What is the difference between a left and right handed desk? An L-shaped desk with a “left-handed return” will have the main desk portion in front of you, with the return on your left. Usually, the return has a file/file pedestal (drawers large enough for hanging files). An L-shaped desk with a “right-handed return” is the opposite – the return will be on your right.
Is there such a thing as a left handed desk? Typically, left-handed desks are given to people whose dominant hand is left, as that is the side on which the file cabinet will be. Users with left-handed hands will find it more convenient and efficient to grab files and folders when working on left-handed desks.
What does a right return desk mean? A right or left return is determined by where the return is positioned in relation to your body while you are seated at the main desk.
