Corner desks, how hard can it be?

[Devrij]

I currently have a 180x80cm desk, which is a nice size, but with 2x 27in displays there isn't much room for other peripherals (VR headset, HOTAS etc) to sit. So I thought "man imagine if I could put two of these together in an L shape, but instead of a corner, there was a curve edge in the middle so I'd have loads of depth to put my monitors further back, and I'd have all this extra space at the sides!".

Can I find anything like that? No. They are all either 50cm deep at the sides, asymmetrical, or otherwise trying way to hard to be something more than just a flat surface.

If anyone can help me find something like this, I will be immensely grateful

This any good?

That is PRECISELY what I'm after. Bloody expensive for what it is, mind, but good to know I have an option. Cable management holes on the three corners too .

I'm not really concerned by the arm rests issue @R.C.Anderson mentioned as mine are adjustable and I have them below the height of the desk so I can scooch in anyway.

Primarily, gaming is the focus, and I'm considering going ultrawide (in the corner) so then I could tack my existing monitors as secondaries on either side and still have plenty of room. One day I'll mount them on an arm, as it really does make a difference, but for now they're on their bases. I have a little side unit that would fit under that Avalon desk, so there's my extra storage sorted.

Bosh! Thanks gents. Just gotta find a bargain somehow

@Devrij did you order one in the end? I'm after one with similar dimensions however I'd really want to have cable management options (I have a lot of cables). If you did get one, how did you find it?

I didn't. Couldn't find anything like it for what I was willing to spend. Everything is asymetrical, way too deep at the corner etc. If you find anything, let me know!

The whole point of a corner desk is that you work into the corner. Its designed for ergonomics so that the deepest part of the desk is where you work, so that you have adequate room to support your wrists, have room for your mouse and monitors and other peripherals. They are not designed for 2 separate work areas. The idea is that they provide the same amount of desk area as a linear desk in a smaller linear footprint. It sounds like what the OP needs is a modular desk, with 2 rectangular desks and a corner unit to hold them together. That way you can have 2 separate work areas as you will, in effect, have 2 separate desks.

I think most corner desks are excessively deep at the corner though. That's my main gripe. I want to have my tower on one side, VR stuff and other part time peripherals to the other, and my monitors in the middle. So I just need a lot of space.
