Best L Shaped Desk in Hong Kong
An L shaped desk gives you something a straight desk rarely can: room to spread out without taking over the whole floor. It turns an unused corner into a proper workstation, keeps your monitors and paperwork apart, and lets you turn rather than reach. But more surface does not automatically mean better posture. A corner desk at the wrong height, or with the screen on the wrong side, can leave you twisting all day. At EKOBOR, we plan every L shape desk around the person using it first, then the room, then the finish.
01 · WORKSPACE
Why an L Shaped Desk Suits the Way You Work
Most people do more than one kind of task at their desk. Screen work, reading, writing, video calls and reviewing documents all compete for the same surface. On a straight desk, that usually means piles pushed to one side and a keyboard squeezed into what is left.
An L shaped office desk separates those tasks into zones:
- A main screen zone for focused computer work, set at the correct height for your elbows and eyes
- A secondary zone for documents, a laptop, a second monitor or meetings with a colleague
- A clear corner that keeps you within easy reach of both, with a short turn of the chair
Posture makes a tremendous difference to our health quality. The goal of a good corner desk is not just more space. It is less reaching, less twisting and more natural movement between tasks. When the desk is also height adjustable, you gain the option to stand for part of the day, which our specialists often suggest in 30 minute blocks.

03 · COMPARISON
Comparing L Shaped Desk Options
The right L shaped desk depends on your room size, your equipment and how much you want to move during the day. This comparison shows where each option fits best.
| Desk option | Height adjustable | Best for | Space needed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed L shaped office desk | No | Users who mainly sit, with light equipment | Medium to large |
| Height adjustable L shape desk | Yes | Sit stand working across two task zones | Medium to large |
| Mini L corner desk | Yes | Small flats, bedrooms, compact home offices | Small |
| Four motor L shape desk | Yes | Heavy setups, multiple monitors, frequent adjustment | Medium to large |
| Customised L shape workstation | Yes | Irregular rooms, bay windows, pillars | Built to measure |
If your desk sits in a corner beside a window or pillar, a customised size is often the difference between a desk that fits and one that almost fits.
04 · CHOOSING
How to Choose the Right Corner Desk
Decide Which Side Is Your Main Work Zone
Before choosing left or right return, think about where your main screen should face. Your primary monitor should sit directly in front of you, not on the corner and not on the return. Many people prefer the return on the side of their dominant hand, where they write, take notes or use a laptop.
Get the Height Right for Both Sides
On a height adjustable L shape desk, both sides move together, so the height should suit your main task. With elbows at around 90 degrees and wrists straight, your forearms should rest lightly on the surface. If you find yourself shrugging or leaning, adjust the height before adjusting anything else.
Place Screens at Eye Level
The top of your monitor should sit around eye level, roughly an arm's length away. On a deeper corner desk, it is easy to push the screen too far back. Our monitor arms let you bring the screen to exactly the right position and free up surface space on both sides.
Use the Corner Wisely
The corner is the hardest area to reach comfortably, so avoid placing your keyboard there. A dedicated L shape corner keyboard tray can help keep typing at the right height and distance when the corner is part of your main layout.

06 · EXPERTISE
Guided by a Certified Ergonomic Specialist
EKOBOR was founded by Kei Kei, a Certified Office Ergonomic Specialist, Certified Chair Assessment Specialist and AASFP Personal Fitness Trainer. Her mission is to make wellness at work achievable through high quality, affordable sit stand solutions.
That is why we do not sell an L shaped desk on size alone. Our sales team is trained to consider your height, body type and weight, and to ask how you actually work. Do you write by hand? Use two monitors? Take calls standing? The answers shape which side the return sits on, how long each side should be and which chair will support you best.
A well planned corner desk should feel like it was made for you. With EKOBOR, it often is.
07 · QUESTIONS
FAQs About L Shaped Desks
Can an L shaped desk be height adjustable?
Yes. Our height adjustable L shape desks use multiple motors to lift both sides together, so the whole surface moves evenly between sitting and standing height.
Is an L shaped desk suitable for a small Hong Kong flat?
It can be. A compact Mini L design or a customised size lets you use an otherwise empty corner without blocking walkways. Measure clearance for your chair and any doors or cabinets before deciding.
Should I choose a left or right return?
Choose based on where your main screen sits and which hand you write with. Most people place the return on their dominant side for notes and a laptop, keeping the main monitor straight ahead.
Where can I see L shaped desks in person?
You can visit our showrooms in Causeway Bay and Kowloon Bay to try the height adjustment, compare finishes and discuss sizes with our team. Browse the full L shape desk collection online before your visit.
Do you deliver and install L shaped desks?
Yes. Our team delivers and assembles your desk. Delivery time slots, area charges and stairs fees are explained on our delivery and installation page, and customised desks follow the production timeline agreed during design.
