How much free space do I have to leave in front of an office desk?

Furniture Ferret: Finding the right place for an office desk needs more space than just the item itself, as you also need about 50-76 cm behind the chair. Reserving this space means that you will be able to push the chair back to stand up, or swivel to a cabinet or bookshelf behind you. So altogether you will need an area 100 cm deep free in front of an office desk. For example, 105 cm deep office desks would require a 205 cm deep floor space in total. This doesn't mean that the extra room behind the chair needs to be dead space, though, as it can double as the room required to get to a dresser, filing cabinet, or a bookshelf.

From the history of furniture: Desks and secretaries Part 5

To return to the bookcase-desk in Figure 281. It is about eight feet high, and the Gothic treatment of the doors makes them very ornamental. One of the marked peculiarities of this style of furniture was the use of metal mounts, made usually of handsome hand-worked or cast brass, and in finer pieces, of water gilt. Our cabinet-makers never let themselves be carried away by this florid style, and contented themselves in most cases with merely making the capitals at the tops of the pillars, ornaments, and sometimes the tips of the feet of brass. You will see them in this example. The lid of the desk folds back upon itself, and above it another lid SAAings out, revealing pigeon-holes.

The quiet simplicity of this desk is in marked con trast to the superb pieces shown in Figure 283. Every one of the splendid gilt ornaments on tliese desks is worth careful study.

There was only one man in England, and none here, aaIio could have designed such desks as these, and that was Thomas Hope, whose studies in Greek and Roman antiquities enabled him almost to vie with the ancients in the beauty and grace of his figures. His book, called "Costumes of the Ancients," brought him great fame; it was published about 1807, and remains to this day a source of inspiration to those whose taste leads them to antique models. When he designed furniture it was always after classical forms, and decorated with his incomparable figures and ornaments. While many of his designs were not comfortable to sit or recline upon, they were certainly very beautiful to the eye. There are few such desks as these in this country, or in fact to be found anywhere, and I give these merely as examples of what splendid furniture did find its way Over here.
