L Shaped Glass Office Desk

Orren Ellis

Available with a black or white shelving unit, one end of this glass desk top sits on a chrome x-bar leg support. The desk requires assembly, and it will take two people to lift the heavy glass top into place. At 55” by 47”, the glass plus desk return weighs 130 lbs.

Designer Advice:

This desk is loaded with ways you can set it up. A round stainless steel rod connects the glass top to a three-tier shelving return. This rod lets you pivot the two pieces to create an l-shaped desk with a right or left configuration. It also lets you swing the shelving portion to sit fully under the glass worktop. You can then pull it apart to create a longer desk in one straight line.

Buying Guide

Is a glass desk a good idea?

Yes, an L-shaped glass desk with drawers is usually a great idea for many reasons. First of all, it immediately looks stylish and contemporary. Plus, the glass surface will help make your room appear airier and wider than it actually is. It’s also easy to wipe clean should you spill something onto it.

However, keep in mind that you might have to wipe your L-shaped glass desk with drawers more often than with a traditional wooden surface as glass tops make fingerprints more obvious. Even though these desks are built to be resistant, glass is still more fragile than other solid surfaces.

What style interior will a glass desk match?

Glass desks denote clean lines and go with any interior decor theme that resembles this.

If you have an industrial theme, why not add a glass desk with a metal base for a cutting-edge look, and if you have a Scandinavian theme, why not keep it consistent with a functional and simplistic glass desk with a matte glass panel. The mid-century decor is timeless, and by pairing your glass desk with other wooden furniture and decor, you'll introduce a mid-century modern style to your home.

How to protect the glass top of my desk?

If you've recently invested in an L-shaped glass desk with drawers, then you need to know how to keep it looking its best for as long as possible. You can start by preventing scratches. So any items that contain sharp edges or abrasive bases should not be placed on your glass table unless you have a protective runner underneath it.

If you'd like to enjoy a refreshing cup of coffee or a hot meal while working at your desk, use a soft protective material, like a fabric runner or placemat, underneath your mugs and plates to keep from damaging your glass L shape desk.

Any detergents containing ammonia or acid should be avoided altogether. Instead, opt for more natural or homemade cleaning solutions such as white vinegar and water and use a microfiber cloth when wiping off spills and messes.
