Can the L-shaped desk and hutch area be separated and used as separate units?

No, this desk is 100% U-shape (not modular). There is no base to support the bridge.

yes. The two end pieces are joined together by the rounded corner piece, but the two rectangular pieces are sturdy enough to be used as two separate desks.

Yes, you can separate them and use them apart from one another. However the stand is built into the keyboard case. I've used the keyboard to type and have propped the IPad up nearby.

The desk is 32 inches long (side to side) and 19 inches deep (front to back). The hutch is 8 inches deep and same length of desk. With hutch on, desk space is reduced to 11 inches (size of a piece of paper). The pull out is 25 inches (side to side) and 15 inches deep. You have 3 1/2 inches of space for keyboard or laptop when pushed closed. Without the hutch you could use a small printer and use pull out as writing space. It's not big enough to have all the supplies a working desk needs (lamp, pencil cup, stapler, files, etc). It's mainly a small desk for a small space where you can write a quick letter or use your laptop. I just got a wireless printer and trying to figure out where to put it since working space on top of desk is limited. Hope this information is helpfull.

No, you can't, holes are pre-drilled and left side of desk has rounded edge while right side doesn't.

Yes, specially with the hutch. you need 2 people minimum to assemble. But is worth it, excellent piece, and great quality...Almost scratch proof and very professional looking. very strong and heavy,,,,

I wouldn't recommend it. There are two shelf units on either end of the desk, quite substantial. They all fit together--nothing is independent. This is a durable unit, but I wouldn't advise piecemeal assembly. If this is for a child, and he/she isn't old enough for a desk, consider something else, or assemble the whole thing, and store things on the shelves and use the desk for artwork. My daughter's in high school, and she has loved the unit. It's an investment in time (assembly) and money, so make sure it's what you want. Also, the bed is very high up. I wouldn't recommend it for a very young child.

Not without drilling and tapping new holes. The desk is designed this way.The shelf and the file drawer form the base for the desk top.

Yes. The hutch is packed in the box as a separate piece. There are 2 small holes on the desktop for screwing in the hutch, but you can leave it off, and the holes are barely noticeable.

No, you can still have the Hutch installed, regardless what you built first. But you will need another set of hands to lift it on the desk. Hope this helps.

There are two fixed shelves that divide the unit into three even sections. The rest of the shelves are removable.

I took mine apart and can't say for sure every section could be used, but yes you could join them together.

No. The desk is set up so that it attaches to the right. There are little holes in all the parts in specific areas so that it's made to be put together like in the picture. You can probably attach it to the left, but that might require more work.

Yes you can !!.....Keyboard shelf is a pain in the A_s to put in anyway.desk is very neat & clean... U will have to clean it every day,,,dust !!!!Keep in mind if you move the file storage to the other side, the door will be a bit inconvenient swing to the left !!!!

The legs are attached to the desk by a carefully designed system of bolts and bracing. There is no wiggle room whatever in the design; the parts can be installed one way and one way only. If you get this desk, take great care not to confuse the right leg with the left. Otherwise, it will not fit together.

Yes. On the right side of the hutch there is a long opening meant for cords. There is not an opening on the left side of the hutch where it gets divided. Hope this helps.

I do have my tower under the hutch, which takes up a bit of leg room. But I also added a pull out keyboard tray, so I don't sit close enough to the desk now to be concerned about leg room. I have my monitor on the angle, and that gives me plenty of room behind it for the cable connections etc. To my left the desk top remaining is about 24' x 24". I am very happy with the Cabot Corner Desk. Do note however, that it does take some time to assemble, and part of it require two people.
