I don't have a good pic of his desk because it's always a mess. We have DH's desk sort of in the middle of the room. The wall behind him is solid built in bookcases so he's floating front and back, but we pushed the left edge on the desk up to the wall so he could reach outlets. If I'd known we preferred this arrangement I would've put outlets in the floor. If getting next to a wall isn't an option at all there are cord covers that can be used to put over the cord so that it lays flat and less obvious along the floor, and with the cover you wouldn't be tripping over it. I've used those in areas of our previous house where it's not too obviously across the middle of the room.
