Best L-Shaped Desks In 2022

Solid, functional, with added bookshelves and a handsome espresso laminate finish all at a damn fine price, this L-shaped desk from Ameriwood scoops our review’s Best Choice title. If you are looking for a space-saving as well as well-made desk for your home office, student dorm room or study without breaking the bank, then this could well be the corner desk beauty for you. Made from hardwearing laminate particle board and MDF, with a lux look espresso finish, as one of our best L-shaped desks, the Dakota corner desk will add some home-working pizazz to any room. It has an ample work surface area for your laptop, PC or gaming tech as well as all your other essential home office supplies and its under-desk space will fit a decent sized office chair with room to move. There are also grommet holes on the top to squirrel away cables and wires to keep your workspace ordered and neat. And we really like the practical addition of two bookshelves to the side so can keep your accounts, gaming manuals or magazines close to hand.

As a corner desk, the Dakota is not too large so should fit nicely into smaller apartments or corners of your home and its design and muted finish will work with most decors and interior styles. As well as espresso you can also choose the Dakota in white, walnut, black or dark cherry. The desk does require home self-assembly that needs a bit of fiddling time to put together. Also, the shelf section is not reversible so make sure its orientation will fit your room or home space. But for the less than $90 price-tag, you get a good quality office L-desk that comes in a good choice of colors and should fit all your core home-working needs.

And, as a three-piece unit, it can also be quickly swapped around to suit left or right handed gamers or PC users or to orientate to fit a specific corner or available space.

As a metal-framed desk, the GreenForest corner desk has a nice minimalist look and we are also impressed by its stability. The leg design and support mean there should be minimal shaking or movement as you get down to some serious computer work or game play. Whilst perhaps not possessing one of the biggest work surface areas in our best L-shaped desks review, there is still ample room for a large monitor as well as a laptop or smaller screen on the side. But if space is a premium, you could look at adding another GreenForestcorner desk to increase your work surface space and even create a cool u-shaped gaming zone!

If you like sleek and classy (and who doesn’t!) then this large L-shaped computer desk from Best Choice Products will boost your home working style credentials.

And with its professional office/home worker hybrid looks, it will soon easily make itself at home in any room. So, what do you actually get for the premium budget money?  Well, you get a smart black wooden top for starters, in a nice silk matt that is super easy to wipe down and keep clean. And the steel X-shape frame is reassuringly sturdy and makes the whole L-shaped computer desk look architectural and just a little bit dark edgy. Plus, you get a slide-out keyboard drawer that can accommodate most standard-sized keyboards. And the whole design gives you a sense of openness and space, so there’s plenty of room for all those monitors, game consoles and gadgets.

As an L-shaped desk with keyboard tray, Best Choice Product’s corner desk also works really well as a gaming station and there is plenty of space in the L-shape to move and swivel between several monitors to keep you in the thick of the video action. Plus, the tops are interchangeable so you can reconfigure to fit the orientation of the room or your own PC or game play.

The work top is made from a solid 8mm thick melamine that’s easy to wipe and keep clean and it comes in a warm oak color that will blend in with or complement your home décor. The edges of this large corner desk’s worktop are also beveled which is a really nice touch, especially for gamers looking for comfort in their hand and arm resting position during a long session of play. And keeping everything solidly in place is its thick steel frame, with a black epoxy coating to add to the corner desk’s overall smart look.

The worktop on Office Star Prado Complete L-Shaped Desk is also an impressive size – providing you with a 66-inch work surface to play with. Coming in a choice of matt black or a brilliant white, as a long corner desk the worksurface is made from a solid and practical laminate, with built-in cord management grommets to keep everything untangled, ordered and neat.

Mix up a solid wood quality worktop with sturdy metal legs, and you get a cleanly designed and impressively durable L-shaped computer desk from CrazyLynx. As a good choice for a gaming station or home office, this nice-looking corner computer desk also lends itself to a compact study area for the student dorm. The worktop surface area is large enough to accommodate two monitors as well as any extra gadgets, notepads, books or coffee cups you need to get on with your work or some serious game play. And its solid, rust-resistant metal frame and legs keep everything solid and stable as you work hard to complete the next level or get your end of year accounts done. With the CrazyLynxL-shaped desk you also get a monitor stand so you can fine-tune your screen height for optimum ergonomic comfort.

Foot bars at the back of the corner desk’s leg frame are located for easy and comfy reach and there are also adjustable leg pads, to keep the whole desk stable, even on uneven floor. The manufacturers do indicate that when it comes to assembly, putting this L-shaped workstation together is a two-man job but it does look like a relatively quick set up. And, if there are any problems, you can contact their 24-hour customer service and the desk also comes with a 12-month warranty.

If a too-obviously corporate desk in your home would clash with its décor or homely vibe, then you could always opt for this elegantly distressed L-shaped desk that gives a more casual and laid-back, even rustic feel. Made from ‘antique white’ wood (imaginatively described as ‘cape Cod Gray’) with a slightly distressed look and pewter handles, this is a lovely space-saving corner desk that would work well in most home studies or bedrooms, without being overtly ‘officey’. But don’t let the gentle country vibe fool you, this is a hardworking L-shaped workstation that is totally prepared to put in the hours. You get a nice built in cupboard with plenty of space and an adjustable shelf as well as a top box drawer to stash away all your office supplies. And the L-shaped worksurface is more than ample for your PC monitor, keyboard and other essential home working gadgets.

The main downside of its design and the built-in cupboard is that the corner computer desk’s orientation is set, so you need to ensure it will fit in the space you have planned for it, but it will work well in most corners. And the space under the main sitting area of the desk is nicely open and clear to fit you and your office chair comfortably. Despite its homely design, the Salinas L-shaped desk is surprisingly easy to assemble and also comes with a one-year warranty. This is very much an office corner desk for the home conscious who want their home working life to fit in with their domestic lifestyle rather than totally stand out.

Why not rock a totally modern look as you home-work or game play with this rather cool looking glass top L-shaped computer desk from lux furniture specialists, Mecor. The Mecor has everything you need from a day-to-day corner desk, but then ups it’s game in the style stakes with a clear glass top.  And, to tick the ‘health and safety’ box, the worktop is made from 7mm tempered glass to make a totally practical and durable office L-desk to work from. The quality steel frame also makes the whole set up sufficiently sturdy, although it does make the L-shaped desk heavier than it actually looks.

We really like the simplicity of this L-shaped workstation, as the three desk pieces fit together beautifully and the whole unit comes complete with an additional small glass shelf that fixes to the top frame which is ideal for books or a small printer. There is also a useful CPU power stand fixed to the legs underneath the central desk unit.  As an elegant addition to the home, this is a corner computer desk that would work well tucked away in the corner of a living room, or even taking central stage an open plan space or a modern home study.

A moveable mini-shelf, foot rests, CPU stand and a durable work surface made from recyclable material – this is a good-looking corner computer desk that comes with some nice additional touches. OK, this is perhaps not the largest table in our best L-shaped desks review but where it lacks in length, it certainly makes up for it in design and practicality. This would be a great corner desk for the student in your life, or to create your own home gaming station that could fit in a relatively small space. It looks good too, and with its walnut colored, wood effect worktop and black-coated steel X-frame, the GreenForest L-shaped computer desk would blend into most homes. There is a nice arc-sweep shape to the design and the recycled worktop is not just good for the environment, it is easy to wipe clean too.

At a push, there would be enough surface room for a monitor as well as a laptop or games console, although with the added top shelf you can quickly create more space to fill! The shelf can also be moved around and fixed to both sides of the L-shape for extra flexibility. We also like the idea that this shelf can be used to turn the L-shaped workstation into a standing desk, so you can take regular breaks and prevent unhealthy periods of prolonged sitting. And the long and short boards are interchangeable so you can reconfigure the ‘L’ to suit your room or working style. Add in a couple of foot rests and a handy CPU stand, and you have a cracking little corner desk that has a big heart! As a mid-priced corner computer desk, you really do get some good features for your money, making the GreenForest a worthy addition to our best L-shaped desks shortlist. Love this product?
