I did mention that the back edge was on batons fixed to the walls. Does that not imply it’s in the corner?
No just the back edge not the side return.Ideally you would have said I want a corner desk fitted to the corner of my room.L shaped desk where the return sticks out into room are just a s common.
Obvious to everyone else, it seems. By implication, two sections, in an L-shape would need the support of a corner, and walls on each side.

Blimey, ok whilst I appreciate any and all advice offered, it does seem there is an element of splitting hairs here.
I’ll edit my OP to included all the supposed misconceptions or assumptions.

In the original post he said "walls", not wall.
Could still fit to walls with return into room.
OP edited, those still willing to advise, please re-read. I think i’ve covered all bases bow.
You posted that at 6.55pm yesterday. The OP had not specifically mentioned that it was in a corner, but I, and others assumed that it was a corner. Why did you suddenly decide that it was a corner? You often offer up sound advice. You recently corrected me after I disagreed with you. I put my hands up and apologised to you (as I should).
I do not understand why some people on this site are combative towards OPs. Yeah, some OPs can ask weird questions. In this case the OP asked valid questions. Perhaps we need to set egos aside. This site exists because people, like you and I, offer advice. Sometimes our, well intentioned, advice will be incorrect, as happened with me recently.
In this case the OP is a long standing member, but I would not expect a newbie to want to hang around if a fellow member starts maligning them.
I spend my spare time here because I am indebted to others that have helped me over the years. The running costs of a site like this are well above my pay grade, and I have reseller hosting account. I want this site to be successful, but for it to succeed we need less criticism and back biting, and yes, I am painfully aware that I look like I am being critical of you. Again, I have seen you offer sound advice.
You spend a lot of time here. I spend a lot of time here. Long may this site continue. And kudos for being part of the club.
I still, at the back of my mind, think that the biscuits should be siliconed given the stresses on the join. The biscuits will help to deal with lateral (up/down movements). Additionally, you will be using silicone for the main join. Sorry my answer is not definitive but I am pretty sure that Job'n'knock gave me similar advice when I had to something slightly similar.
I have maligned no one , merely pointed out errors which lead to incorrect advice .
Why would he recommend silicon rather than glue in this situation? No Nails is an adaptable adhesive that could stick 'Solvite Man' to a board and fly him round the houses.
I honestly can't remember why.
Apropos the Solvite advert, from memory, it was their starch based powdered wall paper paste that stuck his boilersuit to the panel. Had the helicopter lifted him up on a rainy day, I doubt that he would still be alive. That said, I am well old, there may be a newer version that I missed.
I just wondered if there was something in the chemical makeup to make a difference between the two - Solvite Man came to mind for no particular reason.
This is the one from 1978
the following was from 1984
Both seem to have been their powdered based versions. Again if it were to rain the glue would fail pretty quickly (read: within minutes)
Products such as No Nails don't seem to be any different to likes of the water based version of Gripfill which preceded them.
