I am currently working on a redesign of a room in our house. We want to have a built in desk and bookshelf arrangement in one corner of the room. The shelves to the right and above the desk area need to be adjustable except for the one fixed bottom shelf. My problem is the span for the shelves over the desk is 64-1/2" and the shelves to the right are 39' long. I'm trying to figure out how to support the shelves in the corner. I don't want to move the vertical support at the left side of the desk as there is a 1" jog in the wall I'm trying to hide. The original builder didn't get the framing aligned properly and there is no good way to fix it now. The knee hole for the desk is 48-1/2" wide.
Any suggestions?

Here's three ways I came up with:

I'm leaning toward the boxed in corner, even though it would lose some shelf space, it would have better structure for support of the shelves.
