Measure the complete desk footprint
Record the clear room length and width after fixed finishes, columns and built-in items are considered. An L-shaped desk uses a main worktop plus a return or side cabinet, so the planning footprint must include both legs of the L instead of only the front desk length.
Mark doors, windows, wall power, floor boxes and the intended chair position on a simple plan. Keep enough clearance for the user's chair, visitor seating, circulation and access to drawers, cabinet doors or open shelves.
- Main desk length and depth
- Return length and depth
- Chair pull-back and visitor clearance
- Drawer, door and shelf access
- Power and data connection position
Confirm left or right return orientation
Describe orientation from the seated user's position and add a marked plan or annotated product image. Terms such as left return and right return can be interpreted differently unless the viewing position is stated.
Do not assume that every model is reversible. The return, cabinet, modesty panel, cable opening or support structure may be made for one side. Ask the factory to confirm the available orientation for the complete model before the room layout or order is approved.
- Viewing position used to define left and right
- Wall and circulation relationship
- Return or side-cabinet orientation
- Cable opening and equipment location
- Factory confirmation of reversibility
Write a model-level L-shaped desk RFQ
Keep the exact BG model, selected size, orientation, finish and included storage on the same RFQ line. If dimensions are not stated in the verified source, request current size options instead of estimating measurements from the product image.
For project or export buying, add the room reference, quantity, destination and delivery target. Attach the current floor plan or room schedule when several manager offices use different orientations, so each model and quantity can be checked against the correct room revision.
- Exact model and selected size
- Left or right orientation with a marked plan
- Finish and included storage
- Room reference and quantity
- Destination, packing needs and delivery target

Prepare an RFQ ↗Frequently asked questions
How should an L-shaped office desk be measured?
Record the main desk length and depth, the return length and depth and the complete installed footprint. Also check chair, visitor, circulation and storage-opening clearances.
Are left-return and right-return office desks interchangeable?
Not always. Return cabinets, modesty panels, cable openings and support structures may be side-specific. Define orientation from the seated user's position and obtain model-level factory confirmation.
Can L-shaped desk dimensions be estimated from a product photo?
No. Use dimensions from a verified product source or a current quotation or drawing. Keep unknown measurements open for confirmation instead of estimating them from the image.
