1.  Where will the l-shaped desk be located?

Which room you place the corner computer desk in as well as how the desk will be positioned in that room is an important thing to know.  I once bought an l-shaped desk without considering this, and once it was installed in my office I realized that the space designed to keep my computer was facing the back corner of the room.  I was able to flip the desk around to face the front, however it jutted out into the room in a way that I did not originally want it to.

So it is very important that you have it laid out in your floor plan exactly how the desk will be setup. 

2.  What functions do you want the desk to have?

Do you want a keyboard tray?  Do you want file drawer space?  Do you need a lot of regular drawer space?  Do you need to place a lot of computer and printing equipment on your desk?  Do you need to have a space for quests to be able to sit across from you and write?  Do you need a hutch?

Ask yourself these types of questions before you shop so you know exactly what you are looking for.

3.  What style material do you want?

Do you want wood or laminate?  What color material matches your office?  What color hardware do you want (brass, silver etc.)? 

Once you have the answer to all these questions, then you should know exactly what type of l-shaped office desk you are looking for.  Then you can begin your search for the perfect corner office.
