Is there enough clear space for a wheelchair?

A man in a wheelchair is sitting at a corner desk. There is a computer on the right side of the desk and a stack of papers on the left. The man's wheelchair footrests hit the legs of the desk and he is not able to pull up close enough to the desk. He is reaching out with his right hand to access the papers on a sorting tray but is unable to reach because his wheelchair is too far back.
