So, the boys' desk is weirdly wide?? and I just realized it's because it's a partners desk.
There are drawers facing us and also presumably where Edwin sits.
" A partners desk, partner's desk or partners' desk (also known as a double desk) is a mostly historical form of desk, a large pedestal desk designed and constructed for two users working while facing each other. The defining features of a partner's desk are a deep top and two sets of drawers, one at each end of the pedestal" - Wikipedia
