I have an L-shaped desk. I've never like the idea of having a desk be a barrier between me and a "guest(s)" coming into my office. I also did not want to be distracted by what is a very busy hallway outside my door and fighting an unfounded rumor of me "hiding out in my office" (the old one) I will be leaving my door open fully 99% of the time.
