Reversible Return for Desk Shells

The BOSS N196-M is a 42 x 24 inch reversible return finished in mahogany. It connects to a desk shell to extend the workspace on either the right or left side. The unit is built from thermal-fused melamine with 3 mm PVC edge banding for durability. A 1 inch thick top provides a sturdy, low-maintenance surface.

Replaces a Fixed-Side Return

This return replaces a single-sided bridge that cannot be reoriented after assembly. The reversible design lets you choose the return orientation during installation to match the room layout. The jump is worth it when the desk position may change or when the initial configuration is undecided. It avoids the cost and delay of ordering a new return if the hand requirement flips.

Simple Attachment With Pre-Drilled Grommets

The return bolts to the desk shell using the supplied hardware and pre-drilled locations. Three-inch round grommets are already cut into the work surface for cable routing. The most common issue is misaligning the return handedness before tightening the bolts, which requires partial disassembly to correct. Power grommets are sold separately if powered cable management is needed.

Questions about this item

How much clearance does the 42 x 24 inch return need beside a desk shell?

The return measures 42 inches wide by 24 inches deep, so allow at least that footprint plus room for chair movement and the 3 inch grommets.

Which hardware connects the return to the desk shell, and which step is often missed?

Cam bolts and dowels join the two pieces; the step most installers miss is tightening the cams after the return is levelled.

When should the 1 inch thick melamine top be resealed or repaired?

The thermal fused melamine with 3 mm PVC edge banding resists scratches and moisture, so resealing is rarely needed; only repair deep gouges that penetrate the surface.
