I still have a corner desk at home. We got it when we purchased our first home. It is a solid office furniture style that weighs a ton. Flat screens where becoming the norm and we got it for like 15% of the list price.
What’s nice about it today.
The router, modem, backup hard drives, security system, are all tucked behind the double monitors we have now. That back corner offers a lot of desk space for stuff that needs to be tucked away and not bothered.
Leg room- there’s tons of it under the desk.
Fits well in the bedroom we have setup as an office. We have a window to the back yard in that room. The corner desks allows us to lean back to look outside while keeping the monitors out of the sun.
Writing surfaces on either side. I am ambidextrous and can write with either hand. However the desk works for both right or left handed people.
Probably at least one big reason is that most non techy people switched to laptops which can be used anywhere, so no reason to have a huge computer desk taking space anymore when the dining table or sofa is good enough.
I mean, photo was taken with a potato. Wifi router on the top, 15" laptop on the desk. Is 2015 really nostalgia worthy?
Kinda. Corner desks are not popular anymore because 90% of the benefits are lost with modern tech.
Like others have said, they were pretty amazing for CRTs. Reminds me of my super cool desk in the early 2000s. Now I wouldn’t even consider one.

Hey more power to you! If I hadn’t received my desk for free I’d still probably be using my old corner desk. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

Good point!! And lots of people don’t even get those anymore since phones go online
