Measure both sides of the corner
Measure each wall from the corner to the first obstruction. Take readings at floor and desktop height. Include skirting, sockets, radiator pipes and any door that opens into the space. Mark the desk’s main run and return separately. A 120 × 80 cm L-shaped footprint gives the outside bounds. It does not tell you how deep each arm is or where the legs land.
Use tape on the floor to mark the intended chair position and the inside corner. Roll the chair in at the angle you normally use. Pull back, stand up and open the room door. In a room with 88 cm of clear wall on the return side, an 83.5 cm return leaves 4.5 cm before you allow for plugs, skirting or uneven walls. Check the actual position of the rear and outer edges before treating that as spare space.
VASAGLE LWD136WF01 for reversible shelving
The maple white VASAGLE has a listed 120 × 80 cm footprint and 76 cm height. Its shelving unit can be installed on the left or right. Check the assembly diagram for the orientation of the usable surfaces and the shelf positions on the exact version. This listing is the version without built-in power outlets.
For reversible shelving
VASAGLE LWD136WF01 corner desk
The compact L-shaped desk has a 120 × 80 cm footprint and shelving that can be installed on either side.
Confirm the return and shelf layout against the assembly diagram. Test the chair approach and usable depth at the corner.
- 120 × 80 cm footprint
- 76 cm overall height
- Left or right shelving
If a shelf will hold a tower or a printer, measure the item with plugs connected and the space it needs for ventilation. Put the keyboard where you will type and check whether the shelf or a frame member limits how far the chair can turn. The under-desk clearance guide gives the measurements to take.
HOMCOM 920-037BK for a cabinet and drawers
The black HOMCOM lists 117 × 83.5 cm in the L layout and 162 × 50 cm in the straight layout, both 76 cm high. Use the maker’s instructions for the chosen assembly. The cabinet, drawers and shelves can keep supplies close, and they also take up space beside the chair.
For integrated storage
HOMCOM 920-037BK corner desk
This black desk offers an L-shaped layout or a longer straight configuration, with drawers and a cabinet.
Allow room for the cabinet and open drawer. Check the maker’s assembly diagram for the layout you want.
- 117 × 83.5 cm L footprint
- 162 × 50 cm straight layout
- 76 cm listed height
Mark where the drawer front sits when it is open. You need room for the pull-out as well as a place to sit. Check the cabinet door against the skirting and the worktop at the angle you will approach from. If you mostly face one screen, put the deeper usable surface in front of the chair and use the return for equipment you reach less often.
Check delivery and assembly in the room
Read the assembly steps to see which side needs tool access. If there is little space around the corner, check whether you can turn the assembled desk into position without catching the door or radiator. Confirm the packed dimensions with the seller. Measure the route from the entrance to the room and leave enough space to lay out the long pieces.
If the main run is 120 cm and the return is 80 cm deep overall, mark the inside corner as well as the outer rectangle. Place the chair where you expect to type. Check whether its nearest castor or arm would meet the return when you turn towards the main screen. Repeat the outline in the alternative orientation if the assembly guide allows it.
Common questions
Which side is the return on?
Read the assembly diagram for the exact model. The listing photo may show only one permitted layout.
What does the overall L-shaped size include?
It normally describes the outside bounds. Check the width and depth of each section and where the legs sit.
Can I put a chair at the inside corner?
Trace the chair and measure the underside at that spot. Check for seams, rails and storage that affect access.
How much gap should I leave behind the desk?
Allow for the skirting, plugs, natural cable bend and any window or radiator access you need.
Can the HOMCOM be arranged straight?
The 920-037BK lists a 162 × 50 cm straight configuration. Follow the maker’s assembly instructions for that layout.
