Left-handed desk types to choose from

Left-handed desks are useful for those who favor the left side. Left-handed desks feature drawers, cupboards and shelving on the left side instead of the right. Some desks have smaller cubbies and drawers to organize pens, tape, sticky notes, and other office items. U-shaped desks also have storage or hutches to the left and offer a large and accessible working surface; this makes them ideal for large offices with a lot of paperwork or collaboration.

Left-handed L-shaped desks provide a large working and storage area, and can sit anywhere in the room including corners to optimally use space. Some feature privacy returns to help workers concentrate more. Left-handed corner desks are usually small, making them ideal for optimizing space at home or in offices. Some options feature levelers to ensure proper installation and stability on uneven floors.

Left-handed computer desk features

Some of these computer desks include features such as touch latch designs that let users access their CPUs from the rear to connect or disconnect peripherals. Others include built-in surge protectors. Integrated grommets or wire management covers on desks help organize cables and keep the work environment safe.

Peripherals such as keyboards and mice have their own retracting shelf in many of these desks. In some, the shelf is big enough to accommodate a laptop. Thick, thermally fused laminate on the surfaces of many desktops prevent scratches. The desks come in various designs such as harvest and antique style finishes. Brands to choose from include:

• Bush®
• Martin Furniture
• Regency Seating

Some desks are reconfigurable for use by both left and right-handed people, such as some choices from Bestar®. For classroom setups, some manufacturers make seating for those who use their hands, such as select Flash Furniture student desks options, which you can find at Quill, along with other furniture.

Ergonomic left-handed office desks

Options such as sit and stand desks for left-handed people give users the choice to work in several positions. Some allow three different standing heights such as 37, 40, and 43 inches to accommodate individuals of different sizes. Most height adjustment functions operate using simple mechanical lift-and-lock mechanisms.
