Computer desks

[Deadbeat]

1x Metal table leg: £20
1500x750 cut of solid wood work surface: a cup of tea for the bloke piling up the skip
2m of wood baton: same

Combine with 10mins work for a perfect computer desk. The hardest part was gouging out the hole for the cables at the back, this stuff's about 1.5" thick and my hole driller was just deep enough that I could cut most of it away by coming in from both sides and applying precision pressure with a lump hammer and a 1' rasp.

Thanks, gah I cant decide which to go for now. The glass Ikea one looks more modern but I like the look of real wood. Are you sure its veneered and not the fake wood effect stuff? Looks really sturdy from the pics.

It said veneered on the packing. tbh, I couldn't tell the difference anyway. It's darned heavy and solid so it's not chipboard and is better than the Ikea one I had before.
