Best L-Shaped Desks

Published , updated

An L-shaped top wraps around a corner and splits your space into two work zones, one for screens and one for writing or a second setup. These are the highest Ergo Score L-shaped desks in our catalog.

88 desks in our catalog have an L-shaped top, averaging $328.07 and a 41 Ergo Score. Most of them are fixed-height corner desks, which is why all three picks below are the ones that also stand.

Top Picks

Top Pick

  • Both sides of this VIVO corner desk run 71 by 71 inches, so your monitors can live on one wing while the other stays clear for writing or a laptop.
  • Three motors lift the whole corner from 29.3 to 48.1 inches, and four memory presets save your sitting and standing heights.
  • Anti-collision sensing stops the lift if it meets an obstacle such as a chair arm or windowsill, a real safeguard on a desk this large; it was $649.99 when we checked.

Runner-up

  • At $159.99, discounted from $179.99, it gets you an electric L-shaped standing desk for roughly a quarter of the Top Pick's price.
  • The 55.2 by 31.5 inch top comes with a keyboard tray, three power outlets and two USB ports built in.
  • Its lift runs from 28.4 to 47.2 inches with three memory presets; at a 154 lb rating, keep heavy monitor arms in check.

Best Value

  • The lowest price of the three picks: $139.99, discounted from $159.99 when we checked.
  • It shares the Runner-up's electric range of 28.4 to 47.2 inches and its three memory presets.
  • What you give up: no keyboard tray or built-in power, and the listing doesn't state the desktop size, so measure your corner against the product photos before ordering.

FAQ

How many L-shaped desks does ErgoDesk compare?

88 desks in our catalog have an L-shaped top, averaging $328.07 and a 41 Ergo Score. Fixed-height corner desks make up most of the group and pull that average down; the height-adjustable ones score far higher.

Which L-shaped desk scores highest?

Our Top Pick, the VIVO corner standing desk, earns an Ergo Score of 94 out of 100.

How do I measure my room for an L-shaped desk?

Measure both walls of the corner where the desk will go and compare each one to the length of the matching side of the desk. Then leave room behind you for your chair to roll back, and check which side the longer return sits on, since some models can be set up either way and some can't.
