I currently use this:


I'm upgrading to this in a month:


I'm such a baller, I know.

You should probably just check out some of your local stores, shipping for DIY desks can be expensive and you can't always tell the quality just from online pictures.

Default Re: Recommend a desk

i picked up this cheapo desk about 8 months ago. its got a lot of space i guess. i have my two monitors above the keyboard area, a 14" tv in the corner and still have the whole main area for crap. plus the shelf leaves room for more crap. the wood is cheap and starting to warp slightly, but i still really like the desk. 80 bucks is hard to beat.

edit- also, fwiw, my roommate is planning on getting this same desk

While we're talking desks, I need one to fit 3 20" screens and 2 laptops on, any chance I'll get one long enough without getting it custom built?

i have that desk in my studio, and it rules.

I have this exact same desk. I really liked it when I got it, however its been through a couple moves and is starting to fall apart. I really am sick of it now, and when I move to my new place at the end of the month, i am [censored] canning it for a better desk. It also sucks for a dual monitor setup, unless you buy a special stand

Office max has got L-shaped glass computer desks for $199. I saw them at the local off max store and they are very nice for the $$. They have a slide out drawer and also have a stand to hold a cpu. They also deliver them for free.

Are they easily disassembeled / reassembeled for moving?

That table looks nice, but I'm used to having my keyboard / mouse on the same level as my monitors. Using a tray would take some getting used to, but I'm seriously considering that desk for when I move in a month.

Very easy. You can disconnect them in sections by removing just 2 screws.

Me too, I use the keyboard slider for storage.
