Two Opposing Reasons to use Corner Desks

There are not many pieces of furniture that two different people may purchase for completely opposite reasons. So, what is it about the corner desks that make them so versatile and user friendly?

We live in a college town, and just eight miles down the road is another college town with a larger University. For a couple of years we owned a used furniture and antique store. It seemed that people would regularly come in wanting corner furniture pieces: hutches, entertainment stands and, especially, corner desks. We rarely had them in stock. We were dependent upon buying directly from the public (whatever they brought in to sell), so we did not have a lot of control over used furniture inventory. But, if I could have only ordered one item of used furniture from a supplier in the same manner as I purchased new items, the piece  I would order would be corner desks.

I think that the main reason they were so hard to get a hold of used is because when people bought them, they would keep them longer than a regular style of desk. Corner desks are popular for many reasons. Though it is interesting to note that the two main reasons are opposite each other. They are: 1) corner desks can be a real space saver, and 2) corner desks can offer a lot more work area if you have the floor space.

First, people often do not have the room for a regular desk; they can take up quite a bit of area along a wall. A small corner desk with a hutch on top provides a lot of work space while using very little square footage.  There are shelves for books and paper, and cubby holes for computer programs, games, discs and other peripherals, and sometimes lower shelve for computer towers. The main surface area of a corner desk is deeper than a standard desk. This allows a computer monitor to be set back further or to be pushed back when more room is needed to work longhand.

The other type of common , I just wish I could have found more used ones when I owned a used funiture store!
