can i put this desk the other way? The long side on the left and the short side on the right?

Absolutely. It's versatile. I've actually changed the sections twice in order to accommodate the area in my apt

not 100% sure without taking it apart, but i wouldn't see why not, there are just a few pieces that would need to be flipped over

Unfortunately, no. The holes are not drilled completely through to do that.

This is a case where pictures help a lot. http://bit.ly/1iV441c http://bit.ly/1lNXwRi There are screws that go into the desktop from underneath that include longer ones from the left-right braces and shorter ones from the arms on the left and right. The instructions clearly tell you to do this all upside-down, with the desktop on the ground face down. I didn't do that, because I didn't have room for it, and it was very, very difficult, but it would have been very easy if I followed directions.

The desk can be assembled to either configuration. Assemble the desk close to where it will set, because it is heavy.

I agree with the other answers - there is a small overhang, if you will, but the hutch (if you purchase it) aligns flush with it, so the desk would be essentially flush with the wall on either side. And the keyboard tray can be on the right, left or in the middle of the "L". Very happy with the product.

Yes, the shelf can go on either side of th desk. It is a terrific desk.And easy to put together.

Yes. You can put the shelves on either side. I've personally switched them twice already with no problem. Very easy to do.

Yes, you can put the "L" on either the right or left side of the main desk. I have two of these desk in different rooms and one has the "L" on the left side and the other on the right so I know it works.

I don't think you can, unless you can drill holes on all the tower shelf panels to move it to the left side. All the panels come pre drilled with holes and step-by-step instructions on putting the table together. So in theory you could possibly move the tower shelf to the left side, if you can take appropriate measurements to drill the required holes.

It can be reversed. The desk is a little higher then most I have purchased. If you are using this for home office you will probably like this desk. I bought 3 for my rental office, I would not recommend them for constant use.

It must be on the right as pictured. It is a different size (3 or 4 inches larger) than the drawer on the left. This is a wonderful desk. I'm very happy with it. It is as good as desks that cost twice as much.

If you really wanted this desk you could just drill holes for the base board to go on the opposite side of the bottom of the desk. And turn the desk the other way. I hope what I'm trying to say isn't confusing.

This stand is designed to be set and left. It takes a wrench to move it. You would be better off with a moveable desk.

It is possible to have the cabinet on the other side but the desk will only screw into place if it's arranged like the picture. The other way, the top would just sit on top but not be screwed in.

It is on the right side and can not be switched around. Nice size desk though.

You can choose. Once you have it assembled you can use one side or the other side as the front, and you will have the shelves on the right or left side.

Yes, you can pick what side you want the long and short side on. There are two sets of directions for whatever side you want.
