Seventy-eight point seven inches is six and a half feet along the long run, and that is the number to take to the room before anything else. Two walls have to give up that much length and stay clear of a radiator, a door swing and a window reveal. A desk at this size is bought for the second surface rather than the first: the return is where the printer, the paperwork and the laptop live permanently, which is what keeps the main run empty.

How it lives in the room

Give the long run the window

A screen facing a window glares and a screen with its back to one silhouettes you on every call. Put the long run along the window wall so the light arrives from the side, and the return takes the dark corner where storage does not care about daylight.

Two walls, measured at skirting height

Measure where the desk actually touches, which is at the base, not at hand height. Skirting boards, pipe boxing and a radiator bracket all steal an inch at floor level and will hold a six-and-a-half-foot run away from the wall at one end, leaving a visible gap at the other.

Build it where it stays

Assembled, this is one large rigid object that will not go back through a standard doorway without coming apart again. Do the whole build in its final position, on the diagonal if the room is tight, rather than assembling it in a hallway and discovering the geometry afterwards.

Before you order

The listing describes storage as drawers or shelving without fixing the configuration, so confirm what the chosen version includes before planning a filing system around it. At this length, two people and a clear floor make the difference between an hour and an afternoon.
