word order - position of "on the left, on the right"

Hello,

which is correct?

1) There is a blackboard at the wall on the right.

2) There is a blackboard on the right at the wall.

Thank you for your help Mowgli

Hi, I'd say it just depends on which you want to emphasize more. Put the more important information first. You could even say At the wall, there is a blackboard on the right.
