documents, units with locking drawers like the Bush Studio C or the Sauder Heritage Hill will keep paperwork secure. Models that include a hutch such as the Mayline Sterling and the Bestar Ridgeley provide you with additional to sstorage room for books, supplies, and trinkets.
A keyboard tray is another convenient feature. These handy shelves slide out when you need to type on a computer and hide underneath the desk when you don't need them.
Most U-shaped desks are bulky, so you're going to need a lot of room. If you like the style but are short on space, consider a unit like the Walker Edison Command Center or the Realspace Broadstreet Executive that allows you flexibility in the arrangement. You may also consider a studio desk or wall mounted desk to suit your needs.
