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.

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.
