    Let me show you what current owners have to say about it.

    M. Davis,
    I shopped all over for this type of Computer Desk. I have had this same model of desk for several years. I bought this one for my son. The construction of this desk is excellent. It is very sturdy and saves a lot of space by being a tower desk.

    Review paraphrased and shortened for size – View complete original review as well as over 10 other customer reviews here.

    Some people just have a lot of money to spend. Must be nice. If you’re one of those people then I’ve created this list just for you. Below are the 3 most expensive corner computer desks I was able to find for the month of July 2010. Surprisingly, they’re not that expensive at all. Let’s take a look.

    Corner Computer Workstation
    $558.00

    The most expensive luxury corner computer desk I was able to find was the Corner Computer Workstation by Bestar. It’s large and offers plenty of surface space, shelving, and drawers for all of your business needs. This corner computer desk features an eye level monitor shelf and a pull out keyboard tray. This is one heavy desk, weighing 241lbs. Wow. That makes the Corner Computer Workstation the heaviest corner computer desk I’ve looked at so far. Some assembly required.

    Legaré 60″ x 47″ Corner Desk
    $379.00
    Go here for discount.

    This isn’t the first time, and at this point I’m 100% sure this won’t be the last time that the Legaré 60″ x 47″ Corner Desk shows up on one of these lists. It’s an incredibly popular desk for home offices with a very high customer satisfaction rating. It has a 5 out of 5 star rating for ease of assembly and expandability and is definitely one of the best purchases you can make if you’re looking for the ideal corner computer desk. It’s made of eco friendly composite wood, weighs only 175lbs, and can be assembled in as little as 3 minutes with absolutely no tools. I mean seriously, what more can you ask for in a corner computer desk?

    Sand Granite and Charcoal Corner Desk
    $349.00
    Go here for discount.

    The last luxury corner computer desk on our list is the Sand Granite and Charcoal Corner Desk also by Bestar. As you can see it is similar in design to the first one in exception for that it lacks some of the drawers and shelfing. This corner computer desk would look awesome on light colored carpet. Just a personal observation. This desk is made out engineered would with a laminate finish. It is incredibly durable and can hold over 200lbs. The only complaint I’ve found about it so far is that it does take a while to assemble. One customer claimed it took him around 7 hours to assemble. Otherwise, reviews of this desk have been highly favorable. It’s definitely a lot of bang for your buck.

    There you have it, folks. These desks are all gorgeous, spacious, and conservatively priced in my opinion, especially for being in the most expensive category. If you take a look at my article on the regular luxury home office desks you’ll see that you can easily find less spacious traditional rectangular desks up onto the thousands of dollars. That makes corner computer desks look all the more appealing in my eyes.

    Pretty much anyone who owns a computer has shopped for a computer desk before. Many decide to narrow their search down to corner computer desks due to their space saving attribute. But there are many other things to ponder on your search for the perfect computer desk.

    Size

    If someone has ever told you that size doesn’t matter . . . they lied. The size of your corner computer desk is probably one of the biggest considerations you’ll make. If you’re trying to fit your new corner computer desk in a cramped space, it’s a wise idea to take measurements first. Luckily, corner computer desks come in many different sizes, from compact to large enough to take up half a wall on both sides of the room (depending on how big the room is, of course).

    Shelf Space

    Some people follow the KISS (keep it simple stupid) method and clutter their desks with as little as possible. However, for those of us who like to plug so many peripherals into our computers that we could suck the electricity out of half a street block, you’ll probably need a lot of shelving for your electronic treasures. Some desks come with tiers and different set ups for your devices. Many include a CPU shelf and printer platform. You can even get some of the most compact corner computer desks that have extra shelving for all of your peripheral needs.

    Price

    Yeah, you knew I would get to it. We don’t all have a money tree growing in our backyards. And even for those of us who do, not all of us want to sink a grand into a corner computer desk. What you’re willing to spend will depend largely on your budget and the functionality you’re looking for in a corner computer desk. The average student can likely get away with spending around or under $100, while someone who works from home, has a lot of peripherals, and needs a ton of desk space may have to spend between $400 – $900 to get the kind of desk that they need.

    Material

    There are also more minor considerations, such as the material that the corner computer desk is made out of. Some people have a preference for solid wood while others are content with particle board, as long as it holds together well. You can even buy desks made out of recycled wood to help the environment. On the more expensive side, they even have desks with marble desk tops. Whoda thunk it, right?

    Portability

    Truth of the matter is, if you buy a solid wood computer desk, it’s most likely going to weigh over 100lbs. Not fun to move, especially if you tend to relocate a lot. It should also be noted that you pretty much can’t buy a wood desk with rollers. So, unless you have a fetish for pain and suffering, if you purchase a solid wood corner computer desk, it’s probably going to be a set it and forget it ordeal. For those that do move around a lot, you might consider something lighter, like a desk made from particle board or one with rollers on the bottom.

    Assembly

    Let’s face it, we’re not all mechanically inclined. And sometimes we look at those assembly instructions and they look like they were written in some foreign languages. Heck, sometimes the picture on the assembly instructions doesn’t look like the same desk that you bough. And remember those heavy wooden desks we were just talking about? Can you imagine putting one together . . . by yourself. Some of the panels alone on those weigh too much for one person to hold up and screw together at the same time. I definitely recommend doing a bit of research on assembly before making a purchase. It can be the difference between enjoying your newly assembled corner computer desk within five minutes or spending five hours pulling your hair out in the middle of a pile of paneling that, at that moment, you’re probably considering using as kindling.

    Buying Online Or At A Store

    This is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make on your path to buying a corner computer desk, and a no brainer to some of us. Odds are, unless you’re buying a really small corner computer desk, you’ll probably have to have a truck to move it. With the economy taking a nose dive and people switching to driving economy vehicles, it’s probably safe to say that the majority of the people in the market for a corner computer desk do not own a vehicle large enough to transport it from the store back to their home. However, buying in a traditional brick and mortar store does give you one advantage. Most stores will have a model on display so that you know exactly what you’re buying before you purchase it. You get a type of test driving of the merchandise that you can’t get online. However, odds are that you’ll have a lot less models to choose from and the prices of even the models that are in store will be a lot higher than what you can find online.

    This is pretty much a complete list of considerations. You can use the list above to form a series of questions. Once you have the answers, you can narrow down to the perfect corner computer desk for you. Do some research online, and you’ll be sitting at the corner computer desk of your dreams in no time.

    We all know that if tons of people are buying a certain product, there’s a pretty good chance that it’s a product worth buying. That’s why I decided to come up with this list of the 3 best selling corner computer desks for May of 2010. While I’m compiling this list right now, I do realize that it might not always be relevant, that’s why I plan on creating updated lists later on down the line as buying trends change. So, let’s get the ball rolling.

    The winner of our 3 best selling computer corner desks by a landslide is the Legaré 60″ x 47″ Corner Desk. It’s sophisticated looking yet deceptively easy to assemble and completely modifiable. There are so many extensions and peninsulas you can add to this desk that it will have your head spinning.

    This desk is very likely the top selling corner computer desk due to it’s expensive looking design, rediculously easy 3 minute tool free assembly, and expandability. You can read more about the Legaré 60″ x 47″ Corner Desk by reading our related article. Despite the expensive look of this corner computer desk, the Legaré 60″ x 47″ Corner Desk only retails for $379.00 and you can get it at an even better price by clicking on the picture above.

    Our second contender is the Studio RTA A-Tower Computer Desk. This popular corner computer desk most likely gets its high buyer numbers due to its small space saving frame, portability, and attractive price tag. The Studio RTA A-Tower Computer Desk is only $108.00, which puts it in a comfortable price range for students and families.

    The desk itself is easy to assemble and can be put together within an hour. The legs are adjustable and there is plenty of self space for your peripherals. This desk earns it’s award for second best selling corner computer desk of May 2010 due to its versatility, shelf space, space saving, ease of construction, and affordability.

     

     

    It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that the 3rd best selling corner computer desk is made by the same manufacturer as the top best selling corner computer desk. The Legaré 47″ x 47″ Corner Desk is next on our list with a whooping 100% customer satisfaction report from one of the top online retails. Offering the same versatility and ease of assembly as our top selling competitor, the Legaré 47″ x 47″ Corner Desk is designed for people who like a bit more semetry in their furniture and also don’t have the space for the larger 60″ x 47″ model.

    The Legaré 47″ x 47″ Corner Desk is made of eco-friendly engineered composite wood and is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. This is a great desk for those looking to help save the planet. It comes with 3 adjustable shelves and is still affordable at only $338.62. However, you can get it at an even lower price by clicking on the picture above.

    That’s all for now. Tune in later for more “Top 3″ lists. In a few months I’ll check the stats again and post an updated list if another great corner computer desk contender steps out of the wood work (no pun intended) and knocks one of these big boys out of the rankings. Cheers until then!

    Pros and Cons of Corner Computer Desks

    When looking to purchase a new desk there are many options to choose from and many different things that factor into making a buying decision. Main factors in purchasing a new desk usually include: the type of environment the desk is being purchased for (such as a large roomy office, a cramped cubical, or a semi spacious apartment), the number and size of Pcs and peripherals that will adorn the surface or surfaces of the desk, and the price range. There are many others, but those are the basics.

    Corner computer desks are an attractive option to many people in the market for a new computer desk. They’re generally great on space and come in an almost equal variety of colors and styles as regular computer desks. However, there are drawbacks to purchasing a corner computer desk in some cases. So, let’s go over the pros and cons of purchasing a corner computer desk.

    Pro #1 – They save space.

    Corner computer desks were designed with space saving in mind. They were built to tuck neatly into the corner of any room with a 90 degree angled wall. Having your desk up against the wall, especially in a corner where it’s awkward to fit most furniture, leaves your floor open, often making a room appear more spacious.

    Pro #2 – They’re just as versatile as standard computer desks.

    Corner computer desks come in a variety of styles. Some are as basic as only having one standard surface, while others have multiple surfaces, shelves, and CD racks. You can also find corner computer desks made out of a variety of different materials, from wood to metal to particle board. The price range of corner computer desks varies from inexpensive to plush, just like normal computer desks.

    Con #1 – You might not have a good view.

    Unless you’re in a large corner office with wall to wall windows, there’s a pretty good chance that the view from your corner computer desk isn’t going to be much to gawk at. Most homes and apartments don’t have window placement close enough to the corner of their rooms to give you a good view. Having said that, there’s a pretty good chance you’re going to be facing a wall. You can give yourself some better viewing by adding pictures or paintings to the adjoining walls.

    Con #2 – There is little selection at retail establishments.

    Odds are, if you walk into your local Walmart, you’re not going to have a very limited number of corner computer desks to choose from, if any at all. Most people prefer standard sized computer desks, making corner computer desks too small of a niche for large retailers to want to invest a lot of money in their stock. For the best selection of corner computer desks, your best bet is to shop online.

    Corner computer desks can be the perfect solution to your space saving problems. They’re stylist, functional, and for the most part easy on the wallet. If you’re still not sure if a corner computer desk is the right solution for you, write your own list of pros and cons. Do some research on the different types and styles of corner computer desks. Make an informed buying decision.

    Small Corner Computer Desks

    For those REALLY trying to save space, small corner computer desks are often the answer. Most are just big enough to hold a PC and can fit snuggly in the corner of almost any small space. Because they’re typically light weight and low budget, small corner computer desks are in high demand for college students and those living in apartments. Two great desks for just the situation are the Coastline Corner Desk and the Apollo Corner Desk. Both of these computer desks are easy to assemble, light weight, and under $200.

    Above is the Apollo Corner Desk by Directions East. Weighing in at only 39 pounds, this sleek black desk can fit in just about any small corner space imaginable. It was designed with the student in mind. Perfect for dorm room living and can stand up to quite a bit of wear and tear. The frame is made of metal and the surface areas are made of wood composite. The difficulty level of assembly for this corner computer desk is moderate, making it the only foreseeable drawback. You can check out product specifications and get a great deal on the price by going here.

    Even simpler in design is the Coastline Corner Desk made by MM International. This desk is made entirely of wood composite, is easy to clean, and designed more for the laptop user in mind. You could fit a desktop computer on the surface, but there probably wouldn’t be much room left over. Being that this corner computer desk is made completely of wood composite, it’s a bit heavier, weighing 50lbs. This also makes it a bit more expensive that the Apollo Corner Desk. As with the Apollo Corner Desk, there are no drawers for storage. You can check out the price and specifications by going here.

    My personal preference would be the Apollo Corner Desk. It’s more conveniently constructed for both laptop and desktop pc use. It weighs less and is also lower in price. I think the only thing that would make it better as a space saver is if it had wheels. I also like that it’s constructed with a metal frame as opposed to being entirely constructed of partical board. This would make it more durable in the dorm room, where things might get out of control, as well as around small children. That’s just my two cents though. You be the one to decide.

    Corner Computer Desks Under $100

    Many people often wonder where they can get a corner computer desk for under $100. It’s often hard to find corner computer desks for under $100 at your local retailer.
