Big desk?

RollerBall · 9 Sep 2011 at 22:38

I had no idea where to put this but I figured as there's a desk gallery I figured here would be relevent-ish.

I'm moving into student accomodation and I'm looking for a six foot ish desk. Needs to be at least 5ft or so. Looking to fit a TV on it, one or two monitors /w mouse etc and some room to write on it. I've seen some pictures of large desks but I can't source them at all.

Help? I don't really want it to be really deep though as I'm rather limited in that department. Normal desk depth is what I'm looking for ~20-25 inches.

Checked ikea. The longest desk they had was *really* thin at like 15inches. That wouldn't barely hold my monitor and keyboard.

Wicks.

400mm X 2400mm plane white Worktop. £26

Then just plug a screw some 2"X2" PAR timber to the wall. And either use chrome legs from wicks.

Will cost you maximum of £40 for a massivly long desk. And you could also cut it to what ever leangh you want.

It's rented, I can't put anything into the wall.

I take it that's halls though. I'm in my second year so I'm in private now. My halls were £101 a week with everything included in the nicest location ever

Now I live above a corner shop in an area which when a friend visited had blood all over the street. Woop woop.

The table I mentioned can also be got without the drawer, making it £36, you can also get it in black http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50121453 and 5 legs http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/10105290

I quite like the draws. I just wish Ikea did more "wood" finishes rather than colours. I'm going to get the black desk + black table legs but I'll have to put up with the white draws as I'm going to need some draws there.
