Go to Ikea, see what components you like and build your own.

I, personally, bought 2x2m wide desks, used one in the back to hide cables and such. Then I got 2x drawer sets that were an appropriate height and used those instead of legs, cost less than £100-150 total and it's a nice little desk with plenty of storage space thanks to the drawers.

I can help you with some stuff on Ikea but would need to know the dimensions of the space you have for the desk to recommend anything suitable.

As the person above said Ikea is a good place for desks but if you live somewhere where there isn't an Ikea store then i would recommend this

It looks alot smaller and uglier in the photo but you have the option to have it as a corner or you could just join both desks together as one long table. You also don't have to install the keyboard rack underneath and is very easy to build. They also include the tools needed to assemble.

If you look at the customer ratings you should find some good photos.

I'm almost certain that you can't assemble it so that it's straight, it has to be assembled as a corner desk. Ikea do home delivery on a lot of things. Ikea is just straight up the best option since you can manually assemble a desk to your liking and dimensions, the only reason to get anything else would be if you had a tight budget and just needed a small desk quickly.

Plus, with Ikea, you can look at kitchen counters and stuff instead if you want a nice looking desk, look in to the marble countertop offerings and shit. I've seen plenty people do it and can look amazing sometimes. Also, who doesn't want a unique desk?

Yeah i didn't think i could do that either but there's a small triangle that goes in between the two desks to separate them which can be removed.

I agree with you on the kitchen counter tops though, think its called Ikea hacking. Seen a few nice desks being built from going down that route.

Sanctorum I like the spooky black profile picture. And would you mind sharing a picture of what your desk looks like?

Thank you.

I would, if I had one. I've not got a very good image of my desk, and it's kind of a mess right now. I need to clean it up and get some proper photo's with my camera but I just haven't had any time. I'm sure I'll get some at some point though
